how many of you have/had the WOW factor?

[davidtennantsmistress]

when you met your DH/DP?

I never had it with XH just went along with the flow.

but now we've split up, & i'm thinking well actually is there one person who makes you think 'WOW' every time you see them - not just in looks but everything the whole lot.

or am I just being a pre AF gushy hormonal woman cos westlife was just on the telly singing us against the world??

Oh I did with DH. It was very very odd and unexpected. It was absolute head of heels smittenness at first sight for both of us. We were 19, and we moved in together (into his Hall of residence lol) within about three days of shagging meeting, and decided to get married about a week later. (We didn;t actually get married til we could afford it, about 6 years later lol).

oh you are so lucky! that sounds amazing! i want that kind of romance someday...

well, i did have that feeling before, with dds dad, but we broke up after five years . but i'm looking forward to experiencing it again!

Yes, but it was a total nightmare. Not sure I think it's the right thing for me...

Yes, total smittenness the moment we met. He was 19 I was 22 and we're still together 20 years on. BUT - it doesn't last unless you really work hard at being good to each other !

LV - that sounds so cool.

I don't think i've ever had it with anyone

LarryVeest and Janni - get out of my head lol. You're describing me and DH. Met at Uni, he was 18, I was a sophisticated 20. Fancied the pants off eachother, moved in together, 20 plus years later still going strong. But you're so right janni - it's not all just luck. The initial WOW is a stroke of good fortune - but building a life together requires a lot more.

Nope. Slow build up, but then a fairly intense period after that. Few glowing embers there still but pretty much extinguished by toddler & baby & full-time job!

Met DH but was getting over an intense breakup so tried hard to ignore him. Then found out he worked opposite the end of my stret so had to avoid him/walk past him most days.....

Major Wowness. Just loved every word he said, he is sooooooooooooooooo sexy.

SHocks me really. Get really excited when I know he's due from work and reeeeeeeeeeeeeally enjoy watching him get naked eeeeeeeeeeeeeverynight (tmi? sorry) YIPPEEE!!!!

Hard with a baby but we were chatting the other night about how similar it is to when we lived apart while I was teacher training. We couldn't see each other privately much so we learnt to talk and relate in short bursts and enjoy any extra time as much as possible.

Laos I think fnding somone funny after years together must be a good thing.

he must have the patience of a saint too....

oh yes, definitely. most definitely.
nowadays i don't think wow every single time i see him but if we're away from each other all day i get all excited about seeing him again. (we both work from home, obv).

ilovewashingnappies.... Wow! That sounds soooo fab! How long have you been together (just being nosy)... yr r/ship sounds idyllic!

iln -yes that's what I want!!!! sounds fantastic! instead I have an x who was well - an idiot/manipulative, controlling and verbally/emotionally abusive, and NG well, he was showing signs of being the same so he's packed off now.

i'd met dh with mutual friends a few times over coffees, in the pub etc. Then one night i was standing waiting outside the phone box (those were the days) when he walked by with his mate and we had a quick chat. As he went off into the distance i found myself out of the blue thinking 'THAT is the man i want to live with forever'. The next time we were chatting i made a joke and he replied (in jest) i love you, i want to have your babies. little did he know, i absolutely utterly took it seriously. 21 years later....i wouldn't say there's much WOW but there's a huge amount of trust, comfort, everyday happiness. i'm very lucky.

Yes, I had this. I was set up without my knowledge to meet a guy at a party who worked with my BF. I was introduced to him and spent the rest of the evening totally engrossed. On the way home (alone) my BF asked me what I thought of him. I answered "I'm going to marry him and have his babies". She thought I was joking. 14 years later......we are extremely happy, luckily he felt the same way!

Not me, never on first meeting someone. My current relationship (the best I have ever had but I have only had 2 serious relationships ) was a slow burner. The day we first kissed was 'WOW' but I was in a tricky situation and had to exit myself from a very long unhappy relationship so there were loads of difficult issues. 18 months later I still feel WOW, but I don't belileve in soulmates.

Someone said to me once 'love is moments and I love moments' ... this is how I feel and I hope I carry oon having those moments with my boyfriend.

My STBE hubby I never had a wow factor with, but we had a fairly intense beginning, although never really found him that attractive. My last ex, was more infatuation than anything else, just couldn't keep our hands off each other, but it was too much fire and not enough substance.

My current DP is a deffo WOW, every time I see him, I think he is gorgeous. Everything about him is lovely (sorry a bit sickening I know) and he is a really wonderful person. It is early days though, so who knows whether things will work out (I'm hoping VERY hard ).

Unfortunately there is a dad at school who I absolutely adore...

so it is possible then! lol. i'm currently talking to someone who has the slight 'wow' factor but till you meet them (on sat) you can never know for sure.
