Ok well I just answered a how did you meet your partner question but here the question is what attracted you...
Well for me I think it was just he was treating me like me, also a little flirtish... :)
He was unemployed at the time we met so we had plenty of time to spend together being I was a traveler and made my own rules... :)

I think it was when he hardly knew me and knew I was only supposed to be staying at his house for two weeks and he offered to lend me some money to buy some winter boots because my feet were cold...  (I was not ready for a Canadian winter when I arrived.)  I mean here is a guy that was offering to lend me money when I could have skipped the country and not paid him back.. But he trusted me... And I liked that... Among other things... :)

I actually met E online through a friend. I was at uni studying Indonesian at the time and I needed some help with my homework. My friend L said that he had a friend who was in Malaysia who might be able to help me.

It turned out that E had only been in Malaysia for a few weeks prior to our first online chat, so I'm not sure why L introduced me to E!!!

E & I actually ended up hating each other online... but I mentioned that I was going with a bunch of girl friends to Malaysia, and we reluctantly agreed to meet  I said I would meet cos I felt bad about saying no to meeting up because if E asked why not, I didn't want to say, "because you're really weird". lol

Any way, we met at a theme park in Malaysia that was near E's house. E thought I was really rude... I didn't actually want to talk to E. I was probably also nervous too.

But then my friend F wanted to go shopping so I asked E to join us. Surprisingly E agreed... and then E and I found out we had loads in common and totally hit it off. And I found E wasn't that weird after all....

Brad and I were friends of friends who decided we would be good together. We had been at parties before, but not taken much notice of each other. So they organised a picnic for the 4 of us. I was working at a seafood supplier so got the prawns for lunch. Went to a beautiful spot by the creek, got smashed on cheap cask wine, went back to their place and spent the night! WOW! 16 years and 3 kids later. What attracted him to me was the fact that I didn't care what anyone thought of me or my behaviour (I was apparently trying to catch little fish in the creek with my bare hands. I don't remember a thing of it).

I think it is a great first impression... The first night Stephen took me out, he walks out in a towel, stood behind me and told me not to look while he got dressed.  Well of course I had to sneak a peak - he reckons that was his signal to GO. 

Great question - I am loving all the answers - they are so fun to read.

 

i was at a friends place for a b'day party for another friend, everyone was excited cause they were also catching up with an old friend from school that none of them had seen in years, well he (hubby) and i got talking we ended up staying up talking until the wee hours of the morning and then ended up having breakfast together, and we have been together ever since, its now been almost 4years since that party, and the now ex friend still claims that if it wasn't for her we woudn't be together, just so you know she had nothing to do with it, lol

have a great  weekend everyone

hugs and kisses

I met my hubby at a Cajun Dance. I thought he was the weirdest, clumsiest, most socially inept man I had ever had the misfortune to be dumped with. I had gone to the dance at a friends insistance. He was on a climbing weekend and been dragged along by his buddy. Our friends hit it off and we were left to get on with it. I spent twenty minutes having a one sided conversation, while he spent it trying to upright all the drinks he kept knocking over. I realised this was going to be a long evening, I did not want to be there,but I was chief driver. So I thought, right make the best of this kid, dance the night away. So I trawled this poor terrified chap onto the dance floor and got the shock of my life. Blow me  down if he was not the best dancer ever, and the guy could'nt shut up turned out we had loads in commom and shared the same interests. By the end of the evening we were best buds. Turned out he had Aspergers, which caused him socially to gaff and an inability to show empathy. Two years later in 1999 we married. To me and our children he is the most caring, thoughtful, funny, socially inept and clumsiest geek we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We love him to bits.

I met mine briefly one year at Bathurst when we were working with the helicopter flights.  I was up there with a mate of mine, and I vaguely remember thinking - 'cor he's hot and he has the best smile - wish I was younger'.  We got along ok, however I never thought of him again, as I was sure he was still in high school or something - he was too friendly and funny to be older.

The next year I was standing in the field the helicopters land in, and this shadow came across the sun, then a large figure on a mountain bike nearly bowled me over, and swung round behind me.  I swung round with my fist clenched and looked into these massive baby blues, and this huge grinning smile.  This cute guy was there, framed by the sun looking all angelic, talking a mile a minute to stop me from going off.  He seemed to know my friend's, and acted like he knew me. 

He asked me what I was doing that night - I said staying home with my friend's (I only flew up that day after a BIG night out and forgot to bring any money or a key card).  He said, you're coming out with me - I'll pick you up at 8... I was like yeah sure, if you make it on time, I'll come out...  Well we went out, at about 1am, I was looking at his licence and realised that he lied about his age, and suddenly I went - OMG, I KNOW you... He was like yes, of course you do, and I said no, we met last year - he thought that I had known who he was all along - wrong.

Well that ended up being a date for the entire weekend, and the last 4 years - that is how I got my toy boy (who is turning 26 in a couple of weeks - he thought he was turning 27 LOL!).

