When you met your DH/SO

weelass24

did you think it would last?

I though D and I would hang out for a month maybe and then it would just fizzle out.  I was betting we wouldn't even sleep together.  Then on our 2nd date, he asked me to be his girlfriend and looked me right in the eye and said, "I really want this to work."

Awww!!

When I first met him- no.  We were in middle school.  When we started talking after hs- definitely.

Yep. I knew I was young but I also knew without a doubt that I didn't want him getting away.

I thought he'd be a one night stand. I know that's dirty but whatever. I had just gotten out of a really bad 4 year relationship and wasn't looking for a relationship at all.

That's really cute that your husband said that!

Nope! After our first date I said to my brother "I don't think I'll go out with him again" and my brother said "watch, you'll end up marrying him" LOL. We just kept hanging out and getting to know each other and he was such a great guy that I was able to trust him and forget about all the bad stuff in the past with other guys.

So glad I picked a nice guy.

No, I don't even remember meeting him.  My bff introduced us and I totally don't remember it! lol  Then when we started dating, I figured he was just another guy I was checking out.  I was divorced with no plans to really be with anyone for awhile.  Weird how things work out! lol

Awww! How adorable!

When I first met my husband I thought he was super charming, but I could have sworn he had a thing for my friend. I guess I was just scared at the prospect of having a serious boyfriend. After two years of dating I had to seriously consider if we'd make it or not. I decided we would and six years later we're nearing our three year wedding anniversary.

I thought he was going to be a one night stand also - but here we are... over 11 years later!

Yep!  It wasn't easy, though.  We were off-and-on for about a year but I knew we'd end up together.  DH was hilarious when we finally got really serious and I told him he could just get over "not wanting labels" because I was telling everyone he was my boyfriend even if he didn't tell them I was his girlfriend, lol.

Wee, that's really sweet of him.

 

When we met, yes. I made a private blog post about three weeks after meeting him saying, "I know he's the one."  Things moved fast, we were married within a year at a civil ceremony but we're socially "engaged" until we have a wedding in July with our family.

This is going to sound super cheesy, but yes.  DH and I met when we were 12.  He had a crush on me in 7th grade.  He used to splash me/dunk me in the pool during swimming PE.  One day he dunked me and I choked on a mouthful of water.  When he realized what he had done he pulled me out of the pool and looked into my eyes.  I got a feeling when we locked eyes and I have never turned back.

Mrs.EliK

Aww that is really sweet. 

When I met DH I was dating someone else.  We knew each other for years before dating but I always had a feeling that if we ended up together that it would be long term.

At a bar.

I gave him my number and forgot all about him. He called a few days later and I had to ask my friend who he was. LOL!

Same here, except 6 years for us.

I couldn't stand him. But he bought me breakfast and wouldn't quit calling. Persistent fukc.

 

MH was persistent too - I even blew him off a few times but he kept calling!

PubStar09

It took about a week for me to realize it was going to last for a while.

mrs_kelly1014

Nope! I've known DH since we were 12 years old and he was the icky older brother of one of my friends. However, when we started dating right before I turned 16 I knew he would be the one I was going to marry.

WishLuckyStar

Nope, I too thought it would just be a fun night and was excited when he bought me and a friend Smirnoff Ice (I was 20).

We hung out daily for a few months until one day he said, "so you're my girlfriend right?" and seven years later I still miss him if I don't see him everyday. We've been married for three.

 

mmkaye

I couldn't stand dh at first.  I thought he was a jerk.  Little did I know that he would grow on me!

buckin

Nope. Not at all. I thought he would be a fun distraction but didn't know if I could handle the whole GOTH, pierced, tattooed, dark bad boy thing for long.

Yea, I got over it and he mellowed out.

mrsadamc 05

Nope!  We met at our summer lifeguarding job and both of us thought it would just be a summer thing. 

And then summer ended and we decided to keep on dating and see if it would work.  4 years of long distance dating later we finally lived in the same place.  3 more years after that we were married! 

I still can't believe that this summer will mark our 11th year together!

Awwwwwww!!! These are cute stories! Too bad I'm super late...

 

When I met DH, we were at a church function. We were from sister churches, and the only two seniors in our group. He exchanged IM/email with another girl who was crushing on him, and offered his info to me. I kinda shrugged  & took it, thinking that I'd talk to him a couple of times, etc...

At church that evening, his hand brushed against my leg, and my stomach knotted-up, and I felt like I'd been in constant contact w/static electricity. I still blew it off, thinking I just had a crush. He was so not my type anyway (shy country boy, kinda nerdy). We parted ways later, and I'd later learn that he went home & told his mom and sister he'd met the girl he was going to marry.

We talked on & off for a few years via email/IM. I became involved w/my ex-FI, and still continued to talk to him. Right after that disastrous relationship ended, I immediately worried that he would have no way to contact me, so I sent him my new email. We began talking again, and made plans to meet-up (he lived two hours away). The rest is history!   We have been together 9 years this summer, and married for five this May.

Yep!  We had a college class together, and the moment I saw him, I knew he was "the one."  I was dating someone else at the time & ended up staying in that relationship for 2 more years.  As soon as I ended it, I found DH through a friend and we've been together ever since.

I played "hard to get" well as hard as you can be for only being 16 DH and I worked together and I pretty much ignored him for a good 8 months. The whole time he was super sweet to me. Then one day the light bulb went on in my head and I realized I was a huge douche. We went on our first date I came home and told my parents I met the person I was going to marry.

We've been together ever since.
