OT- ok family, serious off topic question here...

I agree with Linda.  Don't worry about tomorrow until tomorrow.  Have FUN!  Let what will happen happen as it should.  I also agree that you will know without a doubt when it he is the one.  Maybe that is now, maybe that is later, but being your best friend before a romance definately speeds up the process, because there were already feelings of a different type of love there. Life is too short to live with regret.  Live each day like it is your last.

Hello my fellow April 2004 friend!   I've been off board for awhile - so I didn't know about your most recent boyfriend - or the one before him.  Last I knew you were bouncing the live-in to the curb.  I knew Francesca was the one the moment I saw her - but apparently I was wrong.   Happy is a good thing however - and loving and being loved makes life interesting - in all senses of the word.   I hope you remain happy all the days of your life dear friend.  With love, ~Lara

I knew my ex husband for 10+ years before we married...we were married 9 years

I met my current husband online, we were together - long-distance relationship - for just over one year before I moved here and we married....we've been married 10 years....

I knew my current husband way better in just a few months of getting together than I ever knew my ex in our 20+years of knowing each other

and I KNEW in my heart the first time my current hubby and I kissed......I just knew....

I think....you just know

hang in there - you'll figure it out

I do advise you to take it slow though...even when I *KNEW* I still waited a few months before moving here and almost  a year to marry :)
