• Shortly after we met she invited me over to her apartment. I came by, and we talked from about 9 PM till 1 AM. It was the most fun I’d ever had without actually doing anything. DrewBaron80 / Reddit

• I have been super sick lately, and I’m almost seven months pregnant. I asked my husband to braid my hair the other night because I’ve been so exhausted. I expected him to just do a regular braid like usual, but he opened up his computer and looked up a French braid YouTube tutorial.
  He brushed my hair a bunch (he knows I love my hair being brushed), and braided my hair. He had to redo it a couple of times, but it was so sweet. We are having a baby girl, and he said he wanted to learn how to do hair better, so he can do mine and our girl’s. calgon90 / Reddit

• Every time he interacts with our pets. He is so caring, gentle and patient. Makes me want to have kids with him lol. sudomakemelunch / Reddit

• Belly crying into my husband’s chest after another negative pregnancy test (2 years of trying for a baby) and we were so sure I was pregnant. There is an unspoken closeness when you can be free with your partner, and they don’t judge or control the situation. stagney / Reddit

• It was our first anniversary, and he gave me a huge bag of colorful socks as a gift. I started sobbing. I had been talking about needing socks for weeks, and he had been listening the whole time. He’s a great person. CatVanBoozle / Reddit

• A month into the relationship I decided to surprise him at his house on a Friday evening after work. We had plans to meet up on Saturday, but I couldn’t wait. Keep in mind, we lived three hours apart. I was halfway to his city when my roommate called and said he had shown up at our house in an effort to surprise me too.
  I knew right then that he was something special. We got married a few years later, and we often joke that we’re the same person — one Christmas we got each other the same gift, we finish each other’s puns, we’ll stop at the store on the way home (separately) and pick up the same cookies. It’s the best. johnske01 / Reddit

• As a man, I was able to cry on her shoulder and let out my feelings. She didn’t judge and she was always there. That’s how I knew. pianoaddict772 / Reddit

• I had been having such a terrible week that, unbeknownst to me, he had spoken to his boss and taken the afternoon off work. He drove three hours out of his way just to come and give me a hug. We had dinner together, and then he had to drive home. I was so overwhelmed by how thoughtful it was I cried. I knew from that day that I wanted to marry him. brunettescatterbrain / Reddit

• I get reminded of the fact that neither of us is going anywhere often. Most recently, tho, I came home from work to a hot bath with a bath bomb, a candle lit, tacos, and a bowl packed *AND* he did all the laundry. RobotDeathQueen / Reddit

• I didn’t feel exhausted after eight hours in her presence, and it took me two weeks to notice she had practically moved in. I noticed when she wasn’t there for a night. callmegecko / Reddit

• When he was waiting for me in a crowd and I scanned everyone trying to find him. I saw him before he saw me. When he finally spotted me, there was a look of pure love and excitement on his face. It made me realize that people search their entire lives for someone to look at them that way. Andromeda321 / Reddit

• When he drove over an hour one night after work to come see me because my dog died. And brought me ice cream and coffee. He had to get up at 5 am to drive an hour back to work the following morning. Even after I told him he didn’t have to come over because of that reason. Mischiefandmagic / Reddit

• At the end of our first date, she shook my hand at her door. As I walked to my car I was telling myself, ’’Way to go, you messed it up.’’ We worked together, and she came up and apologized to me the next day, saying she hadn’t been on a date in a while and didn’t really know how to end the date. That was when I knew.
  We actually came up with our own handshake that we even did at our wedding. It’s been 16 years and not a day goes by that I don’t remind myself how lucky I am to have met her. Unknown user / Reddit

If you haven’t found your ideal partner yet, don’t give up hope. It’s often said that true love has a funny way of finding us when we least expect it. So, keep an open mind and stay optimistic because you never know when true love might come knocking on your door.
