The minute I laid eyes on my ex I thought to myself "I'm gonna marry that girl." And a few years later I did.

Unfortunately we didn't stay married.

YESSSSSSSSSSS This is what I've been trying to convey about relationships all the time!.....You just put it much more eloquently! 'She represented possibilities and a future he had never comtemplated before' to me that says it all about WHY A MAN IS ATTRACTED TO A PARTICULAR WOMAN!!

If she was like a 4 on looks then it isn't that hard to land that girl. Hardly any guy wants to go out with a girl that is below average.

I was dating someone when I met my husband thru mutual friends. I didn't think alot about him at the time, was having fun at a concert we all went to. This was in March 1987. I didn't see him again untl June 1987 but was only for a few minutes, again saw him in July, I was single then, we started dating...we got married November 1987. Both times he saw me prior to July he told our friends that he was going to marry me. He was right.

Below average? by WHO's standards??? I know a lot of men I wouldn't touch with your pole!...Women get approached by men "we feel sorry for" and accept drinks, talk to them and dance with them cuz WE ARE NICE!! date them?? NO WAY!! You give a 4 to someone who's heart is an 11 !! Silly you!! You just passed up an awesome woman!!

we both had no clue. it took us 10 years to even consider being romantic with one another lol
it was a mutual respect that grew into a love, not an instant sensation for me.

I would think differently. Be flattered, even.

I agree ... its flattering but I would run too. That NEVER happens .

Not sure about love at first sight. Maybe lust at first sight. Takes a little while to really get to REALLY know a person.

Yes, but not quite that quickly. It took a couple of hours for us to make love, first.
