When you two were first getting together who put the moves on whom?

For us, it was definitely me. I was kind of seeing this other guy. We weren't really a couple but I just went out with him like once or maybe twice. So I was sitting around literally waiting for him to call. But then I had this girlfriend who was friends with Kelly and some of Kelly's friends so I was hanging at her apartment and my dh's best friend (the one who was up here recently) was like quit waiting around for him go to this party with us.

So get this. There was some guy at this party that wanted me to go outside with him. I was very naive and it was the first party I ever had been to. So the guy is like touching all over me and won't get his creepy little hands off me and is trying to go get me to go borrow a friend's car and go with him. So then another of dh's friends comes out and I think he could tell the guy was upsetting me and he asked me if I wanted to go with the guy which I said no. I think they ran this creepy dude off.

Well okay, then what do I do after that. I go outside again and talk with another guy. Yeh, smart girl.

That guy was DH! And I was so crazy about him from that moment on.

....

And then we lived happily ever after...

Awwwww

DH made the first move!

[Arya]

Oh such a cute story I made the first move too, DF is kinda patient and wanted to take it slow but I wouldn't let him LOL Knowing him now, I would probably still be waiting!!!

DH made the first move. He "asked me out" like 3 times and I turned him down for a good six months (although we were still sort of dating) before I finally said yes. I had just gotten out of a 3.5 year relationship and had just turned 21, so I felt like I needed to have some single time before starting something with someone.

Oh Patty that is so sweet.

I was dating this guy and I was over a friends house with him and JR was there. When I left he told his friend when I break up with Gumby to let him know because he WAS going to take me out. About a week later my friend calls again wanting to me go out with him and this went on for a month. And to be honest I was not interested in him but when I finally dumped the jerk I was with I said OK fine I will goo out with him ONE time so he will leave me alone. That night we went bowling and than sat on my friends couch till about 7AM talking and have been together ever since. So much for one date huh...lol

Such great stories!!!

DH definitely made the first move. It's such a strange story too. I was just breaking up with my BF of 7 1/2 years! We had a 13 year age difference, he didn't want to give me kids, etc, etc... so it was clear that it wasn't going to work. Since the house and car were both in my name, I was giving him time to figure out where he was going to live... so while we were still living together... the relationship was OVER!

DH and I actually worked together, which is how we met. We used to take smoke breaks together and wound up taking lunch together and chatting. We were really like friends first because whenever we would talk about girls, he would always describe everything that I'm not. Blonde, blue eyed, teeny tiny etc. Um... have you seen my pics? LOL! So I figured there's nothin' doin' here.

Well, the more time went on, the more he started being all cutesy and flirty with me and I, who always thought he was too cute for words, started feeling like a 16 year old girl again!! The moment he saw me smile at his flirting... it was like Full Steam Ahead!!

One night we were walking out to the parking lot from work (2nd shift) and as we were standing at his car talking we saw a shooting star with a green tail. That's when we had our first kiss... almost 10 years ago!

In a way, my best friend kind of did. lol.

She helped me get a job at the factory where she worked (and where BF was working as well). They were friends so I started hanging out with them on breaks. She got an internship shortly afterwards and had to move to New Orleans so as a going away party, she, I and our other really good friend went camping. All night they were trying to get me to call him, but I'm a bit shy and not very out going so I wouldn't do it.

The next day, she asked if I wanted to go over to his house to hang out and watch movies. I figured she'd be there so it would be "safe". We got there, and didn't even get past the opening credits of the first movie when she gets a call from a "sick friend" and has to go check on him but said she'd be right back . . . she never came back. We watched the first 2 movies w/o much talking, but didn't make it through the 3rd movie. We got an apartment together a couple months later, and now we're trying for a baby and "unofficially" engaged (we both know we're getting married, but no ring or official proposal yet).

I love reading everyone's stories...

Well ours in a strange one. We met at my grandmothers funeral.....

Well I was at the funeral and very upset. My cousin was there and his friend was with him (DH) anyway after the funeral we all went out for dinner and drinks in a hotel (not sure if that is an Irish thing to have a wake) Anyway we all had our dinner and drinks and of course started singing My nan loved singing any all my family sing and play music so it turned into a bit of a party.

I was chatting with DH and he has so sweet. afterwards we left the hotel and went to catch a taxi but there was none left so DH walked me home (about 20min) he was really nice and not pushy.
The next day he got my no from my cousin and he rang me to see how I was doing. He spent the next week ringing me up asking how I was coping and then he asked if I wanted to go for a walk on the beach which is where we had our 1st kiss... That was 5 years ago and we will be married 1 year in October.

DH definitely made the first move. And he lied to me in order to do so.

First off, we have known each other since we were in the same 3rd grade class together. Although he didn't always go to school with me (his family moved around a lot), he did always end up back in our home town. So over the years, even beyond high school, we'd talk from time to time and always managed to keep up with each other through mutual friends. Well he had been living in west Texas for a few years and finally managed to land a job in Baton Rouge, La. which is about an hour or so from Slidell (where we are both from). So one day I was on the phone with him and found out that he'd be in town that weekend so I asked him to come see me (I had a booth at a local craft fair) because we hadn't seen each other in years. So that Sunday morning he came by to say hello and we ended up talking for about an hour or so. Eventually he headed off to his original destination with the promise to see him again soon.

So fast forward to the next weekend. I get a call from him and he says that they are having an impromptu BBQ at his dad's house and all of our friends are coming over, do I want to come as well? Well of course I said yes and was glad that we were on the phone so he couldn't see me jumping up and down at this invitation. You see, I'd had a crush on him since high school, but never dreamed there was a chance for us as a couple. So his invitation (even though it was for a group thing) made me feel like a giddy teenager again. LOL

So that afternoon I show up at his dad's house only to find out that really, there is no BBQ(at least not a big one), there are no friends coming over, it's just us and his brother and brothers girlfriend! I found out later that evening that he didn't think I'd come over if I knew it was just us, so he said everyone was going to be there as a ploy to get me there. Of course you should have seen his face when I finally told him that I'd had a crush on him for years so getting me to visit wouldn't have been a problem!

We ended up hanging out at his dad's (he was staying there while in town for the weekend) for hours, just the four of us. We made did eventually BBQ, made a quick grocery run so we could make smores and sat outside around the firepit enjoying the cool evening. We had our first kiss that night as well! This November will be 3 years since that kiss.

This is such a great story. Who would think you would meet your dh at a funeral.

I left out a few details. I was telling dh that I posted the abbreviated story on JM. I left out the part where I looked at him and thought to myself I am going to find a way to take this guy home with me.

And I did... and he kind of never left. He was at my apartment every day for like four months. I was head over heels crazy about him. I told all of his bachelor friends that he was going to be the one I married after like knowing him for two weeks. One of his friends LAUGHED AT ME! I still remember it too. Well I showed him. Here we are almost 17 years later and we are still together. I knew he was the one like love at first sight.

Awww, cute stories!

DH and I met at work, I was with another guy at the time but things weren't going well. So him knowing that I had a boyfriend at the time prevented him from making the first move. I broke up with the ex and we've been together since! After he knew I was single he made the first move We've been together for 8 years and married for just over a year

[Patriciamomofboys]

Me. My dh is really shy. We were friends for awhile and when I started to let it be known that I liked him I found out that he had a crush on me for a year or so but never let on since he was so shy. We've been together for 6 and a half years now and married for almost 4. Our 4th wedding anniversary is in September.
