A comment in the NRJ thread has caused me to ask this question. I think guys tend to be more measured with their emotions, but let's see what the poll results say.

How quickly did you fall in love with your wife/SO? (1 Viewer)

Yeah, I don't know if it was that amazing fireworks going off type love, but I knew if I dated my wife, we would stay together forever. That was one of the primary reasons I dated whores in high school and shortly thereafter, because I knew, once I went down the dating road with my wife, there was no turning back.
She chased me pretty hard in high school. I worked as a cook/meat cutter during high school and her family would come in all the time and I would cook for them. She would put notes and flowers on my car all the time, which used to seriously irk any girls I was dating.
One night in high school when I was between girlfriends, I saw her at a party and she needed a ride home. So as I am leaving her house, she yells for me to call her when I got home because she wanted to go out sometime. At the time, I just didn't hear her correctly and I didn't call her. The next week I met this terrible, terrible girl who just literally put me through hell financially and emotionally for over a year--the girl literally ran me over with her car--yeah--that actually happened. I look back on that night and if I would have called my now wife, I would have been spared all that pain and financial woe. As I came through all that mess (I was like 19), I looked up my wife's phone number from the yearbook and we went out and have been together for 27 years. She still reminds me of what could have been had I only called that one fateful night.

I was only 16 at the time so I can't say what was actually love vs immense hornyness. I will say that no women ever came close to giving me butterflies in my stomach like she did/does.

Pretty much instaneously. Engaged within two months of dating (we were very young). Got married ten years later. About to celebrate ten years of "togetherness" next week. Pretty awesome.

The night I met her, I told her that I was in trouble. When she asked why, I said 'ask me again when you're around in 6 months'
6 months later, I looked down into the pit in my basement and said 'told you so'

This part, same.
We met in September, at first I was more interested in her friend but she was engaged. Over the next few months that friend found ways to get us all together (mostly me buying them alcohol). By around November I kind of knew and stopped dating around. By December we hooked up, our first real date was new year's eve when her mom dropped her off at my apartment. I had to agree to meet her parents and then 10yo sister for their traditional new years breakfast. You'd think her dad would try to scare me but he was actually decent - quiet, but all things considered, decent. Her sister asked when we were getting married, and I think I replied "we aren't sure yet" - but we both knew it would happen.
After our first date, I called my mother and said I think I've met the woman for me. But is that love? It was more that we got along great, had a genuine connection and that I could tell she was a good person and someone I could respect. Three and a half years later, we have yet to even raise our voices at each other.

I just exchanged "I love yous" last night for the first time with a girl I've been dating for exactly one month. Easily the fastest I've ever said it, and I've been feeling it since the very beginning. I'm so smitten right now. I'm glad to see that the vast majority seemed to have known within the first month.

Absolutely at first sight. I had moved from a job two states away. My boss brought me into the office on my first day and the girl at the front desk said hi. I spent the next 10 minutes in my boss's office learning about all the things a new guy has to learn but all I could think about was the girl at the front desk. I grilled the boss about her and found out she was engaged. I left to go move into my apartment crushed that I had missed out on her.
We became friends and then she broke up with her fiancé. The rest is history.
Later I found out from my boss that the minute I left on that first day, she was in his office grilling him about me!
We've been married 24 years.

I guess I already knew my wife to be for about a year through work and a common group of friends before we actually went on a "date". She said the "I love you" after the first time we had sex. I think that was our 3rd date. I did not reciprocate until about 2 months later. In hindsight, I knew she was the one, but wasn't ready to commit to those words. We just celebrated our 17th anniversary.

I said it last week to a girl I've been dating less than a month. I'm surprised by the poll results, but I guess if it's the one, you know pretty quickly.
