In college when I was 18. I knew because when I thought of him he made me smile.

The first time I fell in love was the end of my junior year of high school. I've fallen in love since, but this is still the purest though not nearly the simplest.

I first knew when we took a walk. It lasted for about three hours before we even turned around. We speak. Not even one word for six hours. It was still one of the happiest six hours of my life. It felt like we'd talked for twenty years.

I fell in love in high school. I knew because he was my best friend and it felt right. I could tell him everything and anything. We later got married and have been together now for 17 years this Saturday. I think if you are really good friends, your love will just keep growing stonger and stronger.

I'll be the 4rth girl to answer your question? Look forward for men to answer though...

I fall in love when I was 1st yr. high school...my heart beats faster a 100 miles whenever he gives me special attention amongst all the gurls that are attracted to him!!! I always get Christmas card from him with his sweet notes on it. Eventually & naturally became my boyfriend in first year college while he is in the priesthood seminary (might something weird to some). We only date once when I was in 3rd yr. college...very romantic moments but no hugs & kisses at all! I asked him for cool off but he said, our friendship should remain, which it was anyway!
Our friendship was something so special because he is a Roman Catholic and wanting to be a priest while I am a protestant giving him the freedom to be what he's called for in life. After his studies in Rome, he's presently serving as a priest. I'm glad for him for the path he's chosen to serve!

I got married 4 yrs. ago with a foreigner friend I met on the Internet thru a friend of mine he's been chatting first before me.... We knew we're for each other with confirmations we have from our hearts and special friends, family who fasted & prayed for our friendship & marriage relationship! Our love, friendship & marriage relationship growing stronger each day I would say and testify! He's an ideal husband more than I could ask for!

Blessings to your relationship, whoever you fall in love with...may it be an everlasting love that can stand through the test of time!!!

Part of my love life story...

I was eleven and she was ten. Her family stayed overnight at my house one night and she wore these really tight pajamas. I suddenly realized that she was quite different than me. Over the next ten years, she and her family moved in and out of my life. Sometimes we were boyfriend and girlfriend, but not often. I never was physical with her, but I'll always remember that night.

I first fell in love at 19 years of age. I hadn't believed in love before that---then it happened to me. At first it was an emotion...the wanting to be with him, the world seemed brighter, I seemed 'more' when I was around him. But that was all chemistry.

He and I were just dating and then BAM he met somebody else--he fell for. He wasn't' looking, it just happened. I knew it was love when, in spite of the emotional pain this caused me, I sincerely wanted him to be happy...even if that meant with her. I didn't want him with me because he saw and empathized with how gutted I felt. I told him to follow his heart and not to worry about mine. I was in charge of my heart. He did. He's still married to her and she's a great person. Me? Six years later I met another man--who is a bit like my 1st love. So I think my 1st was the proto-type of the wonderful man I love now, who loves me back, and is my husband.

I was not so good at dating. I didn't feel "in love" until I felt like he really reciprocated, which was when we got engaged. I had crushes all my life, but I think I came across needy and no one went for me.

I was 17. I had been kissed before but when this boy I knew suddenly kissed me for the first time I felt my knees go weak and so joyful I could almost hear bells ringing in my head. I have never forgotten that moment.
