When You Met Your Husband was it like fireworks or were you friends first.

I still have no husband.But usually my relations start with a friendship.One man can be really very sexy and hot, but this is not enought to feel that he is The One.

I agree, there's no point taking it slow with someone you really love. I always feel like a second is wasted when it's not in the company of a loved one.

It is funny how we can be attracted to one person over another. Why when that certain someone walks in a room do we immediately fall head over heels for them? It's like those dating shows like The Bachelor. How can they all be in love with the same guy? It just doesn't make sense to me. I have met guys that were friends and never had any romantic feelings for them whatsoever. When I met my first husband I was enamoured by him and after conversing with him every day at work, an attraction developed. With my second husband, I was still married to my first husband but I was smitten as soon as I saw him. Of course he was performing and I find that sexy in a guy. And when I saw him on the street later I felt star struck. So after my husband left and he came up to me and started talking to me my heart was pounding. I didn't hesitate to let him take me home that very night. However, that was some kind of a rebound relationship and I was a little clingy. We broke up after three months, but found our way back to each other as we couldn't get each other out of our minds. Attraction is a mysterious thing.

By the way, I love how you say, "If there was lightening, it would have struck me..." I can see why you say you wouldn't be able to go without affection!

Fireworks. Yes, plain and simple. He walked in and that was that. I still feel the same way after 40 years and 6 kids. In fact, in my circle of friends still happily married for more then 30 years all felt the same way. My husband says the same thing.

Actually, I didn't really think I was going to like this new guy at Civil Air Patrol. We both had lost our jobs. We both needed jobs. We both were miserable and complaining. That's not a life I really wanted. But we started talking about other things. He's generally more positive than me and we started to become friends. Then I liked him more and more until it was love. I don't think fireworks really discribes us. Interesting topic, thanks.

Well, I met my partner online, and we spoke as friends for a little while. I was living in the UK at that time, he was in Canada. He sent me a photo of him and I certainly felt as though lightning had struck me LOL. Dark Blond hair, blue eyes, suntan to die for and boy was he tall! It took me a while to actually work up the courage to tell him I had feelings for him. When I did, he disappeared for a couple of days and I thought I'd blown it lol. Then 2 days later he showed up, and told me he felt the same. That was the 3rd of May 2004. I now live in Canada with him and we're marrying on the 3rd of May next year. Money has played a part in us waiting though. When I first met him in Canada at the airport, I saw fireworks. There was an immediate attraction and understanding between us, and it's only grown more intense as the years have passed.

Fireworks for me. I saw him and knew I wanted to be with him. I dont know what it was. He smiled at me, and I smiled at him, and it took us 7 months before we acutally said anything to each other and at that point it was a fluke! It was meant to be though. It was like lightening for me though, because I was single and all I wanted was to see him again and it lasted that way for the 7 months and then some ;)

It took us quite a long time before we got married. My love was there, but maybe his wasn't. We were too young when we started going out so I think it was just right for the love to grow stronger and we waited for the right time to get married.

My husband and I were friends first, but that was because I dated two of his friends. . .not at the same time (they were both in our wedding, too!). If I wouldn't have dated at least one of those guys, I would never have met my husband. Once we started dating, we were only together for 5 1/2 months before we got engaged, married 10 months later. And this September we will be married for 10 years!

Warning: This might be a little long! I first met might husband while managing a convenience store. He was a regular customer. We were both involved with others. I really liked him and thought about him a lot. If I didn't see him for a while I would ask all my other employees if/when they saw him. I never made more than casual conversation with him. I never even flirted, totally different for me because I have always been known as a big flirt. I sensed that there was something different about him. He even applied for a job there once. Being totally honest here, I didn't think I could have him working for me and NOT jump his bones! So I made all kinds of excuses why I couldn't hire him. Some time passed, and I somehow learned that he was no longer involved. I had dumped my boyfriend a few months before. One day while he was there, I mentioned that I'd heard about his relationship and "casually" mentioned that I was single myself! We went on our first date that weekend. March 18, 2006. I swear I knew I was going to marry the man that night. We were married June 24, 2006. Our first anniversary is coming up very soon! No, we don't have the perfect marraige, but yea, I believe it will last forever!

I lived in another state when I met my husband. I had come from Colorado to visit a friend who had moved to Seattle. I met him, but it was a brief moment. I thought he was cute but we were both in another relationship at the time. He had actually just broken up with his girlfriend the day I met him. Two months later I went to visit my friend again before I was supposed to be gone for a year in Egypt and Thailand. That time we hit it off! We exchanged email and kept in touch while I was in Egypt. I started to fall in love with him through our email conversations. I was still in a relationship so I had to break that one off because it wasn't fair to him to be in touch with this guy that I was falling for. After a few weeks in Thailand, I came home. I moved to Seattle. This guy and I started dating immediately...two months later he asked me to marry him and two months after that we got married! Very short dating, very short engagement. We've married for about a year and a half now. I couldn't be happier! I don't know why people would wait either! Love is so wonderful! :)

when i first met my husband, there was no fireworks of that sort neither were friends...it was my cousin who is his cousin husband who wanted to introduce me to him. and he thinks of me as high class, hypocrite. and i thought that he was boastful, happy go lucky among others..he was also a church officer that time. our second encounter was disastrous. why coz when i asked why he suddenly disappeared while being an officer, he said that he went on vacation.. and i thought, how could he take a vacation at the busiest time of the year.. finally, when our paths crossed again.. he offered me a ride coz it was rainin and i dont have an umbrella.. he asked for my number and started calling me..and there, i finally knew who he really was. and started to fall for him... we only dated for 4 mons and started to talked bout marriage on the 5th month..and now, we are married for almost 7 years and i cudnt asked for more.

