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)

hehe- had spoken to DP on phone before we met (internet date),the photo looked sort-of OK but his voice was soooooo sexy.

When I met him I was initially really let down, he was in a crumpled anorak, fatter than in the photo and didn't smile very much.

However, he made me laugh so much, we were snogging within an hour and we are definitely compatible in many ways.... He is odd looking, really cute from certain angles, but too fat for my usual tastes (I am a DT fan) and I can't stand his teeth! However, love is blind lmao

I met DH online. We met for the first time in London and my first thought was "Hmmm, I thought he'd be taller..." We spent the day shopping (right before Xmas) and hit it off immediately.

We are a highly unlikely couple - polar opposites in many ways

Yes I did fancy him, we basically became inseparable after about two weeks and have now been together for 10 years (married for 5).

I met dh on the Saturday and then again on the Wednesday when we had our first snog but it was a couple more weeks before I fancied him. He has got hotter since we have been together. Bugger. I haven't.

tbh for me I can't really fancy someone properly until we've actually had sex or at least some shenanigans of that nature- if it's good, they instantly become hot, don't they? And a goodlooking man who is crap in bed loses all his charm. Or is this just me being totally unromantic?

These stories are so great.
I thought DH was beautiful when I first met him and as daft as it sounds I was convinced I would marry him. I was only 20. It took him 3 months of asking before I would go out with him though. I didn't want him to think I was easy won over. And 16 years later we are stil together. He is still very handsome.

Completely and utterly. 20 years later I still fancy him more than anyone I've met before or since. He just gets sexier with age, damn him.

i fancied dp when i first met him. i was 16 and he was 26 and my department manager. he thought i was just a silly school girl.

5 years later we met up and got together. still together 4 years on

met my now exh when we were 18.
Have been married 20+ years, separated 6 months.
fancied him rotten then, as I do now, definitely got better with age.
even though he is with OW, he has always been my BF and will always be.
I would love to find another one now but I feel too old and have no idea how to go about it.

We met on a dating site and when I saw his pic I nearly didn't contact him as I thought he was far too goodlooking for me!!

But then I thought "What the heck, he can only ignore me or say no".

But he didn't - and we chatted on msn and clicked enough to meet up.

When we met I instantly thought "Oh yes, he'll definitely do!" and luckily we clicked just as much in person.

I still think he's gorgeous, and he thinks I'm gorgeous but we both have low self-esteem and can't see what the other sees in us - lol!!

But we're getting married in July so we can have low self-esteem together!

Not really - I have always managed to fancy him 'for long enough though' . He has a good outline and looked great from a distance, nice colourings (bit like Barbie's Ken unfortunately). He's just fine really. If he was conventionally good looking, i'd give him a much tougher time!

Met by chance in a dive on a drunken night out. Fancied him, but thought he was a bit of an arse- he tried to tell me his name was Amadeus, then asked me to marry him! He and his mates crashed at mine and I threw him out sharpish the next day (We DIDN'T sleep together, although he is adamant that we did !)

Only agreed to see him again because he cunningly left his watch in my bathroom. Still fancied him on our date, thought he might be a fun one-night thing- after all we seemed to have nothing in common, he didn't tick the boxes on my mental list.

But it turned out he ticked boxes I didn't know I had! Now been together 10 years, married 7, 3 dc...still fancy him!

No, I didn't fancy him at all - he was just a slightly geeky bloke in the office. That was more than 14 years ago.

We were friends for years...typical drinking buddies...then he walked into the pub in a suit one day!!!!

Well, yum... there was no going back to seeing him as the scruffy jeans type again!

AF !

what ! OOMS ! what !??

how the devil are ya, btw ?

hiya, sorry only just got on here.

such great stories. I was reminded to do this thread cos i remember the last one months ago made me laugh when someone said 'no i thought he was a total wanker'

I agree that the sex bit should be tried out asap tho, as that's very important. Can win you over? maybe, i am not sure.

I fancied my ex dh immediately, we met in a club, and that was that. Other serious men I have been out with, same thing, looks first, but also backed up by brilliant personalities (luckily).

I think i am in a place where I know i fancy a new person, havenet a couple times, and still, apart form the excitement i am not sure if we are compatible in being able to communicate.

I didn´t fancy him but he seemed nice enough, my friend was gung ho about setting us up and I was young, single and up for it so when we all had a big night out shortly after I knew he´d be a sure thing [mercenary] and flirted outrageously with him. Little did I expect us to have explosive chemistry which overcame (was due to??) the fact that we barely had 5 words of a common language to communicate with. 7 yrs and counting - least expected outcome of what I thought was going to be an easy non commital one night stand

I vaguely knew who he was for ages, in a kind of nodding at way, but only really noticed him when I saw him on tv (can you be starstruck by someone being a complete geek on mastermind?), just kind of thought he was interesting, but then a few weeks later we met at a party and bonded over the fact we were both having terrible relationship problems at the time, and there was heavy flirting but we were both woefully drunk (drowning our sorrows) so didn't think much of it, although friends have said that they could see something significant was going on.

Over the next couple of months, our relationships completely failed (well, his was already failed, mine still had a slight bit of hope of putting up with each other in it) and we supported each other. There was plenty of very strong attraction by this point, lots of standing very close to each other, aching to tear each others clothes off, and so on :D

When we finally slept together, I knew he was different when I was reluctant to strip off due to not having shaved for a while and he laughed and said he didn't care, he fancied me, not some porn star :D

Ah, I do love him, I get so annoyed with him sometimes, but we really are in love. I can relax with him, my ex used to tell me off if I wasn't hairless, wearing a thong, push up bra and heels at all times He is so clever and funny, he is great at cooking, lovely with the kids and generally brilliant.

A lot of people thought both me and DP were gay for ages though and that we were just a cover story for each other, right up until I announced I was pregnant with DD1 actually

Loving all these stories!

No I didn't fancy my DH, thought he was a bit of an essex boy and a bit flash, but a really nice bloke. We worked at the same place, and then he left, didn't see him for ages then I bumped into him and then a week later he called to ask me out. I still didn't fancy him but was v excited going out with him and nervous. When he picked me up, and we were chatting, I remember thinking 'you are REALLY nice actually! He massively grew on me that night and now 10 years later we are married with 2 kids!
