What was your first thought when you first met your significant other?

Looking for some great stories to brighten my day. I'm currently single, so I don't have anything to add.

It was in hs. And I thought he was super smart and funny and I could listen to him talk for a long time.. I followed him around on the halls. He kind of knew who I was and I had a huge crush (I wasn't then only one). He was king of the nerds kind of guy.
Met again in a local bar a decade later. I heard him telling a story from across the room, had another beer (called my best friend from Hs who remembered my obsession with him), got my nerves up and went over there and said hi. We talked for 3 hours. Next week we had our first date. Have been married 5 years and have a baby. Still in love and it's not boring with him, and he's a great partner everyday.

Aww! I'm glad that you two reconnected ?

DAYUM!

It was 16 years ago and I still remember what she was wearing.

Met him in college. I thought he was attractive, but basically a rude, dumb meathead.

As I got to know him, I realized just what a smart softie he was / is. He ended up becoming a nuclear engineer, so my initial impression was lightyears off.

I was instantly attracted to him. I wanted to get to know him.
10 years of marriage later, he's still the one I look for in a crowded room.

Same here. She was wearing tights and was curled up on a couch. Very slinky, and also she was enjoying chatting with people, holding court.

What made you think he was a meathead?

He was in the university's ROTC program and was on the rugby team.

I'd think that those 2 extracurricular activities would attract decent guys, but every college is different I suppose

I met my DH in a conference room at work with other new hires for a two day orientation. I thought he was cute but intellectually arrogant and would be fired within a year. It turned out he was the smartest person in the room but we didn't date for three years and I made the first move. First impressions are not always correct!

After months of communicating online and on the phone my first thought was...wow, even better in person. After 24 hours I realized that IRL was greater than anything imagined and it never changed.

Met him at a Halloween party in a bar about three sheets to the wind, but I distinctly remember how unassuming, non-threatening, not creepy and genuinely nice he was. I thought he was cute and it was such a bonus that he was a genuinely friendly person as well.

Met at work. I thought, hey, this IT guy is cute.
We're still together 8 years later but unfortunately in retrospect it was, in many ways, poor decision. A good decision in other ways, but man it's tough.

I met DH at a house party. My friend was dating his friend - and my friend had told me that her boyfriend invited his cute friend. I opened the door and thougt - oh, this must be the cute friend.
