For me it was how smart he is and his faith. I loved how candid he was about what he wanted in his future and he was able to express himself openly and freely. I have always been more reserved and private and found his freedom of self disclosure appealing.

ok, now i feel shallow ..I liked his face, long legs and his buttocks ;)
And the fact that he was nice, helpful, and good at fixing things (like my cd player)

What a cute couple you two make!

I found my dh mostly physically attractive at first and then I got to know him and found him to be sensitive, caring, easy to talk to.....a real sweetheart!:toothy:

I thought he seemed so kind and generous. He was discreet but so sweet and thoughtful.

Sara, y'all are such a cute couple! What first attracted me to my dh was his looks. I'm shallow , but when I looked into his big beautiful, blue eyes, I was a goner.:D He is a spittin' image of the actor, Jeff Daniels. Twenty years later, I still think he's a hunk!

My DH has a great sense of humor and keeps me in stitches. We laugh all the time, and it's great because I love to laugh and so does he. All the other stuff fell into place. We're soulmates. :hugz:

Well, I will have to say at first it was his good looks... :laugh: we knew each other for 5 years, but never said one single word to each other....then there was a chance meeting and the rest is history....lol...

Once I got to know him, its how well we get along and have fun..he is so fun to be around, he is a GREAT husband, caring, sensitive....just a all around great guy!!

Here's a picture of us on our wedding day:

What first attracted me to him? GRAVITY! :D

I was running down a ramp, came around a corner and ran smack into him- knocked him flat. I told him if he wanted a proper apology to follow me, otherwise "GET OUT OF MY WAY!" 2 years later we were married.

He loves to tell everyone that I knocked him off his feet the first time he saw me ;)

Definitely my dh's good looks. He was voted "Best looking" in school, and he definitely deserved it! I can't believe that he chose me out of all the girls there. Because, I was certainly not the best looking girl! lol

Definitely his smile and his "soft" eyes.

Mine wore me down!!! 2 years of "Someday we will be together" and me saying shut up! Eventually it happened. But I always found him handsome and sweet and kinda dopey.

My SO has brown curly hair and light blue eyes. He wore his hair short when I first met him, but the past two years he's grown it out. He has a pony tail, and when he wears his ray bans he looks like an assassin!!! RRROOOOOWWWWRRRRRRLLLLLL

I love my DH's laugh. It is the best laugh and he has the cutest smile. He is warm, gentle, loving and sweet. He is my best friend and the man I was born to marry.

Oh gosh do I have to pick just one thing?

His sense of humor, the fact that we have the same values, his kindness, his intellegence, and lastly he is SO darn cute. LOL!

The adoring attention he paid to me like there was no one else in the world around except me and him. It was so flattering!:D

Dh's smile, and his eyes. Got my attention, and has kept it!

I would say his smile and personality. DH is very outgoing and never meets a stranger where as I am much quieter and take longer to get to know someone. It always fascinates me how at ease he is around people. Plus he isn't too hard on the eyes either.

Hmmmm.........great question! I am going to say his intelligence. Dh knows something about everything. Can I have two? Because dh's kindness also swept me off my feet:fdance:

Dh is a hockey player...he's really big and really solid and strong. The thing that attracted me to him at first is that even though he is this overwhelmingly physically intimidating man, he is the most gentle man that ever existed. He has this heart that is so pure and sweet, and he would never hurt a fly. Now, after all these years, watching him with our little girl brings tears to my eyes, because I know that there is no place safer for her than in her daddy's arms. I also have to add that he is, by far, the most intelligent man I've ever met. He's just...brilliant. Not your typical hockey player, to say the least!

What a little umm perdicament I am in. heh I don't have an SO at the moment. I am talking to someone and if I must saywhat first attracted me towards him, well it was his Vocabulary.

I know this sounds amazingly weird but the man has an extensive vocabulary and a way with words that left me awe struck. He is very intelligent.

My Ex, well He also has a way with words and is highly intelligent[ what can I say I love a man with a large brain] What first attracted me to him was his ability to spar with me. We went back and fourth with little sarcastic witty remarks and it was wonderful.

He is a looker too. So so good looking. lol.
