Was it love at 1st sight? Was it simply physical? Did it take a while?

Well for me, we met online & his profile was interesting. The physical attraction was there. However, when we met; we hit it off. But after a couple of conversations, I wasn't so sure. I felt that he wasn't "my type". So after evaluating myself, I realized that "my type" wasn't working for me. So I took a leap of faith and gave the relationship a chance. I'm so happy & feel so blessed that I did. So what's your love story?

    We met online first. He was definitely cute but a total opposite of me lol. At that moment we were in two different worlds and it was better for us to just remain friends but as the years went by he never gave up. It was pretty much the way his friendship and the way he cared about me and my son regardless of us just being friends. He always treated my son as his and always said that he wouldnt stop until I was his finally our worlds aligned together and he we are. Plus it didnt help that he was super sexy and attractive!!

    We met at work (a high school) - it was my first year teaching and he was there in a security position while looking for other things.

    I noticed his build; I like the bulky, athletic, clean-cut type Smiley smile We both really knew from our first conversation (we ended up talking for over an hour) that there was just something "special" about the other. We went on our first date 3 days later and have been together ever since! Our whole relationship has really just been easy, its like we fell into step right away.

    That is great! First time I met my FH I was in 8th Grade and was currently dating someone long distance. I thought he was strange and kind of emo lol. He talked to no one and he got made fun of a ton for being different. Maybe not made fun of, but he was definitely who everyone talked about when we mentioned weird kids. I became best friends with his sisters and then when I was about in 11th grade his sisters told me he had a crush on me. One day I got a text from an unknown number and it happened to be him and at first I was like that is so strange. We kept talking though and I found out he was even weirder then I thought. He was brought up a lot differently from me and it made me curious. I was attracted to his weirdness haha. It was just so different from what I was use too and I wanted to do all those things too. I looked up to him a lot and wanted to have a life like that. So in a way he was more of a role model for me and then after a while it happened. He wanted to date from the start but I still had my other relationship. Even though we would fight and we had a ton of differences, that is what I loved and what I chose! May not of made sense but it worked out!

    Although we told a different story to our families, (shame on us, but that's a LONG story) we actually met on Craigslist. I went running for the hills at first because he was a virgin. I wasn't ready to jump into anything super serious at first so him being a virgin and never having a serious girlfriend scared me!

    We continued to talk daily though, and when we met for the first time, I was so impressed! He was a complete gentleman, talked politely, and got along well with my parents instantly.

    We met back in HS and ran within the same group of friends. I never saw him as a "person of interest" lol. After high school we reconnected on fb years later and began talking which led to hanging out. What attracted me to him is his humor, green eyes and kind heart ♥

    Met him at church. My relationship with God is very important to me and as silly as it sounds... first thing that attracted me to him is how beautiful he looks when he prays. I know it's not about how you look when you pray, but I remember seeing him kneeling before Mass as I was waiting for it to start and the power, serenity, and intensity of his prayer was just beautiful to me. Later on of course I found out that 1. he's attractive when not praying too and 2. He has a great sense of humor

    We met at a lacrosse game (he plays, I am a scorekeeper). He got injured so he had to sit out the rest of the game, so he has taken off his helmet/gear (you can't really see their faces in those big helmets so even though I worked with the team for a year, I often didn't know what most of the players looked like). He changed into normal clothes and sat behind me in the stands (I wasn't scorekeeping this particular game). My friend's mom who was there with me said he kept looking at me. I was like, pssh whatever, yeah right.

    I looked over and my first though was that his arms were literally going to rip his t-shirt off. Hahahaha. I was like... daaayum. Fast forward a few weeks, and he starts talking to me, we went on a few dates and it was like "Yep"! Apparently he had been crushing on me for awhile after seeing me at the games., but was too shy to say anything before. So yeah since then we've been inseparable.

    I was in a controlling and abusive relationship. He had banned me from seeing my family and friends. So I would often take our dog and go for walks and sneak off and meet up with my friends. They hated my ex and were always trying to set me up with their friend. Finally I got enough urge to leave my ex (may have had something to do with when my dad went into the hospital for a heart attack and my ex didn't want me to go). I moved out and threw myself in to life with friends and family. My friends took it upon themselves to always invite me over, and then mysteriously disappear leaving me and FH alone in a room. I told FH I didn't want a relationship right now since I just got out of one that wasn't good. He told me "I will wait until you are ready."

    Sure enough he did. We became even better friends and started dating. We've spent everyday (with the exception of a week I flew out of state to a funeral) together, and I wouldn't change it for the world. We've been together almost 3 years now, we've known eachother for 5. Smiley smile

    Hott. Funny. And kind of a dick.

    Fell head over heels Smiley winking

    Seriously though, the day we met we talked for about 7 hours. We just connected perfectly.

    We met 5 years ago in a bar in Cambodia. I'm Australian, he's British. We talked all night but I was leaving to fly home the next day. I woke up to find he'd slid a note under the door with his email address. I emailed him when I got home and that's all we did for two years - wrote to each other about our lives on opposite sides of the world. Then I asked him to meet me on a diving expedition to the Seychelles off the coast of Africa. He met me in Dubai Airport and we were both so nervous. But it was perfect and for two more years we met each other all around the world - Mozambique, Iceland, Indonesia, New Zealand.

    Then last September his visa to migrate to Australia came through and he moved here. We married in the UK 6 months ago. It wasn't always easy learning to live together as a 'normal couple' but I wouldn't trade the last 5 years for anything Smiley smile

    My FH and I met online at well. We had great conversations by phone and he was very understanding that I really did not have much time for him when we first met (I had just had surgery and my mom's health took a very sudden turn for the worst). I'm not sure what it was about him that I liked so much. He brought flowers to our first date-which I have always found cheesy, and he talked a lot on our first date, but there was just something about him that I was really drawn to then and now. Maybe it was that he is a cat-lover like me, and most men I have met are not. Smiley smile

    His voice. We met on a phone dating line....way before the match.com/eharmony sites hit the scene. He left me a voicemail and I absolutely HAD to call him back. We spoke on the phone every day for nearly 3 weeks before we actually met. That day was quite nerve-racking as you can imagine, because so often the voice doesn't match the rest of them. But it did, he was this big hot lumberjack. Haha

    My FH and I met online and it was lust at first sight lol ! We had our first date officially shortly after and I knew I wanted to be with him. It was this chemistry, how he makes me laugh, smile etc. After 2 months he said I love you and the rest is history! I think what I love most is his genuine good heart. He sacrifices a lot for other people and truly has no idea how amazing he is! Plus he's hilarious and even in my worst moods, the funny things he says turns my whole mood around(I'm not in a bad mood too often ). I think it's also his charm and that 4 yrs later I still get butterflies

    FH and I met in college. We had a few classes together but we did not share the same social circle and we did not have the same major. He was too nervous to talk to me in class so he started sending me FB messages. He actually typed quite well with proper spelling and punctuation. This is honestly the ONLY reason why I responded to him. Once I found out who he was I was skeptical (he was a baseball player and I was a huge nerd) but he was very genuine and sincere. We actually were friends for almost a year and a half before we started dating.

    I'll admit, I wasn't looking for a relationship, so when I saw his Audi A5, I knew he could show me a good time. Which he did, but he also made me laugh and was/is always there for me and so it wasn't hard to fall in love with the guy! He doesn't have the A5 anymore, but I still love him!! Smiley smile

    We met in college, and my first impression was that he was at least cuter than his friends. He asked for a hug at some point that night, which I gave him, and promptly told him he was extremely sweaty. So, it was pretty much love at first sight!
