I created a similar thread where I asked what made you fall for your partner.It was so lovely reading all the nice things you said about your partners.
So now I thought it would be nice for your partner to tell you what made them fall in love with you!

I was defiantly single...he liked the challenge.
I was kind and compassionate. He admired that.
Liking animals and having many pets helped his perception.
I had a bad accident and he saw me go through many operations, appointments and tough times. I worried he would leave in frustration. He says it made him know he loved me.
He also says I gave him time and space to decide the relationship was right for him...rather than pushing to be 'official' or living together quickly.

My dp says he initially liked me for my intelligence and how I stood out from others but he says the moment he knew he loved me was seeing what a great mother I am with my dc.
Sadly he met me at my lowest, I'm going through a nasty divorce and the poor man has had to put up so much pain and my low self esteem and yet he still fell in love with me. I am so very lucky x

Apparently I'm fiesty, defiant, and difficult.

Straight from the horse's mouth as a man, it has always been intelligence, independence of mind and a certain mental and physical toughness that got my notice.

And given that three weeks before my wife died of ovarian cancer this year she was still working shifts in a physical job, I reckon that covers the last nicely.

You could see her independence of thought in the way she never felt the need to fit in with societal norms. In the early years I would notice how she didn't feel the need to fit in with fashion, wear makeup etc. Latterly it was the way in which she didn't do things like social media or mobile phones as she saw them as a curse not a blessing. But always it was her way, not what society pushed her into.

As for the first, well we met when she was studying for her masters, then afterwards her PhD.

So I reckon I managed to tick my boxes...
