When we first met and on our first date he was such a gentleman, very smart, sweet, a little shy, and so cute! Our first date lasted almost 8 hours! We didn't want it to end. He walked me home and didn't even kiss me goodnight- which was so polite and cute.

Our first date was so cute. He took me to the most awful Italian restaurant ever, and then to a Comedy Show. Afterwards we went for a walk on the river. It was so romantic. We didn't stay out terribly late that night, cause it was a Thursday. But the next night, he was Emcee-ing a show downtown and invited me out. We were out until 4am and we've been together almost every single day since.
He was so charming, so cute. And so reserved. He didn't kiss me that first night either. But the next night, under the full moon and the railroad tracks...wow... I get goosebumps just thinking about it!
I just remember I couldn't get over how darn cute he was. Then, of course, I found out so much more about him and I was hooked :)
I love this thread! Can't wait to read what others have to say.
So we didn't start dating until four years after we met. Apparently he had a crush on me from day one though...but I had no idea. We were sort of friends, and I was attracted to him and just generally liked being around him. But he was always very strange and awkward if it was just the two of us. So I assumed that he was trying to signal his lack of interest. Turns out he was just crazy shy (which I never would have guessed and is generally totally unlike him). Glad he eventually got over that enough to fly to Patagonia, seriously, to go backpacking with me...and he still didn't tell me that it was about anything other than the mountains until a week into the trip! Until then it was actually pretty hard for me b/c I was getting to know him better than I ever had, and every new thing I found out made him seem more perfect for me.
We've pretty much been hooked since then. At that point we lived far apart, but even LD I don't think we ever went a day without talking. It tooks us a few years to get engaged, but I'm pretty sure both of us knew within about 2 days of that trip.
When me met, I hate to say it, but I was expecting someone much less good looking from horrible pictures I had been shown. So initially I was like, WOW, he's pretty good looking. Then, when we started talking, I realized he was such an intelligent and caring person. Then, what got me hook line and sinker is that he's so determined, passionate, and one of the most caring people I have ever met in my entire life. Like Mrs. Bee's first date, our first meeting was like a fireworks show.
I love him because I have always, always been able to be 100% myself with him. Not that I typically changed for other guys, but there was never anything I kept from him, never anything I don't say around him, never a tear I hide, or a laughter I muffle. I am everything I want to be and more when I'm with him -- cause he brings out the best in me.
Even when we were friends (after we dated briefly) he was alwyas someone that I could talk to, and I know he felt the same way. His mother was sick with cancer (she's cancer free for 5 years now!!) and he always called me just to talk, not often, once every 3, 4 months, and he was just someone who got me. After our "second first date" it wasn't a question that he was someone I knew I would spend the rest of my life with.
WOW cheesy! I miss him so much right now!!
AW! I love this question!
Let's see, when I first saw him I was attracted to his blue eyes cause they were mesmerizing and SOO blue.
But seriously? The deal-breaker? When we had our first 'outing' with him, me, and his best friend. He stuffed his best friend in his backseat full of junk and I MEAN junk, and we were driving back from the mall, he started playing his cds in the car and it had Whitney Houston, and Shania Twain.
I knew it was love when he and his best friend belted out to Whitney Houston's "I will always love you" without any shame. I knew then and there that I like him. And I can be sily with him. That's pretty important to me!
Like fizicsGirl, I had also known my FI for a couple of years before we started dating. He was one of the managers at my college bookstore, where I worked for all of college. We spent a lot of time together, obviously, and would talk a lot during the slow parts of the day. He was funny, good-looking, smart, and so much nicer about everything than the other managers. I always thought he was older than he is (even though he's still 8 yrs older than I am), so when I found out how old he actually was (27 when we started dating, to my 19), I was surprised, and thought, "Well, he's not THAT much older..."
After we'd known each other about a year, I started to feel really physically attracted to him, too. When we started dating, he was visibly nervous around me and even seemed intimidated by me, which blew my mind. On our first date, it took him about 3/4 of the length of a movie to attempt to hold my hand! We already knew so much about each other because of being friends, and the emotional connection was obvious. The physical part moved right along after that. :-)
He has curly orange hair, and we were able to have really easy conversations. And he's big and strong! Plus, when I first met him he told me he had a job I'd never heard of (golf professional) so I wanted to find out more about it. 
I knew him for a while before we started dating. I loved how open and honest he was (he would talk about anything). I also thought he was very polite (a gentleman) and a real cutie pie too 
.
Oh man, I'll try to keep this short and sweet. I've known his since I was 11, he taught me how to sneak out of my parents house (to go hang out with him and his friend josh who i was totally crushing for then). We always hung out in the same group - he didn't like me cuz he thought I was bitchy and bossy, I didn't like him cuz he was a stupid car guy and thought his you know what didn't stink. He was a year ahead of me in school, and I only saw him a handful of times in the next 4 years. Then I went to a party to hang out with some other people and he ended up being there, we both had just gotten out of serious relationships, so we bonded over their horribleness. Its been almost 5 years now, and I can't imagine life without him.
Why I love him now? He's super sweet, my best friend is now one of his best friends, and my family calls him their son in law already. He loves me, even with all my many imperfections (I still am bitchy and bossy, just not as much). Plus hes HAWT!!! I daydream about him all the time when I'm not with him
He was tall, really tall. I was 16, 5'8 and tired of guys who were shorter than me. He walked by, all 6 foot 4 inches of him and that was it. And now I can wear heels :)

