When you saw/met your FH/DH for the first time, was it love at first sight?
I voted "other". The first time I saw him I was instantly interested in him and couldn't get him out of my mind. It wasn't love...a crush I guess you could say. It sure was something though!

Nope...Jon will even tell you...I thought he was extremely ugly and nerdy looking...I told him that too...But we had something there that was more important than looks, and I fell in love with him for who he was...
Yes,,,,I'm shallow, this I know ;)

For me, it was love at first site. I think for him it was too. We always thought about each other ( even though we were with other people). We were upset when we had to leave or couldn't see each other. He felt bad when we didn't speak or when he got a new girfriend and it wasn't me. We went through a lot before we actually got together. We were on again off again friends for 3 years before we got together. But the day we got together we knew we were meant to be. Sorry I know it sounds cliche but it's true. LoL

for him, he will tell you for sure (in fact before he met me he had that love at first sight experience when he saw a picture of me) I, however, wanted nothing to do with him. although he was cute, he persuaded me for thtat first date

For Robert and I, it definitely was not. I wasn't even interested in him. I sat next to him because I recognized him. As the year progressed we started talking and passing notes back and forth in class. We spent the first half of the school year talking about other crushes. I don't know when he decided he liked me, but I think my eyes opened up when he gave me a rose for Valentines.

it was love at first sight for us for sure!!! If it wasn't I don't think his 21 year old self would have been caught with a 15 year old me lol

I'm gonna say no, b/c we first meet and started having feelings for each over the internet. When we meet a month or two later I don't think he found me very attractive (he has never said that, but he didn't call for week and avoided my calls and emails, and I can't think of any other reason for all that lol) and I don't remember thinking he was drop dead gorgeous either. That sounds so mean! We were 15 and 16, and he was working and it was just awkward to be honest. But looks ceased to matter b/c we just couldn't stay away from each other :)

I'm shallow too!!! LOL
I wasn't even attracted to him and I thought he was annoying. He would call me all the time and say lets go do this lets go do this...Or he would just never stop talking..It would take me 10 minutes to get off of the phone with him..lol
But like others had said I found something much more and it was an amazing friendship...He kept begging me to go out on a date with him and I didn't want to be anything more than his friend. Eventually I realized how much of a wonderful person he was and decided to give it a shot! It's been by far one of the best decisions of my life!!

LOl guess it's my turn huh? K I admit. I didn't find DH all that attractive or exciting in high school. At the time, I had my eye on too many other guys. :) He didn't hide the fact that he was interested in me.
I do admit that my heart did some flip flops when we reconnected and he emailed me a pic of the "adult" him. My goodness he turned out nice (!!!!) but as much as anyone can fall in love instantly, I only felt something when I first heard his voice again. It's even nicer!

No way. I thought he was a little weird, actually. And he was very obviously big into church and stuff and that turned me off even more. LOL
However, it didn't take long after getting to know him that I was gonna make him mine. He thought he was gonna save me...I thought I was gonna corrupt him.
We're still working on each other. :nosey:

I don't believe in love at first sight. Lust, attraction, intrigue ...sure. But love is so much more. You can't "love" what you don't know. Just my two cents.

I would say yes for us. We met online and chatted on IM for about a week before we met in person. When we did meet we were already very into one another and it was just like "wow!" the first time we saw eachother.
I thought Jeff looked better in person and he said the same about me!

My FH and I felt an instant connection the first time we laid eyes on one another. I was kind of shy, so sat on the other side of the room from him - didn't want to be all forward and just plop down beside him. But by the end of the night he had slyly worked his way into sitting right beside me and making me laugh while our speaker spoke. After the club meeting was over, we sat outside in the parking lot talking for a couple more hours...then I got an email from him bright and early the next morning. We've been inseparable ever since :)

Nope, not at all. hahaha I thought he was a redneck with a bad taste in clothing and as Amanda said, you can ask nick and he will agree on what I said.
But as always, his personality and smile won me over. haha

For me it was love at first site, but he was married at the time and I had a BF. I always knew that there was something about him and 4 years later we are together!! I ditched the bad BF and he got divorced from the beast..hehe.:nosey:

For RC and I it was other. He had just recently lost his first wife of 26 years to brain cancer. When we met I saw this man with so much love and compassion and my heart broke for him because he was feeling so alone. When we met neither one of us were looking for a romance we were just looking for a friend to spend time with instead of doing things alone. As I got to know him the respect and friendship I felt for him grew into love.

