Men of reddit- Who made you finally know what love is/want to commit? When did you realise you love someone?

1. When I first saw her

2. Love is something new everyday.

3. I knew I was going to marry her after the second date. That was 18 years ago. Now she keeps saying things like “get away from my window” and “I’m calling the cops”, but I know she’s gonna say yes to me any day now.

4. I had to come up with an answer when some foreigner asked me that question.

5. The song “I wanna know what love is” by Foreigner

6. Love and commitment are very different things, and I’d suggest most of us know what love is from a very young age.

7. When she made me realize that I could love myself as well.

8. Are you a Foreigner?

9. At the time I believed love was a farce, even after a 10 year relationship(oops). I met someone who made me feel a way that i’ve never felt before, I wanted her to be happy, was no longer doing things purely for myself, she became the priority, and it was amazing.

   Then she ended up doing something to me that was absolutely horrible, the worst thing anyones ever done to me, essentially I got ‘amber Hearded’. It was then I realized that I didn’t love her, but rather the idea of who I thought she was, but the feelings I had before were still real. Fortunately, I had enough perspective and support throughout the situation, and I was able to get through it stronger than ever.

   Somehow, thanks to her, I now believe in love. Still waiting for that right person, but at least I know what i’m waiting for now….life is strange 🤷‍♂️.

10. When she licked my balls

11. We met late in high school. I went to an all-male Catholic school, she to public school. We were friends for a while, but I had a little thing for her. Our first date happened almost by accident at a basketball game and dance at my school. She was there with friends, I asked her to dance, we kissed, went out again the next day, and we were hooked.

    We drifted apart during college years, but despite dating others, she had this pull on my brain. We reunited, both realized we wanted to be together and we did just that.

    That all started in 1973 at that high school event. We married in ’79, and we’re still going strong today. There was no one reason this happened and I doubt either one of us could define any specific reason why we realized it. We just did.

    And it gets better every day. Trust me, true love is possible.

12. Love is something that happens to other people.
