GTKY-love at first sight

Did you fall in love at first sight with dh?
Dh and I were friends in highschool (I was dating a friend of his) he was 2 years older and once graduated I didn't see him again until I graduated college. We re-met one night at a local bar and within 4 hrs we did the deed.
But I won't lie it wasn't love at first sight. He DOES not drink and I love to drink so that was weird (we met at a bar, he took 1 shot of tequila and was all girly drink), he also worked out every day and ate healthy, i on the other hand was still a college slob. He was just so rigid, but man did he have abs!! But within 2 weeks of constant hanging out I was hooked. We eloped on our 1 month anniversary and have been married and happy for almost 5 years.
So I ask again. Was it instant love with you and dh, or did it take some persuasion?

Re: GTKY-love at first sight
When we actually met in real life, (4 months after "meeting" online), it was instant for both of us. I knew I was in love with him as soon as I saw him walking to me at the San Francisco airport.
So yes, in a weird way, we did fall in love at first sight.
DH knew he wanted to date me the moment he met me. He still tells me how jealous he was that I was with someone else. He says he knew he wanted to marry me immediately after we started dating.
We dated during summer, did the long distance thing, broke up, then two years later he invited me to visit. I flew over on the Friday then he proposed on the Monday :-)
BLOG: The Quinntessential Mommy
I was on vacation visiting a guy friend that was in the Marines, and DH was a buddy of his that came to a party we were at. I had finally ripped myself out of a year and a half long toxic relationship and told myself that I was NOT looking for anything but me time. He had a girlfriend at the time. Something about him caught my attention, and I found myself thinking about him after I had left.
DH says the same thing about me. His relationship wasn't serious, and they were on the verge of breaking up (they did break up a few days after I left). He says that there was just something about me that he couldn't get out of his head.
Two weeks later, my friend from there called me, and they were all together. I couldn't hear my friend so I told him to borrow DH's phone (so I would have the number.) A week or so later, I texted DH acting like I didn't know why that number was on my phone. DH later revealed to me that he had saved my number to do the same thing but hadn't worked up the nerve.
We ended up having a class across the hall from one another and started dating. It wasn't long into our relationship that I knew he was the one I wanted to spend my life with.
Not really. DH is 4 years older than me, but from the same small town. I had actually never met him (moved to that school my freshman year after he graduated) and we were at the same party when I was a Senior. He was known as the "hot Jock" in town and was playing baseball in college. He was only home for homecoming weekend. He kissed me that night and gave me his number. But, I knew my parents would be totally against me ever going to visit him and I figured he was just a player, so I never called him. Fast forward to the next year, I was in college, he was in college in a different town and we were both at a bar after the bedlam game. He saw me, came up to me and we started talking. He kissed me again that night and told me he wanted my number, since I was obviously not good at returning calls. That was 1 day after my 19th birthday and I am 32 now!!
Funny coincidence... I kept the paper that he wrote his number down on that first time when I was a senior because I thought he was probably the hottest guy I would ever get to kiss!
It was for my husband but not for me. I was trying to get into the airforce at the time and had no intentions of staying around. I was in party all the time mode when we met. I told my girlfriends that he was "a stage 5" and blew him off for awhile. It was almost a year later when I got my head out of my ass and I sent him a facebook message (I know I know) to apologize to him for my behavior, let him know that I thought he was a great person and that I felt I had really screwed up. Being the great person he is, he forgave me and we have been together ever since... Turns out he was the real deal and I was just scared of it
Edited bc I forgot to mention that I couldn't imagine how my life would be if he wasn't in it
After prom we hung out with the same people but didn't talk.
We graduated and moved away for college. Then after college we both moved back home. He asked me out multiple times before I finally caved. After our first date we were inseparable.
