7 SIGNS THAT’LL LET YOU KNOW HE IS THE ONE

Don’t let yesterdays post fool you. Before anyone starts thinking I was indicating that it was writing about my own life, I wasn’t. Why? Because I did a bunch of field work before bumping into my Mr. Right. From the moment I saw him, I knew. Well, maybe not immediately, but as soon as he grabbed my hand while we were watching a musical I knew: this is it.

1. Always call

With other guys I would always patiently calculate when and if I could call them. Let it bleed for a while on the first day, and then another until I occasionally rewarded them with a text a few days later. But in this case I would call him whenever I wanted to. As would he. Resulting in the both our lines always being busy because we continuously had the other on the other end of the line.

2. Never split

People who are anal (for lack of a better word) about their money are never keepers, but when you’re still in the early stages, then it’s completely normal to switch up who pays when. If the relationship is solid, it won’t ever be an issue. A friend of mine used to date a man who had the balls to send her a text that she still owed him €3,50. With my guy, I put my debit card into his wallet without hesitation. When he ran out of money, we’d plunder my account, and vice versa.

3. Meet the parents

I had had an interview with Sacha Baron Cohen in London and my love picked me up at the airport afterwards. I still remember exactly what he was wearing. My parents were staying at my apartment at the time and we had decided to book a hotel room for the two of us but I had to drop by my place first for some clean clothes. I overheard him call the hotel to reserve a room for us and said we’d be there in roughly an hour and a half although heading to my apartment really wouldn’t take more than five minutes. He wanted to meet my parents. Which only accentuated what I already knew; he is the one.

4. Holidays are a must

When you are head over heels in love and happy, you don’t even have to question whether you should book a holiday together. The only questions you should be asking is when and where.

5. Nightly visits

Even if the two of us had planned nights out separately, the party always ended with each other. Even if it meant we had to spend insane amounts of cash on a cab.

6. Tell each other everything

Sessions until six in the morning just to make sure there is no one on the planet that knows you better than he does.

7. Don’t do things behind the others back

With previous boyfriends I always concealed my smoking habits. With this rare form of a specimen I could easily light up a cigarette at eight in the morning. Don’t worry, I’ve annexed the bad habit. But never was I judged for my actions. And every day I think to myself: you are the most wonderful man in my life. Something I already knew back then during that utterly boring musical.
