When did you know that you had fallen in love with your partner? Was it instant when you saw them? Did you realise it after a while of being apart? Was it after years of goofiness? I’d love to hear your stories.

P.S. I think I may have tripped and fallen in love, I fear. I have told someone I loved them before but it didn’t feel like this. This love is patient, kind… you know the rest. I’m just curious to know what sealed the deal for others. Hopefully I can then pluck up the courage to vocalise how I feel.

Edit: I’ve loved reading the experiences you’ve shared so I wanted to share mine!

I met this man in an airport while waiting to board my flight. At this time everyone was still wearing masks (covid) but we locked eyes when I bought something and there was an immediate spark. I wanted an excuse to see him again so I went back and bought something again LOL. It worked well for me because he gave me his number :)

We stayed in touch over the years, had a few failed meet-up attempts but finally got to see each other again earlier this year. We spent a few uninterrupted days together and it was just… bliss, I believe they call it :’) I feel like a child when I’m held by him. He makes me feel light and airy. Giddy. I don’t think about my insecurities when I’m with him. Two different cultures but he’s open to learning more about me as I am with him. A message from him quite literally lights up my day. In the days we spent together, I remember the long gazes we’d share. Stare into your soul type of gaze. With him though, I wasn’t afraid. I want to open myself up to him. That’s when I knew. Heck, maybe even from the first time we locked eyes all those years ago, I knew he was someone special even though I knew nothing about him. So grateful for those eyes and can’t wait to see them again.

There’s a short version :’) <3
