What was your first impression of your OH?

[BiggyJ]

Mine was - what an absolute pillock!
We were on a works do in NYC.
Not the same company.
He was buying rounds like he was old Rockefeller 🙄
Turns out he was the company accounts holder.
This was coming up to 30 years ago now.

He was the lead singer in a band who were rehearsing in the local village hall.

I walked in just as they started playing Wild Thing.
I thought "I want to marry that boy."
I did. 42 years later he's still making my heart sing.

That he was the nicest person I'd ever met.

I though he looked kind, and Scottish.

He is very kind but not even a bit Scottish.

He was really thin and needed taking care of.
And had awful taste in jumpers.

Very smiley!

He was a cute little nerd with a lot of humble confidence. He was a boss without being bossy (we met at work). He respected the women around him when others didn’t.

That his profile picture on the app doesn’t match his real looks. His picture was way worse and I was surprised.

He was 8 years older than me, he was mates with my neighbour, who was having a party, I was absolutely smashed, he told me I was an embarrassment, but kindly ordered me a taxi 🤣

We bumped into each other 2 months later, I was fortunately sober…. The rest is history’.

I awwed at all your stories but then I got to @LML1989AL which made me laugh 😂

Tall, dark and handsome 😀

That he had terrible fashion sense but was very witty and easy to talk to.

My first impression was good lord he is handsome, he smiled at me and I turned to goo. I feel lucky every day that we are together ❤️

He seemed really genuine and kind. Not at all showy offy or arrogant. Which I love.
nothing seemed to phase him.
He also was besotted by me and so that shortly ended up being reflected back :)

He was grumpy and wearing a pink shirt (that was pretty bold mid nineties) so I was unimpressed. Then he smiled at me ❤️

That he was very helpful and knew a lot about cameras (this was in 1984, so pre Smart phones).

Phwoar! Floppy dark hair, beautiful blue eyes, sexy smile, shy.

Thought he looked like a scruffy indie boy… which was just my type

I was attracted to his eyes, so brown and deep.

I thought he was kind and nice and I liked that he spoke to me and listened to me like an equal. And he had kind eyes.

Nice teeth

He looked like a hippy! Holes in his jeans, bare footed, needed a hair cut but he was reading a book which I liked!

We were students. He was drunk. As was I probably. He had a hideous shirt on from Stockport market. 35 years later he still has it!

We talked about rock music when we met (in a pub, he was a peripheral acquaintance of my sister) and he was wearing leather, so I had him down as an ageing rocker type, probably without many interests outside rock music, motorbikes etc. I liked him anyway, so agreed to meet him the next day. I was very pleasantly surprised to find him successfully completing a crossword while waiting for me and to discover we had a mutual interest in railways! He had kept his geeky side hidden, but I am an arch-geek myself so I was delighted to uncover it.

That
a) He was very tall.
b) He fancied me
c) I'd rather like to kiss him

29 years later and we're still going strong.

A bit cocky. Absolutely whip-smart. Terrible dress sense.

We’ve been together 27 years so it obviously didn’t put me off that much! (And he dresses much better these days!)
