I met my husband when I was a junior in college-he was a freshman. At the time, I thought he was really cute, but I remembered how much I grew up during my freshman year, so I didn't act on my feelings and instead just became his friend. He and I got along wonderfully, and about a year later, we realized we both wanted to be more than just friends. That's how it all began.
I don't think there was ever a moment when I "knew" it was love. I had loved him as my friend for so long that it was natural to love him romantically too, once we were at liberty to do so. But I knew that I wanted to share my life with him during the first year we dated.
