love at first sight--or first meeting?

Oh just give in and say it! you're smitten! you're excited! you have butterflies in your tummy when you think of him! YAY MFP!
And I believe in love at first sight, in a way. For me and Jon, after I met him I never once questioned or wondered if i'd be with him. I don't know why. We just fell into place and there was no turning back. Almost 4 years later and we're still going very strong :smooched:

and yes. I've been through it, and the first kiss was mind blowing!

I met my boyfriend through an online social site, not a dating site or anything... We knew each other for about 2 years before we ever met in person. We were very good friends and I really didn't plan on anything happening when we met... I live in Ohio, he lives in Louisiana. He invited me (and my best friend) down for Mardi Gras last year. We didn't immediately 'click' as far as romance or anything... But we all ready had a great friendship from talking nearly every day for a good part of 2 years. Anyway, things did eventually take a romantic bent and, even with the ridiculous distance, we're still together just over a year later. Right now we only get to see each other about every 6 weeks, but as of September, he should be moved up here and we'll be getting married. So, I guess you could say 'at first meeting' for us. lol I love him with all my heart and I think that the friendship we developed prior to meeting has really helped us, especially in the long distance situation. We both know each other pretty well because of it. It's not been easy, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and the light gets a little brighter each day.

My first thought of my husband was "your kidding me" LOL ... and after about 3-4 dates he never kissed me so I was like what the heck... and than I was like if he don't kiss me, I'm out ... and than he pushed me up against a wall at the movie theater and kissed me that night (thank goodness)... turns out we were both waiting for each other... But it was defiantly not love at first site...

I think it happens pretty quickly... it took my fiance and I a few years to actually admit to each other how we felt, but from the first moment I met him I compared everyone else to him. And for some reason he would constantly pop into my thoughts and I would catch myself thinking about him all the time. Once we finally confessed to one another how we felt, it was all downhill from there! We have been going strong for almost 2 years.

I believe in love at first sight. I met my current girlfriend and future wife online as well. We used to talk on a political message board until we met for a message board "meet up" at a local club. When Ashley and I met, she shook my hand and I remember her taking a step back, I felt it too, but I wasn't sure of myself. I wasn't sure if she could feel that from me. So we sat down and had dinner and started talking to each other. I remember feeling like it was just her and I there, forgetting that there were 4 other people at our table. I was so silly I didn't even realize she was flirting with me We had talked about playing air hockey, something she said she was pretty good at. So she asked me "Chris, do you want to come play with me?" . LOL I remember being like "Oh ok, sure" LOL I was such a goof.

Anyways, the night went on and I remember thinking to myself that this was the most amazing woman I have ever met. I had tried to get her to go out with me after the group left, but she needed to get back to her kids. So as I was leaving I texted her and asked "Last chance, do you want to go out with me tonight". She responded "I wish :-)" . Two weeks later we went out again and had our first mind blowing kiss. It has gotten better EVERY day for the last two years we have been together. Now we are doing MFP together. I love you so much Ashley.

We kind of knew each other from school but we were on opposite ends of a friendship circle and then he moved away so I didn't see him for around 7 years.

I saw him on a train one day and text my friend (I always said they should have babies together - long story!) and then when I broke up with my fiance a few months later, I added a bunch of people on Facebook (my ex never allowed me to have friends unless he knew them) and the friend I texted told me she was chatting to him online. I added him, and it took him forever to accept. I knew he was online because she was talking to him! He was playing poker! I'm a bit of a cheeky-cutesy person so I said "About bloody time!" when he accepted.

We talked on facebook for a couple of hours and then on MSN Messenger, just for ease. He asked for my phone number and I said "you'd better text me then!" so he sent a text, which just said "text".

We chatted on MSN and on the phone for a couple of days, until 3-4am and then he asked if he could take me out. We spend an evening debating over movies and 5 days after befriending on Facebook, we "re-met" on 24th January 2009. It wasn't love at first sight. I think I already knew I loved him from our MSN and phone conversations - we talked about EVERYTHING!! I didn't want the night to end and we stayed on the train until the end of the line!

A couple of days later I went to his place to watch a movie (full-length pyjamas and he left the room for me to change! Totally innocent!) and I heard him whisper something which sounded like "I love you" a few times but he obviously wasn't ready to say it aloud just yet.

On 31st January 2009 I told him I loved him first. It just came out and I could have killed myself! He said it right back

We've basically been inseperable ever since we first "re-met". It doesn't work for some couples to be living in each others' pockets 24/7 but it really works for us. He's my best friend and I know it sounds cliche but it's true... I feel so blessed to have him in my life and I can't wait to be his wife