I never believed it before and while I grew to love him more and more as I got to know him the moment I met him I just had this gut feeling...I just knew he was amazing. I knew I was in trouble :D

I agree; I don't think it was love then, but I knew there was something different and something special about DH when I first met him. I was definitely drawn to him and he says he was to me too :grinhappy:

I guess to me it was love because looking back I'd never felt that way before...like I'd known him forever and we finally met lol. I guess it's all perception but it was to me as close to love at first site as it gets :D

I wouldn't say it was "love", but like Brandi said, there was something different about him. A definatly attraction. We got close fast and it just felt right the entire time.

We met online (I run an online digital advertising agency so that's my world) and we emailed back and forth for days - every morning and evening for hours.
Then he sent me his phone number so that I could call him at my convenience one evening. I let it go for a couple of days.
When I did finally call him, we talked all night long - literally 7 hours, and repeated that the next night. He actually went out and bought a land line cause he was using his cell phone (I never knew what that bill looked like but it had to be ugly)
Then we met for coffee and before I was out of the parking lot he called and asked for a date for the next nite - of course I was busy so he had to wait for several days (we continued to email each other daily)
First kiss - the world stopped - seriously - no sound, no light, nothing just the warmth of him. Scare the **** out of me and I refused to see him again for several weeks.
We ended up going to a concert and man - that was it. He was afraid of me from the beginning - he later told me he thought I was out of his league (LOL so cute) and he just knew I was going to stop seeing him (I knew he was out of his experience level with me all along - loads of fun for me)
Took him awhile to get his feet under him, but boy when he did - magic - nothing short of sheer magic.
I am one blessed woman !

Since we actually met via computer and video cam on the computer then I have to say No. LOL. I did fall in love with his little boy smile and that mischievous twinkle in his eyes when I seen him on the cam. After meeting in person weeks later it still was not love at first sight, but we connected in so many other ways after that.

yeah it kinda was love at first sight because I say something in him that just made me curious about and not to mention the fact that he was good looking as well. He later told me that if it hadn't of been for the fact that I had a boyfriend he would have dumped his girlfriend that night and asked me out...
He worked in our local auto parts store that I was in all the time, since I was in the process of building my truck. From the first time he helped me, I got the tingly feeling that there was something about him....
... so I would go in there just for stuff I didn't need (mostly brake fluid - cuz you can never have too much of that!). I would wait for him to be available, and we'd talk about previous wheelin trips and talk about our trucks while he assisted me. We started going to lunch together, and the rest is history...
I don't know if that's love at first sight, but there was deffinitely something there!

For my FH and I it was definately love at first site. It's not a romantic story, but the first time I saw him I knew it was something special, and he agrees.

More like lust at first site, lol. I think you have to know someone a bit better to realize you love them. But yes, I ADORED him the first time I met him. He had really long, goldilocks hair, and I was going through my 'Kurt Cobain' phase, and he reminded me of him. I was hooked.
Us when we first started dating (I know it's dark):

I met him at my freshmen orientation and he was an RA. He asked anyone if they didn't know their roommates...thats me.. No one ever tells me anything (still don't actually). So he gave me her number and got my e-mail address and said if it wasn't right he would make sure I got it. Later that week I broke up with my LOONG time boyfriend and that night FH started sending me msgs on yahoo. Been together ever since. I thought he was HOT (he was a college baseball player) and didn't think much about it til I was riding around town at midnight with him and a friend a week later.