My husband and I have known each other for 17 yrs, been together seriously for 13 yrs and been married for 7 years. We were practically best friends for the first 4 years - we told each other everything and had no secrets from each other. Something happened on day when we were just hanging out and we began to see each other differently. We've been very much in love ever since - not a perfect relationship, we've had our arguements and battles and still we managed to work things out and stick together. We have our home, our children, our pets and it's all part of our life together. My man has the tall, dark skin, dark hair, dark eyes that is every woman's fantasy - and he takes very good care of myself and our children. We never want for anything, especially love. We aren't rich, we get by just fine financially, even on tight months. But our house is full of love and life. I'm glad we got to know each other - for us it has worked to our advantage. We're friends and lovers and are very happy and content just to be in a room together and do our own thing - read, watch tv, be on the computer, etc. I just know our relationship is one that will survive life and all it's surprises.

My husband and I were more friends first. The situation was, he was best friends with my step-dad. No, he's not THAT much older than me..lol. He's only 3 years older than me. But, they were very close. So he was always at my house. When I was 16, he had already graduated, and I had a boyfriend. When my boyfriend and I broke up, my husband and I got together. It lasted about 3 months, and I broke it off. About a year later, I found someone else, got married (way too young) and had a baby. That marriage ended badly; on a Tuesday to be exact. Thursday afternoon, I opened the door to find my [then] future husband standing there. The man I loved with all my heart the entire time, even though I broke it off with him when I was younger. I hadn't seen him since. But, there he was. Staring into my eyes. Then... it was fireworks. We've been married for going on 7 years now, and have 2 gorgeous little boys. =)

My story starts when I was 19 and he was 21. We married after 3 months of knowing each other. Everyone thought we were crazy, we were just crazy in love. Well, in 5 years I divorced him. He had an affair with someone else and ended up marrying her for several years. I still loved him deep down even though we hated each other. We shared a child from our marriage so he was a constant in my life. After a few years we started communicating more as friends and he was always having problems with his then wife. I married someone else and my marriage was not the greatest. In fact I married someone totally different from my first husband, it turned out my 2nd husband was looking for a mother not a wife. He ended up finding that woman in our landlord hahaha! (I wondered why our rent was so cheap)Anyhow, me and my first husband reconnected. He was then seperated from his wife and I was leaving my 2nd husband. He was preparing for a deployment to Afghanistan and I have always been such a sucker for a man in uniform. There were fireworks that rivaled no other the night I saw him. I took a chance and drove 16 hours to Hattiesburg, MS to see him. I dropped my daughter off at my friends house and she spent the week there. My friend told me that if I didn't do this I would regret it, I was so scared! I knew that if I didn't I would regret it. I would not have a chance again. I was sick to my stomach with anxiety I remember that. He had reserved me a room at a local hotel and he was waiting there for me. He opened the door and that was it for me. I saw him there looking so handsome in his uniform and my heart melted. I was still very reserved and did not divulge my feelings for him. He then surprised me with a trip to New Orleans for a few days with his friends. The best part was when we sat in the Cafe Du Monde drank coffee and ate beignets in the rain, he kissed me on the cobble stone streets by Jackson Square and it was just so romantic. I was blown away by how much this boy I married years ago, had blossomed into a man. I didn't want to admit it then because of my pride, but I knew deep down that I just wanted to be with him no matter what our future brought. He asked me to think about our relationship while he was in Afghanistan. After my divorce was final I told him that I wanted to start over with him. We have had such a tumultuous relationship over the years, but it has brought us to this place in our life, and it is wonderful. I feel complete with him and when I see him, my heart just feels such a warmth of love and adoration. I didn't wnat to take it slow either. I feel like a bolt of lightening hit me when I realized that I couldn't live without this man. I know this is a long one so I better close it! LOL

sorry i am a man

We first started talking on the phone and met at his office. It was love at first sight for me, tall, buff and handsome i should say and the feeling grew deeper when he kissed me. I really felt the butterflies and breathtaking indeed! It became us 1 day only there were no courtship just talking and laughing, now were on our 8th month and still getting stronger =D

Actually i did take it slow, me & my husband were together for 4 years before we got married, dispite my want though. We were friends through mutual friends and had no intention of hooking up, but in my personal opionion i believe love's just meant to be for some of us, cause it found us just fine. I am actually insipred to hearyou have been together for so long though, not many marriages last these days, Now i have a little hope. Thanks!

I met my husband on my 19th birthday and yes it was like fireworks...i married him 5 months later. I moved in with him 3 weeks after meeting him. I just knew it was perfect...we just celebrated our 25th anniversary in March..
