Sounds small and trivial but he was the first man whom I didn't have to chase. Whether I emailed him back or not, he was writing me "good morning sunshine!". It was a refreshing change from all the men with multiple girls on their dance card!
His confidence. He always felt comfortable with himself and always had a plan for himself. He had goals and achievements and milestones he wanted to accomplish. It was refreshing meeting a mature man like that at a fraternity party!
Haha I thought you were going to ask about our first impression of our SOs when I read the title. I originally thought he was kinda creepy... long hair, goatee, always sitting in the corner of the room doing something on his laptop... Creepy.
But what really impressed me about my FI was how easy it was to talk to him. Conversations always felt so forced and awkward to me when I first starting dating people. But for some reason conversations always flowed so smoothly with him. Hours would go by and it felt like minutes!
Also he is a computer whiz and took some seriously destructive viruses off my laptop in a matter of minutes. :D He's my hero.
Well beyond the actual FIRST impression (which was holy crap he's so gorgeous!), a few weeks after we met, he drove 8 hours to see me and met my entire family. Brave soul!
I'm with TinyTina, my first impression of my FI wasn't the best, or the worst. We met randomly so didn't know a thing about each other on our first date. He was being a little vague when I asked questions. I fully understand why now, but it was confussing at first and I didn't know if he was lying or what. I did think he was cute and easy to talk to and expected him to be a fun summer fling - but because of his job (I was being a snob) I didn't think there was anyway it would turn into more.
First thing that impressed me was how sweet he was and how into me he was. He texted me after the first date, late at night telling me how much fun he had. Our first date was Friday, he went out of town for the weekend and I had other stuff going on, Sunday night he texted me asking to go out again on Monday night. No playing games, no wondering if he liked me or not, he was upfront and straightforward and I LOVED spending time with him. I still do :)
We actually met at a party, his best friend/ best man in our wedding is very... ugh.. stupid. He always tries to make the guys do really dumb things when everyone is drinking etc. (He really needs to just act his age) But all of the guys were just doing whatever he said, this guy was just calling the shots, and my FI didnt. Just flat out told him no and he was being stupid. It may not sounds like much, but I knew right then and there that he was smart, knew when was enough and had enough backbone to stick up for himself.
I bumped my head really hard the day he met my parents, and my parents were in the room (I hit it on a cabinet). My mom laughed, but it hurt really bad, and without saying anything he sat me on his lap and rubbed my head in front of my parents! It was so cute and my mom later said that it made her feel bad b/c he was so serious that I smacked myself and she didn't even flinch! From that day on, he always was really serious about me getting hurt. It was just so sweet and made me gain trust in him.
hmmm, well, coming from a very volatile relationship, I think what impressed me with my guy was his incredible kindness. I wasn't used to being treated so gentle and sweet. (might sound corny) I also remember one of the first times I stayed over at his place, he had to work the next day so when I woke up he had drawn me this little picture with the sun coming up and a rooster crowing. The picture also said "good morning beautiful". he he
His butt.... jk ;) I DO remember noticing he had a great one, though! haha.
He was silly. Not afraid to be utterly stupid to get a laught out of me. One of my first impressions was him driving by me on our university campus.... trying to be awkward/creepy and leaning out of his car window to pretend to 'shoot' me with his fingers shaped like a gun and then drive away.
That certainly made an impression!
Not to mention he was one of the sweetest/oddest/funniest guys I knew at the time.
Well, when I first met my boyfriend, I was relatively unimpressed, to be honest. He had piercings and tattoos and smoked. The piercings and tattoos were new to me but I didn't care. The smoking was always something I said I would never tolerate. BUT the very first time we met, we were already finishing each other's sentences and we just clicked like I had never clicked with anyone before.
I had just gotten out of a long-term, terrible relationship and my boyfriend was just an extremely nice guy. It was something I wasn't used to and I was just impressed by how sweet he was.
On a happy note, after a year and a half of dating, my boyfriend has finally quit smoking. :D
These are so cute! I think the thing that really impressed me was my DH's ability to talk to adults, particularly my dad. Most guys are terrified of my dad, but my husband just walked over to him and could carry a conversation...for hours! It was unheard of in my family, but my guy was totally not phased by my serious, protective daddy! :-)
we met in high school and the day after we started talking he bought me tiramisu he had made (i had told him it was my favorite) and he was also so polite. He wasn't the typical teenage boy at all. Now he's a chef and still so sweet to me
I had a sudden, emotional crisis, and although his own nasty situation, he went out of his way to help and care for me.
I thought he was really cute and I was majorly attracted to his soccer skills. Everything about him just drew me in in those first few days of dating :)
Oh man! so many things! I definitely liked how nice and outgoing he was from the start! Though the biggest thing happened after we had been hanging out as friends for about a month, a few days before we started dating. I lived 45 minutes away from him in a tiny town. He came out to my town on a sunday with a friend to go to church, drove his friend back, drove back out to study with me. Then we decided to make cookies, so we drove back to where he lived to get ingredients (my town didn't even have a grocery store yet haha), back to my place to make them, then at the end of the night he drove on back home. So that was what, making the 45 minute drive 6 times in one day? Yep, I was definitely impressed! haha
He was there for me when I was crying about another boy. He was just wonderful to me and he wasnt even trying to show the other guy up. I had worked with my SO before we started dating and he was super shy but the SWEETEST guy I have ever met. I was so used to complicated guys! He was a much-needed breath of fresh air!
The very first thing that impressed me was my SO's incredible drive, ambition and career path. He is only in his mid 20s and owns several, multi million dollar companies. It wasn't the $$ that impressed me--it was his work ethic and overall "go get 'em" outlook on life. After dating THE slug of all slugs before meeting him (a guy who probably only wanted to get involved with my family for $$) I couldn't help but love the fact that I had finally met a man whose vision and drive matched mine. I felt like...WOW I have finally met a man who is smart, successful, passionate, driven and hardworking...just like my father. And the more we have grown in our relationship, the more impressed I become with the strong, loving man of character that he is.
@retreadbride: My SO changed a tire too...on our first date! Not in the rain and mud though :/
But he caught a flat tire on our first date and got out and changed it. Then proceeded to take me out. That was all it took.
Haha, I saw my FI at work before we had even met. I was like-whoa! Who is the hot new guy? The thing that really got me was his dimples. :) Then he came to fix my computer and I thought he had an awesome sense of humor and was really sweet.
We met when we were younger but that was just because he was friends with my brother. In high school we really met and started to hang out a lot. He was 2 grades above me. He was super sweet and the first time he kissed me, he was really nervous about it. It was so cute. One of my absolute favorite things about him was learning that he's not the kind of person who has to always be talking. We would spend hours just laying on my trampoline looking at the stars. It was great, I loved it. To this day, we still just sit in comfortable silence with each other.

What first impressed you about your man?
I was editing photos and one reminded me of the first thing MM did that impressed me. He changed a tire, in the mud, in the rain without complaint. I had never seen a man do that before—call AAA- yes, bitch and moan- yes, have me help-yes, get assistance from another motorist- yes. But not – look at it- shrug- and just fix it. I swooned;)
