I know we've had this before, but i can't find it. So did you fancy your partner the first time you met, or did you fancy but not like them much, that type of thing.!!

[piratecat]

I find it really interesting to read what people thought of their partners, dh's dw's when they frist came into contact. It's sometimes funny how the unlikeliest people got together.

Erm, and yes, my question is becuase I have sorta met soemone who i didn't think I would like, but do. !!

(nosy parker emoticon)

I didn't lust after him by any means. I thought he was nice, a bit young looking but alright.

He was(and is) so funny and clever and fun to be with that I went on some more dates with him and thought, actually, I fancy him.

Hi pc
I fancied him. The first time I have truly thought "he is gorgeous". Lots of other firsts though, and this isn't the most significant, but I have realised that in so many ways, I always settled before.

Many women aren't that physical. It's a generalisation, sure, but bits of it are true. For me, it's true that the attraction grows even if I'm not that sure or interested to start, but I do feel and experience and want physical attraction, iyswim.

Nah, didn't fancy him till he'd had his hair cut

first time i saw my Dp i thought he was a total prick.
he had been rather rude to a friend of mine ( although she may have deserved it) the following evening my group of friends went out with his group of friends (we were all on holiday on a hen/stag weekend in Benidorm. we met as we were in the same hotel)

We spoke a couple of times and he made me laugh.
he won me over and by the last day i thought he was a really nice bloke and we really got on well.
Didn't fancy him at all though. he is much shorter than me and nothing like the usual type i would go for. (my type is more vin diesel and he is more ken barlow)

we contacted each other via facebook when we got home and chatted a lot over the next 6 months. to the point that he ended up with one months phone bill being over a grand!

he doesn;t look any different but now i can barely keep my hands off him. maybe its true, love really is blind

No one that knows us can ever tell him but hold on and i will load a pic of him onto my profile.

you have never seen a more unlikely couple trust me.

Yes, I did fancy him as soon as we met. Demonstrated this nine times that same night, as I recall

Very much so.

Nope. I was 13 and he was 10. Not much of a spark there!! When I was 25 and came back home after 3 years away he was definitely much more interesting...

Oh yes. As soon as I saw him walk in I thought "holy fuck you are gorgeous". I hadn't made any effort for our date as I thought it wouldnt go anywhere: me recently divorced, three kids, unemployed. Him recently divorced, financially solvent, no kids. So I turned up in an old paint splashed denim shirt and jeans as I had been decorating.

Regretted my attire when I saw him. And then counted the hours until we met and shagged got to know each other better four days later.

Don't known when he first decided he fancied me. Probably didn't but I think I just wore him down.

Still gives me butterflies when I see him suited and booted. He is gutting prawns at the moment so I am struggling to conjure up that feeling but it will come back eventually.

Fancied her like mad on sight. Got to know her, fancied her even more.
Still fancy her, although we are an unlikely couple

No, I thought he was an arrogant tosser.

I was also slightly puzzled/intrigued as to why he wore the same green jumper each Tuesday but didn't have set clothes for other days of the week (never did get to the bottom of that one).

i fancied ds daddy as soon as i met him on a blind date! it was love at first sight, pity he turned out to be an utter fuckwit eh!

Nope I didn't fancy him. I knew he was good looking and got on really well with him, but we where just friends for three years, both in the same social circle, until we developed feelings for each other. I think he started fancying me befor I started fancying him though.

I think the fact that we where friends for so long before we got togwether has had a huge posiive effect on our relationship, as we laready know each other.

Bumperlicious it was only after my BF cut his hair too that I started to fancy him

ha ha no not really! my dh was wearing traveller beads and a god awful chav bench jumper/cardigan thing. i thought we'd only ever be friends. seems odd because i think hes a real hunk now!

When I met the husband I thought "he's very nice looking (handsome) and tall (he's 6'5"...don't ask, I like tall men!)." And that was about it. I knew him vaguely through friends and thought he was a thoroughly nice chap. There were no lightning rods.

BUT; on the night we drunkenly got it together I had seen him at the ferry terminal and he saw me...we didn't acknowledge each other as we didn't know each other very well. I didn't think much of it until I was invited to a house party that eve and realised that he would be there as it was the place he stayed normally when visiting. (I had had a horrendous day and wasn;t going to go out.) But something made me, and even though we'd barely spoken I knew it involved him, despite never have had the deep physical lust thing.

We met for drinks the following day and to be honest, I knew from then that it was something serious which may sound odd, but he said the same thing a year later (to the day!) when he proposed. Soppy bugger!

Sorry, drifted off onto a long tale, but OP: I did find him attractive but didn't have the deep physical attraction.

I thought he was cute

we were both with other people when we first met though...so was a bit of a slow burn

I liked him very very much but did not fancy him. And when he made a clumsy lunge at em in a club I thought' Oh dear this isn't what I planned at all'.

He had OBSESSED about me for at least a year , pursued me endlessly, trailed round after me etc etc before that.

BUT 22 years later we are still together, and yes i do have my moments of fancying him

That sounds bad, not because he isn't attractive cause he is, very. I just neevr really get that feeling about people. I do look at him and think how lucky I am pretty much every day though.

clumsy lunge at ME not 'em. the mind boggles

I was out with 2 mates and we fancied dh madly. i got him

I didn't know I fancied him at first - if anything I thought he looked a bit weird - though apparently the girls were all laying bets on when we'd get together. It was obvious to them!

He was my ski teacher and I initially thought 'oh, he's pretty nice', then he spoke with this lovely Scottish accent and I started to notice how tall and lovely he was and then I developed a massive crush! Had to have bloody months of ski lessons though before he got the message (claims now he was shy!). Still, nearly 10 yrs on we're going strong so I must have been right.

(mamazon, you are such a pretty lady and your whole family is gorgeous, hope you don't mind me saying).

He seemed nice. Smelled very good .

Wasn't interested for a couple of years. He ended up being my best friend and had a horrible crush on another girl in our group, who foolishly turned him down.

hahahahahahahaha!
