I answer a phone call from my best friend asking that I get to the hospital as soon as I can - she's been in a car accident and wants me to be at the emergency room with her while she waits for her mom to arrive. Thanks to my own mother, I'm not allowed to have my car at college, so I resort to my only available option - go down the hall, bang on my boyfriend's door until he wakes up and hope that he won't mind driving me the couple of miles to the hospital to see her.
Thankfully, he's almost as close to my best friend as I am, so he was quick to get dressed and drive me down there, but I wasn't expecting him to stay there with us. For the couple of hours that I was there with her though, he never even once let go of my hand, much less leave my side. He kept looking at me and asking
are you alright? ..well, of course I'm alright! I'm not the one in the hospital!
Just know that I'm here for YOU. I love you, he'd whisper.
It was there, that night in the packed hospital, with blood and sickness and chaos all around that I realized just how much I loved him.
I'll be the first to admit that I
thought I had been in love in the past, but looking back, it was nothing like this.
This is ideal.
This is perfect.
He is
EVERYTHING and all that I could ever want.
I'm glad I can pinpoint that very moment - a time when I can recall an actual falling in love.
Do you remember when you fell in love? What made you fall in love with them?
True

AW. <3
When my best friend randomly held my hand and we walked around the
track like that for hours that night...there were candles lining the
track and everything felt right. I also got my first kiss that night. I think I was in love for a while before that, but that was the first time I stopped denying it.
lol aww love ur story :D
i tripped cause of her voice.
i fell cause who she was.i hit the ground cause who she was not.cute story :)
Hehe cute, same here, ex-boy got hurt and needed the emergency room he was being tough and didnt wanna go but i insisted and he really needed to, so i stayed w him that night. During the moment when he was hurt something clicked and I was like wow I love him.
I had been off and on with my current boyfriend for about a year before that, and he always seemed to be there for no matter what the situation. He had been my first kiss, he was the only boy I'd ever had all night phone conversations with until the sun came up. So basically, I had been in the process of falling for him for a while, but I will never forget the night I really fell in love with him. I was dating another guy at the time, but the jerk left me stranded in a neighborhood by our high school at 2am after a football game. I was sitting in the grass beside the school wondering how I was going to get home when my ex and current best friend drove by riding in the passenger's seat of his best friend's car. He made him stop immediately and they offered me a ride home, but first his best friend had to drop his little brother off at his house. Well, when he did that his parents got mad at him for something and told him and my ex that they had to stay home for the night. I took off walking down the street because I was going to walk home, and my ex followed me without a second glance. On the walk back to the school, (where I thought I could call my current boyfriend to come pick me up.) we talked about everything and anything and he confessed that he still had feelings for me. Our conversation was so interesting that I only noticed about halfway through the walk that we had been holding hands the entire time. I have an anxiety disorder and suffer from panic attacks. Well, I started having a panic attack when we were almost to the school because I was worried I wouldn't be able to get home that night. So he offered to kiss me to "calm me down." Of course I saw through his cheesy excuse, but I played a long because I wanted to kiss him too. After we kissed, we were just standing in the street holding each other when I looked down at our shadows on the street caused by the street light. When I saw our shadows in our street, it hit me like a train. Bam. I knew without a doubt that I was in love with him. It just looked so right, us being together. It was like I finally realized that was how it was supposed to be. Something just clicked. Unfortunately, after that when we got back to the school my boyfriend's truck was in the parking lot (even though he was nowhere to be found.) I figured that he'd gone to cheat on me with his ex girlfriend and I opted to wait by his truck until he came back. My ex got extremely mad at this because it wasn't safe and he said that I could stay at his house instead and he'd hide me from his mom. But I was too stubborn, and after a huge fight, I stayed and waited by the truck. My ex was so hurt that I had chosen my boyfriend over him, that we became enemies and didn't speak for 7 months. Finally though, at the end of the school year we got back together and admitted to each other that we had both fallen for each other that night. It's been a year and a half now and we've been together ever since.
The moment I realized I was really in love with J was when we were in his car in my apartment complex parking lot. I was sitting in his lap and he was holding me in the driver's side singing to Johnny Cash songs. It was just.. perfect.
I knew I was going to fall in love with the first boy I fell in love with when I watched him giving a Tarot reading to another acquaintance.
It was more gradual with my boyfriend. I was a little more guarded and much more confused. I'd liked him in the past, but this time, his complete acceptance of me and displays of affection made me fall into the realms of love.
Of course :)
It was when I had an accident and injured my back. When I told him, he insisted me to see a doctor right away but I didn't cause the pain is still bearable. That night, I had to listen to his long lecture bout the spinal cord and whatnot. The next morning, I went to see a doctor but couldn't tell him that I did, I had to rush to my cheer leading practice. He came over, extremely worried, insisted to nurse me and he never left my side.
He was visiting me over the summer. We were making out in my car after seeing a movie. I said, "I'm in love with you." He said, "I've BEEN in love with you."
It was way back in like grade 9, we were both in Geography class & he said something that made me laugh. I looked up at him laughing & he was looking right into my eyes & I swear for a minute I actually lost my breath. I blushed & he asked me what was wrong, but I couldn't answer. A few days later he asked me out, & we were on & off for a while, but we've been going strong for a long time now. That was 3 & a half years ago. I still remember every detail like it was yesterday.
