Weddingbee boards

I always fell for the guys that had dark, thick hair, and dark eyes, with a sun tan (from working outside) Not skinny skinny, but not overweight (though I never had a problem with overweight people, I'm not exactly thin myself) I liked the country guys because some of them I found to be more down to earth.

When I first met FI, I dreaded seeing him pull up to my place of work. He liked the loud thumping music, he was in the middle of his senior year in highschool; late 2005. I had been graduated from high school for over a year and a half, so I was "more mature". (Of course, you know that girls tend to mature faster than guys; lol) He was loud.

FI is a country boy, but as far as physically. He's a little on the heavy side, fair skinned, light hair (that's thinning on top), and green eyes. I love the eyes, I could just get lost looking into them. And his weight, never bothered me. I guess I fell for him, because he wasn't perfect. The way I see it, there's more for me to love. (And he keeps me warm when its cold)

And I always joked with my family saying that I was going to marry an Irish redneck.  They said good luck on that one. And guess what, not only is FI a "country boy", but his family originated from Ireland. LOL!

I'm not sure i nessicarily have a type, but FH is both different and the same from the otehrs i have dated. He is quiet and soft spoken but gives off this bad-a$$ edge. But when you get past that he is the most sweetest, intelligent guys you could ever meet. Appearence-wise i always went for the punk-rocker; mohawk, tight,black clothing, piercings,tats but FH is the complete polar opposite,lol, baggy jeans, his shirt matches his shoes, his hair is either perfectly gelled or he wears a hat. And best of all. . .he "gets" me, he can completley penetrate the walls i put up and well. . . i love him. . .lol obviously

He was definitely NOT my type. We met online dating and he has told me over and over again how he kept reading my profile and thinking that there was nothing in "what I wanted in a partner" that he fit with. He sent me winks, smiles, ecards-you name it. I clicked on his profile, we started chatting-and a year and several months later-we are engaged! :) I would have never met David if I hadn't stepped outside my box-he is everything I never knew I always wanted. So romantic (to the point that my friends say he is romantically cheesy-lol-and I LOVE it!) so tender, so willing to make it absolutely clear about how he feels about me-he adores my kids and they adore him, we fit, we work...and I would have never known it.

he was so not my type... I had never dated a man with blonde hair, blue eyes, older, etc etc... I went on the date .. my first reaction to his photo was "eh.. not bad.. after a long string of bad dates .. it's an evening out"  Well... he turned out to be everything I wanted. He is humble, fun, corny, family oriented, hard worker, loving... everything I needed and had never found before!

I voted for sort of. I like tall, dark and handsome. My SO is taller than that, darker than that and handsome(but not my original type handsome)!

Funny thing is, before I met him and when I was dating and searching for a relationship, I drew some pictures of what my future relationship would look like with a face of my future SO for the sake of law of attraction. One year into our relationship I looked back at it and was like WOW! Our relationship and he looked VERY SIMILAR to my drawings!

My "type" apparently was brunette, tan skin, and sort of exotic because that was all I dated. My FI has strawberry blonde hair, fair skin, and very German. Far from my "type", but I can't imagine myself with anyone else! He's my new type :)

As far as personality?  Every last bit.  Motivated, career-focused, romantic, considerate,  funny, charming.  He's got it all :).

As for looks...Well, my type has always been tall dark and handsome.  He's handsome, and has amazing thick, black wavy hair and really dark brown eyes and basically looks like Eric from the Little Mermaid...if Eric was 5"4.  Yes, he's short, and yes, I'm taller (5"6) and we get a LOT of jokes about it from our families and friends.  It bugged me on our first date (I figured I'd never see him again when I first got out of the car and saw him...it didn't help I was wearing my tallest heels!) but after that I just fell in love with who he was and that was it...but I'll be barefoot at our wedding nonetheless ;)

Lookswise, yes. I have always love muscular, broad-shouldered men with blue eyes and lighter hair. He has that rugged, country boy thing going and I've always been into that :)

Personality-wise...it's hard to explain. He is nothing like I THOUGHT I wanted, but everything I want now. I have always liked intelligent, well-read men who are into art. Sensitive types, who are very showy in their affection. My SO likes camping and football and would rather chop down a tree than read a book. We are SO different, but somehow it works! We always joke, because whenever we go out, he's in dirt-stained carharts with a tee shirt and camo hat, while I'm usually dressed to the nines :P

I never really had a type :)
