When I look back at it, my husband was a little creepy but cute. We worked together and he sneak in and stare at me anytime he thought I wasn't looking. He would try and talk to me, etc. He would become flustered when he talked to me.

He told me after we married that the first time he saw me he couldn't think. I remember that. I went up to him, as he was sitting at my desk. I sad hi, my name is snowflake. He looked at me blankly and said hi I am "snowflake dh first name". After about 30 seconds, I told him that he was sitting at my desk (I had started working there while he was out on medical leave). He got all flustered and told me he was SO sorry.

I knew he liked me, but after a bitter separation with ex-dh, I wasn't looking. I was kind of rating this one guy who I had lived near and moved away from. Poor handsome fellow traveled over 1500 miles to see me, and wanted to move closer to me.

I remember I had told him when we were just friends that I would never date a married man P.E.R.I.O.D. I wasn't referring to him, but to in general amongst a group of coworkers. The day he divorced, (separated for a couple of years), he made his move.

He is a fun and handsome guy.

In addition to building my chicken coop and filling it with chickens as a surprise, my DH also learned how to trim horses hooves so he could take care of our horses. He also let me fill the barn with goats..lol.

On the flip side, I never said no to him getting a new boat:) (well, never new but new to us!)

I can honestly say that the first night I went out with DH (to a local pub) I fell in love with him instantly and just knew. I remember sitting at the bar trying to play it cool, wondering if I made a huge mistake agreeing to go out with him and then he sat down and looked at me with his big blue eyes and smiled his perfect smile and I just knew. I knew he loved me and I knew I loved him. I never believed in instant connections but that is what ours was. The conversation always came so easy, like I knew him a million years.

ETA: We also have the exact same taste in music. I love how we love the same artists, appreciate the same old songs.

I was at a pit party when DH plopped his ass next to me on my tailgate. Told him to get the eff of my truck. He said "no, I'm DH" I said "I don't care" we sat there for hours yelling at each other and drinking beer. I knew I was hooked when the next party I was at I didn't see him there and left. He has been the only one that can piss me off!!

We went our separate ways for over 15 years, but ran into him at a gathering and we have been inseparable ever since

We had actually known each other for over a year before we started dating. When we did start dating, I just laid it on the line and gave him a list of rules or expectations, whatever you want to call them.

It wasn't a long list but things that other guys had disrespected (and I let them get away with it). For example, don't call me everyday and don't call me before such and such time (so I could work out and have ME time). That one was big for me because in the past, I had let my relationships get in the way of what I needed to do for myself.

There were a few more things but the bottom line was, he respected every one of them. EVERY ONE.

We met online and while I really liked him (we had a super amazing first date conversation) he said he knew immediately. It took me to the third date when I went out to meeting him and my heart went "THWUNK" when I saw him.

After many texts/conversations later, and 6 months in I moved in with him.

Yeah, it's been hard with the SDs and with his non-house cleaning / house repair skills but we make it work because we always have fun together and can always talk.

We also, before meeting, and years ago, realized we had "close calls" to meeting as we frequented the same small venues and lived in adjacent neighborhoods. He even was a roommate with my aunt's best friend...and I even had visited the house but her "male roommate" wasn't there at the time. It turned out to have been DP!

Comment removed due to too much personal information.

My DH and I went to high school together. He was a year ahead of me and I didn't KNOW him (I knew and spoke with his brother), but I thought he was cute and had the sexiest legs.

Fast forward almost ten years and we were working together. We were like bees and honey - couldn't stay away from each other. Would stay after work and talk for HOURS. Unfortunately, I was legally separated from my husband and stupidly caved into parental pressure to "make it work", even though I was head over heals with DH. I thought of him every time I heard Sam Elliot's voice and drove by our previous place of employment - which was about once a week!

20 years later, his profile popped up on FB as "maybe you'd like to be friends with...". I couldn't believe it. He was older, had a moustache and goatee, and his blonde hair was darker, but I knew him in a heartbeat. Immediately sent him a friend request and THEN looked at his profile - divorced! We messaged a few times, intended to get together for about 5 months but kept missing each other. I invited him to a party I was co-hosting, fully expecting him to have a date (he's sexy!!). He showed up stag expecting ME to have a date. I was the world's worst co-hostess and only left his side to use the bathroom. We haven't been apart since that night.

We met on St. Patrick's Day at a pub tent party through a mutual friend.
As soon as we were introduced, I immediately was drawn. Big blue eyes and the BEST smile.
Later, I was trying to think of a reason to go chat with him......he was wearing a T-shirt that said, "I'm not Irish, but I'm a great kisser."
So I walked up to him and said, "So, your t-shirt....is that, like, free advertising?" He laughed, we chatted.
The group of us decided to go to a different pub, we had separate cars, so I drove with my friends. We stayed at the other pub for about a hour, then left. The other group never showed up, I was SO disappointed, thought that was the end of that.

Come to find out, the other group arrived about 10 minutes after we left (of course). And HE was so disappointed that we left, so he Facebook-stalked me through our mutual friend and found me. I get a message from fb, "I don't know if you remember me and I hope you don't think this is creepy......."

Six years later and we're still here!!!

My SO should thank you....I'm feeling all mushy now and planning a VERY nice evening tomorrow night.

BM is going to be in town so she will pick up the kids from school, no 2 hour drive tomorrow for skid exchange!

When I "O"'ed 5 times. It started on the first "official"date that took him months to ask for. That night, he left the driver's door open when he walked me to my front door. He didn't want me to think that he expected to be invited in.

We were sitting together in June 2012 (Dating 3 months - had barely met each other's children) on the side of a river bank watching the sunset and he had his arm around me and he said "I can just see it now. Can you?" and I asked "See what?" And he said "Our grandchildren playing in the front yard while we watch from the front porch."

There were a lot of moments in those first few months - but that sticks out.
