When you first met

His sense of humour. He is still one of the funniest people I've ever met. That, coupled with the fact that he has treated me like a queen since our first date, is the reason the poor bugger hasn't managed to get rid of me for over 20 years.

He's kind and good, and keeps me grounded. 30 years and it just keeps on getting better and better.

We had been an item for around 4 months when I came down with norovirus, he held me while I was throwing up into a bucket and shitting my pants. That's love that is

Also he never fails to make me laugh.

My OH is very kind and caring and has a great sense of humour.

We have been together over 5 years and he makes me feel happy every day.

His extraordinary intelligence and the fact he was so laid-back and non-judgemental - nothing fazes him at all. I didn't actually like his sense of humour when we met - it was all very mild and he kept back his best jokes for fear of offending me, but once we got to know each other we realised our offbeat humour was more in tune.

Watching him meet a group of people he didn't know and who were very different from his friends- they mocked him and he laughed with them and within minutes he had everyone howling with laughter

Ha! The same things that I DO NOT like now!

We also met online. I liked his reliability, happiness to make me the centre of his world,drove me everywhere & he was handy at diy. I'd had my fill of exciting passionate roller coaster relationships.
We've been together 10 years.
These days he rarely does diy,is hideously unsociable. What I thought was right was perhaps just settling. Harsh but true.

Blind date. He made me laugh so much on our first date that my cheeks hurt all the next day.

We were friends for years and he was always the "funny man". He's also very kind but he stands his ground when necessary.

He's easy going, honest and funny - even after 23 years together he makes me laugh out loud on a regular basis
(I must remember this when he's being really annoying - which he also does on a regular basis!)

We were at a party. He was having more fun than anyone else in the room. I thought, I want to play with him.

Very generous, very dry sense of humour (which has somewhat evolved into dad humour!). Very good in a crisis. He's also extremely good at his job and people really like and respect him which I love to see

He's really funny, he's really fair, he can do just about anything, he's patient, he's kind, he's very beautiful and I can tell him anything.

His eyes first, but upon 5 minutes of chatting to him, that was it. He was and still is the funniest person I have ever met. Maybe not to everyone, but we have the same sense of humour. Sometimes its a bit dark and there are things we say to each other that we think are funny, but wouldn't dare say to anyone else

he is my best friend and I love him so much.

I am very short as is my OH. When I met him, he as a with a very tall friend.
I commented on this and he told be 'he was the economy size'. He has been making me laugh ever since. Soon we will be celebrating our Golden Weddding Anniversary. So I would say it was his sense of humour.

We met in a pub. We were drunk.He had kind eyes. He was the most interesting person I had ever met. He liked the same music as me. He was respectful of me, he walked me home in the rain. He bought me a drink. I figured if he'd bought me a drink when he didn't know me he'd be generous when we had dcs and I wasn't working.
He taught me what love and compassion is. I couldn't bare to be without him.

I shagged him anyway and the rest is history.

Which I believe was in 'Jane Eyre' until Charlotte Brontë's editor made her change it to 'Reader, I married him'

I met my DH at the lowest point in my life. I had just lost a member of my family in very sudden and traumatic circumstances and was recovering from an Eating Disorder. I was a mess to be honest. The last thing I was looking for was a relationship but when I met DH (through a mutual friend) he was like a ray of sunshine. Not only was he the kindest, funniest man I had ever met but he was also strong enough that he wasn't even remotely phased by all my (considerable, at that time) baggage and that made me feel like maybe I could be strong too. I loved the fact that he was confident without being at all arrogant and that he has this way of putting people at ease without even trying. I also loved that with DH there was no game playing, no uncertainty or wondering where I stood because he's so open and honest and unafraid of his own feelings. If loves someone he'll tell them and show them at every opportunity.

I probably don't tell him enough these days, but not a day goes by when I don't wonder what I did to deserve him.

I'm going to go and tell him now

This is so lovely!

Epic thread!

We met at college ten years ago, my best friend told me about this guy she liked in her English class, he came through the door and she pointed him out. We got close through her pursuing him!

Fell in love with his conversation, his wit, and he's such a gentlemen, I trust him with everything

I have to be honest, the first thing that attracted me was his slim gym butt on top of an excellent pair of long legs while he had his back against me trying to open his door on the room opposite. (He was sharing a flat with my BFF during uni).
He turned out to be a beautiful person inside and outside.
I come from a country of pampered mummy's boys so meeting a true English gentleman who was reliable, independent and thought was amazing.
20 years later, I still think the world of him.

Nothing. I tried to bar him from the pub I was working in took me 6yrs to give in to his unfailing kindness, wit and charm

There's no artfulness to him, he didn't play games- he just liked me and that was that. He's quietly confident but not arrogant, just comfortable in his own skin. And so easy to talk to about anything and everything.