We had only been dating like 4 months. It was spring. He dragged me out on the lawn to play tag. Then, we laid down on the grass and he started rambling on about something...and then he was like "I can't promise that I'll never make a mistake or that I won't ever make you angry, but I can promise you that I will be your rock since you have had to be everyone else's. I'll listen to you. Care for you. Cry for you. Hurt when you hurt. Laugh when you laugh. Smile when you smile. I'll take care to know you. Not who you would like me to know...but the real you, because at the end of the day that is who I love."
Or something like that.
I just remember thinking. Wow. This guy is pretty effing amazing.
When my bf and I started dating, we had an issue with my best friend who was also his ex. It was a very stressful time, and anyone else would have just not dealt with it. One night, we were discussing it, and I was really down about it. He told me "I don't care what happens, I'm not giving up on you." It was then that I knew I was in love with him.
@Chic106@xanga - Still...not..letting go damnit!
Falling in love is a process for me, but I can pinpoint the exact moments when I committed myself to my bf for the rest of my life.
It was the end of our second year at university and I was looking forward to him flying home to spend the summer (we go to school in two different provinces, so we do the long distance thing), but he was quite vague on the issue of flying home. Eventually, he told me that he would not be spending the majority of the summer with me as he was accepted to the military to do training. I was angry at him for not telling me about the whole military thing ahead of time...and we had some heated words. We had a phone conversation where he wasn't an active participant, and I took it as him being cold and not caring. But before he left for training, he sent me an email, and in it he told me his reasons for joining and he also told me that the reason he was so quiet on the phone was because he was crying, and that he was very sorry for hurting me. That was really touching, and that was when I knew he was the guy I wanted to be with.
However, the thing that really sealed the deal was after he got back from military training, we had a talk about him telling me stuff in advance and not hiding things from me. There was a tendency on his part to hide things from me and telling me about them at the absolute last minute. I didn't appreciate it as it seemed like he didn't care about me enough to include me in his plans. He promised me he'd change that for me. He said he wanted to change for me so that he won't hurt me anymore, and that he really wanted to be with me for the rest of our lives, and if that meant changing a behavior that hurts me, he would. That meant a lot to me, and that's when I knew my bf is the man I wanted to commit to for the rest of my life =)
My boyfriend and I had spent a good amount of time together in school and after school. My parents decided to invite him to go see "The Eye" with us. I was still getting ready while he was in my room. I told him I had to change my clothes so he said "okay, I'll turn around". It was the sweetest thing I ever heard. He didn't even try to make a sexual comment about it. I tapped his shoulder when i was done and he turned around and picked me up and the way he looked into my eyes and the way i looked at him, I just knew HE'S THE ONE.
I honestly can't say when exactly I fell in love. I think it was a happening over a period of time, where emotions where hidden and finally came to surface. I can tell you that it was somethime in september though. And I love him more with each day.
I don't remember the exact moment of falling in love. But I was in love with my current boyfriend before we were even dating. I knew when I absolutely loved him when there was a long period of time when he was quite literally the only thought on my mind, & then I saw him & his girlfriend together & I almost died of sadness.
We're together now though.
Love? I'm not sure. It was there before I knew it and stuck around and grew and by the time I realized it it was too big to pinpoint. I'm not even sure when I realized it.
But the first time I gave in to admitting I liked him was when my friends forced me to tell me whom I liked. And I had to admit it to myself at that point.
But I'm not sure when that grew into love.
You know what? Maybe I do.
We went to the amusement park with a group of friends, and his girlfriend wasn't there so we rode the rides together. And we were talking about a dream he'd had, about stargazing with his girlfriend, and she hadn't liked the idea very much, and it made him sad. So we were sitting there counting the stars together, on this spinny amusement park ride. But it was so painfully obvious we liked each other (we were shoved as far away from one another as possible- tension, I say, tension!) that I think that's when I fell in love. I didn't realize it was love, yet, but I think that was the moment.
I fell in love with my boyfriend and love of my life gradually, but when I fully realized how much I really did love him, it was this overwhelming, amazing feeling. I was sitting on the couch next to him watching a movie we'd already seen (for lack of anything else to do), and I was thinking about it-how he felt sitting next to me, his arm wrapped around me, just us alone, and how this was a guy who would jump the first plane across the planet to get to me if I was in trouble or sick or hurt.
So I just turned to him and told him...in an awkward way as I'm wont to do when I try too hard to be blunt and it doesn't work. I thought he didn't understand because he went silent. Our friend came in a second later, so he leaned in and whispered, "If you were trying to tell me that you love me, well, I wanted to say I love you too. So much. Beyond words".
Needless to say, I was speechless.
But I'll love him until the end of time.
aww that sounds perfect! he's a keeper ;)
i guess falling in love was a process for me as well, i can't pick out a specific moment and say "that's when i fell in love with him" but i can definitely say that i am in love. it's the simple things he does that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)
I also once believed I was in love, but its nothing compared to what I have now.
Im not sure the moment I fell in love, but I do know that I started to realize how in love
I was with my boyfriend when no matter the terrible things that would happen in our relationship
I really didnt want any other person. I once sat down and thought it out after a dramatic event happened with another girl who wouldnt leave us alone. Somehow I would rather have bad times with my boyfriend then good times with someone else. Love is beautiful and its a lot more than just hearts skipping beats. Today we celebrated our one year anniversary! Yay!!