My hubby and i met in 1999 on a chat program called ICQ. He random me and i just quickly added him to my chat lounge i had up. I didnt really pay much attention to him at first...lol.... i was busy chatting with other ppl. Though the next day we properly introduced ourselves to each other and hit it off from there. I cant believe we chatted for hours long on the weekends. Eventually we had the courage to talk on the phone. Funny how we talk on the phone for hours then hang up and quickly got on the computer and started chatting more...lol... In 2000 he flew over from Holland to Australia to meet and spent a romantic 3 week holiday together... It was so sad when he had to go back home... the 3 weeks went by so quick... to shorten things here as i can go into detail heaps...lol.... 2001 we got married, 2002 we had our first baby, 2005 we had our second baby and now 2007 unfortunately our marriage started falling apart in June after i miscarried *sigh*....... there is my happy life that i know it.... Destiny has brought us together, now destiny is testing us... i hope we do pass the test...

i met my wife in a nightclub ,she was showing everyone the tatoo on her bum,i'll let you guess what attracted me to her

My fiance and i met online...after one week chating on line, we used the phone and 2 weeks after that i was on a flight interstate to meet this stranger, stayed there 10 days and on the ninth day her asked me to marry him... i flew home the next day, he visited me 3 weeks later, met the kids, stayed only 4 days, i then flew back to him 3 weeks after that and we drove back to my home and thats were we have lived together for 10 months... now he has gone back to is home state and i will be following in the coming weeks.... phew, what a wirl wind 13 months.... And i have not regreted on bit of it...

but if anyone had told me that i would have done this 18 months ago, i would have said not hardly.... thats to risky... you never know who you met on line... Now i have realized life is far to short to give something a chance....

I love him to pieces and we plan to marry in december 07 or january 08.... Can't wait....

We met online on a Reptiles - as - pets group.... we talked for months everynite, then met in person on halloween 2003. We got married on Halloween 2004. 

I met my hubby when I was 14 when we worked together at the video shop. He asked me out when I was 16 but I already had a boyfriend so I told him to ask me again next week so I could ditch the boy I was with lol. We got married in 99' so have been together for 14 yrs...god, u get less for murder!!

I met my husband about 10 years ago at Church activity for Young Single Adults. He was a chatterbox that night. (He still loves to chat)
A year later he started visiting me at my house and we spent time together as friends. Soon we fell in love and married in April 1999.
 I am in love with him!

I made a promise to three backpackers that I would visit them in their own country...
I finally made good on that promise and one of them was sharing an apartment with my husband.... They asked if he would help come and pick me up from the airport because he had the bigger car and they all wanted to come and pick me up..

So I guess you could say my hubby literally picked me up at the airport...

I moved in and never moved out..

I met mine on ICQ, I had borrowed my ex-bro-in-law's computer for a few days and his girlfriend knew that I used his ICQ list and added her cousin to the list - I had no idea of this fact-, his first words to me were "Who are you and what the *&^% are you doing on my computer?"  lmao.  We chatted for ages that night and once or twice over the next few weeks when all of a sudden I got a phone call saying that he was coming to meet me (he lived about 4 hours away) and we hit it off big time, we were both in tears on the Sunday afternoon when he had to go home.  I spent the next 3 months going between the 2 cities and as soon as my lease was up I moved to his.  We will have been a couple for 7 years in January next year, and we will have been married for 5 years in November this year......Now I'm feeling all mushy and need to go find him and give him a snuggle lol

We met on a dating website,  neither of us could be bothered to go out and about eg Pubs to meet people.  We chatted, and  later met, we went to the movies I chose but got the time wrong LOL  So we ended up having coffee and chatting untill the movie came on.  Well that was 7 years ago...

Chris and I met through a friend (No longer a friend i will add) at TAFE I was doing an Art degree and he was Doing Fitting and Machining (I will add he is very good at it and has a few engines that he made on display at home) He came into the Art block and I was complaining that my boyfriend at the time was crap in bed. LOL, I was in a pink nighty and jeans and i think my grey cardi, he was in his blue's. I saw his, this cute longish curly hair (had a thing for long hair) guy walk over and we started chating about heaps of stuff and before I new it he was coming every day for lunch chatting to us. I finally got the guts to dum my abusive BF and we chatted more and at a friends place we had this huge piss up and he asked my out. I am Chris's First and am hoping only. (our starting to date ann 4/8/2000 and wedding 8/9/2001) we were engange a few months later and now 7 years later still together with 2 beautiful kids.

Oh BTW I hate our ann cause of 9/11

We were actually penpals.  When we first me, we couldn't be with out each other.

We met through work when we were about 18, I thought he was an idiot that googled at me everytime I saw him, so my first impressions were not good lol after 3 yrs of him chasing me, one Friday night I had nothing better to do so I went out for drinks with him.....  out of work I saw him in a different way and by the end of the night I knew I never wanted to be without him.... 16 yrs and 3 kids later we are still going strong x

 i met mick on a blind date, that i arranged through his sister, but when i first saw him i thought he was my sils father, and crawled back in my box when she said no her dad had passed on , oops...
