Were you attracted to your partner or husband at first sight?

[ChipsCheeseAndGravey]

I was taking to a friend the other day who was saying how when she met her partner she was taken a back by how handsome he was (can’t say I see if I’m honest but I kept that to myself). It got me thinking - when I first saw my partner I didn’t think he was that attractive. He had and still does have a great face but he had this fucking awful haircut. He had a mullet with a rat tail I shit you not. My original plan was to leave after one drink, but about half way through the first pint I knew he was the one for me, rat tail and all. Now the haircut is a distant memory and we both laugh about it. But I want to know:

Were you attracted to your DP or DH at first sight?

If not, how long before you were physically attracted to them and what changed?

Yes, we'd been messaging, and seemed to have a connection. We met and I though "yes, he's nice" by the end of the day (we spent 5 or 6 hours together sbd hadn't stopped talking.....) I was all in! It was def the full package though rather than looks alone. The magnetic thing applies!

My husband is very fond of telling a story about how a mutual friend introduced us once at lunchtime (we all worked at the same place at the time) and I was very rude and barely acknowledged his existence, and he was gutted because he had liked me from a distance for ages. I have absolutely no memory of this, but it is possible, because if there is one thing I that pisses me off it’s being waylaid when I’m trying to get lunch.

No. Not at all. We became friends first. I later found out that the first time he saw me he told a colleague he was going to marry me (before he'd even spoken a word to me). We've been together almost 25 years.

Just want to bump this thread. I don’t think all couples have an instant ‘love at first sight’ type of attraction. Some do, but not all. Lots of couples who end up together grew to like each other over time.

Not at all but now I think he's absolutely gorgeous and not sure how I missed it at first!
