The first few weeks of your relationship with your partner - what was it like?

[WandaWomblesaurus]

This is a bit like the lovely thread where people are talking about how they met their partners - so this one is about what happened over the first few weeks?

Mine was that we met in a bookshop and then suddenly kept bumping into each other randomly over the next two weeks despite living in different towns until finally we just laughed and went for a coffee. He held my hand almost constantly on the next two dates. I think this was one of the signs where I felt he was someone who wanted to take care of me and he was very reassuring.

Quite intense really but it was the situation we found ourselves in. We were housemates so we were living together from day 1. It was lovely in a way because although not normal it erased some of the angst you sometimes get in the early days like “is he going to call” because, well he’s literally in the next room so…

Feeling so insecure. does he like me? Do i like him. he was sickeningly sweet and i was constantly self-councious. but then we both relaxed into ourselves. much prefer our relationship now than those first few weeks.

Lots of sex , long walks in the parks/ on the beach , nice meals out, lots of chocolates, lots of candle lit movies on the sofa.
To be fair 4 kids later and we do still do the above just not as much! 🤣😅

Sorry... missed whole point of thread. 😅😴

Friends for 10 years prior to becoming a couple. Just kind of happened.

I bought a flat and ended up marrying the man upstairs.

When we met he'd just started a new job working six shifts over five days (sometimes with just eight hours between a shift). We did have fun going for walks, meals and days out etc, but that wasn't always possible. Sometimes we'd have an hour or so between me finishing work/him going to work so I'd come in and cook our tea (limited choices as I only had a microwave). I didn't have much furniture, so he'd come down the stairs with his coffee table to put our glasses on!

Known each other years but first two weeks of dating proper, after a stand-alone meal months earlier, were: meal, dog walk and a drink, another walk and a drink, then sex on the fourth date. All getting increasingly close and flirtatious and lots of ‘how has it taken us this long to do this?And years later, we continue to be surprised that we were there under each other’s noses for over 20 years without any inkling that there was all this happiness and laughter and joy and love (and sex) waiting for us.

I knew my DH for about 5 months before we got together. It went pretty quickly from going out for a drink to him staying at mine or me staying at his all the time. It felt like we’d been together forever even though it had only been a few weeks. It was comfortable and I felt safe. I knew I loved him very early in our relationship. We were at uni and in the same social group so we carried on life as normal but sleeping together instead. Not much sleeping though and DD1 was conceived within the first 3 months of our relationship. 😬😂 Worked out well though. 10 years later and we’re expecting DC3. Still feels like we’ve been together forever and I love how comfortable we are together.
