How did you meet your H and what was your first impression?

[Deleted]

Stolen from MMM (I lurk all over). So, how did you meet your H and what did you think of him at the time?

He had messaged me on a ballroom dancing member organization. But the email tied to the account was on an email address no longer active for me. Ha! He approached me at a show to say hi and mention he had emailed me there. I, thought he was cute and had seen him around the studio...so of COURSE I hated that he thought I had ignored him. I told him I would be sure to check it soon. I had to race off to a Christmas party after the show. Later that night, I PAID to reactivate my online ballroom account, re-route it to another email address, and answer him there (while leaving my phone number). He responded within 30 minutes and we talked for 4 hours. He seemed like SUCH a good guy from a good background. Plus he had the best BUTT I have ever seen on a guy....still does! After our first date, we were inseparable. I think we spent a total of 5 days apart that first Christmas. That was it.

I was in a sorority in college. I went to hang out with the guys at one of the fraternity houses one night. I got there and H was sitting on the couch with his laptop. He wasn't a member but he seemed to fit right in. I don't remember any specific feelings at the time but he seemed nice.

We both hung out with a lot of the same people and eventually we started hanging out together. He was quickly turning into one of my best friends. He had mentioned liking me but I shrugged it off of course.

Finally one night we were both at another sorority formal. For our fall formals, we were able to invite multiple dates so we typically invited friends from other fraternities or sororities. I decided I was going to invite H and I suddenly got nervous about it. I mean, he obviously was going to say yes, so I don't know why I was nervous. Later that night after I had gotten home I asked him to come over and we've been together ever since!

My H was my dorm neighbor in college. I was a sophomore and he was a freshman. My BFF and I bought some skateboards to be silly and were riding around on them. He came over to help us out since we kept falling off. I thought he was super cute, even though I was never attracted to blondes before. We took him to a party with us a few nights later, we got drunk, made out, and I took him home with me. I assumed that would be the end of it, but we kept hanging out after that and eventually started dating. We've been together 11 years now!

DH and I met at a party my friends older sister was having. (At their parents place, everyone there was 4 years older then the 2 of us)

When I first met H he was really nice, I thought he was cute but I didn't think much of it because of the age difference. So I let it go and went on with life. (I was also just ending it with my ex at the time.)

2 weeks later my friend and I ran into H at a club he ditched his friends to hang out with us, and then him and I sat in a booth at the club and talked. We didn't even notice that my friends had left as well. Lol

Eventually I found my friends and gave H a hug and left. He never asked for my number or anything. He says that he realized that after he saw us drive away.

The next day he was able to get my friends number from her sister and he asked her for my number. She was being weird and wouldn't give it to him.

A few days later I was bored and asked friend for his number, we had a party with a group of my friends, and he brought a friend as well. I ended up leaving the party with H and his friend. We went back to the friends house and hung out until we all fell asleep on his couches. Since then H and I have been together ever since .

Edit: 8 years this month we started hanging out. Our dating anniversary is Sept 15th.

DH and I met on eHarmony. We had a few email exchanges that revealed we had a lot of common ground between church and career interests. Our first few conversations (phone) seemed like we could just keep talking forever so we ended up going on our first date, which was a beautiful hike, where the talking seemed very natural. Right away I knew he was someone special. Other than that I was noticed he was in great shape, loved being outside, easy to talk to, and a gentleman.

We met on a trip to Washington DC in high school. It was through the rural electric company and one junior was picked from each county. I had a boyfriend at the time and was not interested, but he found a way to be around me the entire week. We eventually exchanged phone numbers and email addresses. The rest is history.

[katespade]

This is sort of a tough question for me to answer, because I don't remember when I met him.

We grew up in the same small town, went to the same school, had some of the same friends, and passed each other in the hallways on a pretty regular basis. I have a handful of vivid memories from growing up that include him in the picture, but no real one-on-one interactions or anything. I'm pretty sure that I thought he was a nice, quiet kid.

It wasn't until after high school that we re-met and finally paid attention to each other. Haha.

[HoneySpider]

We met when we started work on the same day (we had both moved to Oklahoma for the job). I don't remember a real lot about my first impression that day except he had some stupid facial hair going on. It wasn't love at first sight, lol. We became friends right away, I thought he was fun and we had a lot in common. As time passed we started flirting a little but nothing much. Then he asked me to go to dinner for Valentine's Day only I am dense and thought it was just as friends. Oops.

We didn't actually start dating until after I had moved back to NJ. We used to talk on MySpace (haha!) and then I went back to visit and we officially started going out. I moved back about 2 months later, I just knew from the start he was going to be the one I'd marry.

These are so fun to read


I first met my H when I was 16 at a swing dancing hall, celebrating a friend's birthday. His brother forgot to pick him up and so H got stuck going to this dance and did not at all want to be there. My friends abandoned me to make out with people they met, so H and I spent the evening sulking at a table and making fun of all the lame people. We have a dreadful group picture of smiling people, and us scowling. We stayed friends for several years online (during which he loved me the whole time, I now know. lol) but didn't start dating until college.

I honestly thought he was hot and awesome, but he said something to imply he didn't ever want kids, so I went for years thinking he was never a potential date. Turns out it was all a miscommunication. Clearly, he is okay with kids

It's funny because I had talked to him daily for years, but when I was 18 and he came to meet my family for the first time, I hadn't seen him since that first night. I was so nervous I hid in the kitchen and kept poking my head around the corner to make sure he looked like I expected.

H was moving to the college town I lived in for school. We had a mutual friend who told me H would be moving there and wouldn't know anyone. H came to town to apartment hunt and I offered to show him around while he was there. So my first time seeing him was at my front door. He was wearing a red shirt and I thought he was really cute. Pretty sure I winked at my roommate as I walked out.

He was my brother's friend. I knew him for years before we started dating. I don't remember my first impression of him because he was my brother's friend and I didn't care, lol. We became friends and it just naturally evolved from there.

Ha! Well clearly by red, I meant crimson. But as a Gator, I will just call it red

I was in the intern program with this other girl. She had given up her regular job to be part of the intern program. Her replacement was "this nerdy guy who apparently has a sense of humor and a bad ass tattoo." She recruited me and new guy to be on the company softball team. I met him there, but my first impression was probably a year later when we ended up in leadership class together and we were the only ones without kids. The first time I actually noticed him was when I came back from a 17 day Christmas break. I really debated returning to work. But the first person I saw when I walked into the building was H. He gave me this huge goofy grin and I thought, "Huh." Turns out, he thought I wouldn't return from Christmas break so he was thrilled to see me.

[girlscout]

on a blind date. I didn't want to go on it but everyone was bugging me about it so I caved in and said I'd go.
We hit it off and he asked me out again. The rest if history!

I met my H when I was 6 and he was 9. I remember it really well, and he doesn't remember it at all, haha. I was homeschooled and the oldest, so I knew approximately 3 kids older than me, all cousins. BIL is a few months older than me, and H was tasked with entertaining the two of us. It was the day after my family moved to town, in our basement, and the ILs were welcoming us. I remember thinking he was HILARIOUS, but super intimidating because he was older than me.

We saw each other a few times a year, and I never once thought of him in any romantic way, because to me he was still the "older brother" figure, especially since BIL was in my class at school. But when I was 17 I saw him again after a year of not seeing him, and my impression was that he was incredibly nerdy (as per) and still hilarious And that's when I fell in love with him. Apparently he had been into me the whole time, haha.