He is the kindest person I've ever known, and he always brings out the best in me. He makes me a better person, and I love him for it!
I wasn't attracted to him at first, but his kindness eventually won me over.
When we had our first date, I remember sitting beside him in the restaurant and thinking "wow. I didn't notice he had such blue eyes before". We talked for a long while, and he was so damn intelligent and interesting. Before dinner was over, the butterflies in my stomach were taking flight!
After that we went and saw a movie. During the movie, he put his arm around me and I got shivers up my spine! I never thought I'd feel that again. But I did.
After the movie, the goodnight kiss was innocent but enough to make me melt as he walked me to the car.
That was our last first date we'd ever go on again. Rest history.
We met at a Greek event in college. He was in a fraternity and I was in a sorority. Our groups were forced to exchange greetings. He shook my hands and smiled the most mesmerizing smile I've ever seen. Our first covnersation was focused on food, food and food. We both enjoyed the same types of foods. He asked for my number but wasn't able to save it since his cellphone was dead. I took his number down instead.
A few days later, I called him up and asked for his IM screenname. I knew guys weren't phone friendly. Anyways, after a few weeks of non-stop flirting, we finally went out for our first date.
He took me to a late lunch at our favorite noodle house, then to the park. He practically memorized everything about me--he knew I loved going to the park at night. We played on the swings and talked. Then he drove me to the beach where we proceeded to freeze. He held me in his arms to warm me up. I was trying to chase some baby birds and when I looked at him, he pointed to the sand where he had drawn a heart.
Since then, we've been inseparable. We have a 60-mile distance between us, but it hasn't stopped us.
He was a friend of a friend who I always thought was cute, but shy and kind of awkward. Finally one night, I noticed how funny he was. He was wearing aviator sunglasses, an old "Shalom" t-shirt and had great hair, and when he asked me to sit in his lap, I couldn't resist...
He's still pretty awkward, but now it might be my favorite thing about him. Sigh.
His sense of humor! I'm usually so shy around people when I first meet them, but Mr. J put me right at ease. It was like we were old friends right away-- and he had me cracking up all the time. It was (and is) the greatest feeling :)
His icy blue eyes took my breath away.....literally. I couldn't concentrate on anything he was saying to me....when I finally caught my breath, I couldn't believe how intelligent and hilarious this man was and how much we had in common!! I joked with him and asked him where he'd been all my life....he replied "waiting for you"
The man still takes my breath away........
First appearances: he is quite handsome and dresses extremely well. I deeply appreciate boys who actually care about what they wear. He pulls off pink WAY better than I do :) I saw a picture of him in a sweater vest with a tie and button down looking like a GQ model before we met and knew he was something special.
But in terms of personality, he challenged me intellectually, which was extremely refreshing. We started off our friendship with lots of political and philosophical debates. I thought I was good at debating, but he put me to shame :) He also has a similar sense of somewhat sarcastic, cynical humor. I was told my freshman year of college that I was "intimidating" because of a combination of my sense of humor and intellectualism. Rather than placing me in the "one of the boys" category because of this (an issue I had often run into), he thought these were great qualities in me. He also has the most serious moral compass of anyone I've ever met. It can occasionally be frustrating, but it's amazing how staunch he is in his convinctions. It's certainly made me a better person. And finally, he was not at all afraid to be silly. One of our favorite things to do was go and hang out on the boardwalk in Santa Cruz, making sea lion noises (with the resident sea lions). He gave me a stuffed sea lion for our first Christmas together. We had a lot of ridiculous, funny moments together.

The first thing that got me was his personality, he was so much more confident and mature than all of the guys I'd been seeing, even though he's the same age. But, the take-my-breath-away-he's-really-hot moment came on our second date, mountain biking, when he was casually riding some section of trail that I was staring at and thinking was really difficult. For general appearance, his most attractive feature is his wonderfully thick dark brown hair.
What first attracted me and made my head turn...I'd say her smile and the way she laughs. She'll do something goofy and laugh a laugh that is so contagious, it just captures the room's attention.
First date and first kiss.She actually invited me on a first date to a company social event and we were the only ones there representing her company. It was a dinner and silent auction. Overall a pretty boring date. anyway, we got back to her place. We basically talked till 3am and by then i was super super tired but I made myself vow not to leave without kissing her for the evening.. after i ran out of things to say and to avoid that weird awkwardness, I just went in, pulled her in by the waist and planted one right on her..she ended up falling back..slamming into the wall and holding the kiss.. afterwards, i said good night and went home .
like Miss chocolate chip His height was what got me.. when we first met he was shy and smiled at me and walked away... he was soo cute though..all timid. the next week we went bowling and he asked me to go for a walk. We have been inseperable since then going on five years.. i was 16 and he was 20 when we met and to top it off im super short and he's mr tall... haha 5'1 me 6'3 him.. but his smile made me melt.. his humor...everything...i love reading these:)

This is a good section. My dear can dance! We danced for hours when we met and made a date for the next day for the Baltimore Zoo. The Zoo was just opening for the season, so mind you in was freezing here in Baltimore.
We walked around the Zoo for hours like it was a summer day. He was so sweet the whole time, held my hand through the park and we took tons of photos. Then went to eat at at a local Mexican place in Hampden. After that it was like clockworks and we did everything together. Fishing, hiking,visiting friends, festivals everything!
He's great!
I think the best word for it is to say it was his confidence. We met when my roommates, bf-at-the-time, and I went to the game room in our UC. He was down there with his roommates (this was the first week of college, when you do everything with your roomies cause you don't know anyone else!), and we all just kind of hung out. He was funny, smart, and so cute! And he was completely unafraid to act like an idiot, which is great! As we left he made some smart-alec comment and I flipped him off, he retorted with "when and where?" Not romantic, but it made me laugh! And it *really* pissed off my then-boyfriend, because he claimed "he really meant it!" The then-boyfriend repeatedly told my my FH just "wanted in my pants" but I guess he was wrong! ^_^
