Have you ever thought back to the moment you first said "I love you" to boy/girl friend/husband/wife. I do all the time. But there is always that moment when you knew, this is the person I want to live with for the rest of my life, I really love this person, and you can’t picture a life without them. I remember telling my boyfriend I loved him for the first time months and months ago. Last Friday he left for business and he won’t be back till the 30 th , we have never been apart for this long without being able to see each other, last night I was missing him terribly and watching Juno, she was talking to her father about if people can really stay together and he told her; Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with. I so found that person, regardless of how ugly I look or if my bronzer makes me look like kin to an Oompa Loompa, he loves me and thinks I’m beautiful. He has always been there for me and to this day I get butterflies when he kisses me. I went to sleep after Juno, missing him but knowing that this is really love, and i don't think i have ever been anymore satisfied then that very moment.

When was the first time you realized that is was love... REAL love? And what made you realize it?

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.

    I knew I loved my boyfriend when we were at the gas station one day . He was inside paying for the gas and when I looked up at him from the car I saw him and in my head I said "I really love this guy" I knew at that moment that I couldn't see myself without him . It took him a while to say that he loved me but the wait was well worth it . John and I are going on a year and every day im thankful for him .

    I loved my male mate almost from the first time we met. I love his ways, his voice, his walk, his laugh makes me giggle, his sense of humor, his ideology about life, politics and the LORD, I love the way he thinks, I love his strong arms, his kisses and his touch, I love his scent, his loving thoughts and ways, his compassionate heart, his helpful nature, his intellect and I love his eyes, his mind, his chest, his body every inch of it......I DONT WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT HIM IN MY LIFE, THATS HOW I KNOW AND HOW I KNEW!

    I though love comes after a shopping day or a woman opens a gift box. Ussually when I hear my wife says I love you is after we come home from shopping mall and she would go like honey we had a wonderful day today. I love you. That's why men generally say "I love you too". I love your post.

    I knew on our first date...I had been diagnosed and had had surgery to remove 3 tumors only a week or so before our date. I really wanted to go out with him since we had talked on the phone for weeks and weeks, but we had yet to meet face to face. Long story short, our date was the first time that I had really been mobile since the surgery, but I refused to let him know that I was not feeling well. We headed out to dinner but by the time we arrived at the restaurant it was getting difficult for me to walk. As we were walking towards the restaurant, he directed me towards a place to sit down. He told me that he could tell that I wasn't feeling well and that we should rest for a moment. We sat there and he held my hand for almost an hour. It was then that I knew that I did not ever want to be without him. Two years later and we are still going strong...

    Hey Girl it's good to see you again! Hope all is well.

    I guess love comes in different forms. But I loved my husband for the person that he was. The laughter he brought into my life, our children and most of all because he loved me unconditionally!

    Nice to know that true love still exists. All you hear about everywhere in the USA is cheating husbands and boyfriends, and woman who get a kick out of making men cheat. Willpower is the most important thing around here...and no one's got it. True love, is to be able to ignore tempation, knowing that what you have is irreplaceable and your feelings are real.

    And cherishing the small things...that's what will keep it going.

    My boyfriend and I have a fairytale story with a fairytale ending. Love was something I always thought wasn't going to be for me. I've had guys love me, but I've never loved them back the same. When I look back now, I can see that I loved my boyfriend the first day we met. And the old saying is so true: when it's right, "you'll just know."

    I simply looked at him one day and thought "If I roll over every morning for the rest of my life and don't see him sleeping next to me...I know I'll regret it's not him."

    So I married him.
