12 Men Share The First Thought They Had When Meeting Their Future Wife

“Boy, this girl is really pretty. She’d never be into me. Better not try to fall for her.” — max-peck

“My friends, who were friends with my now wife, told me that she had asked them about me after she saw me at a party. I didn’t see her at that party, but the next time we were all together my friends said, ‘There’s that girl that was asking about you last week.’ My first thought was that they were making fun of me (I’m not the most social guy) so I’d go talk to this girl that was crazy beautiful. But I went up and talked to her and she was the coolest person ever.” — hatecopsandcats

“She’s out of my league. After 3.5 years of marriage I still feel that way. I’m not sure how I hoodwinked her, but I’ve somehow managed to keep the charade going.” — Calculatosaurus

“Her boyfriend is a fucking tool. Luckily she realized that herself not long after and now she’s stuck with me until she realizes how much of a tool I am. It’s the circle of life.” — ask_me_if_Im_lying

“The first time I laid eyes on my future wife she was coming down the stairs of the music building wearing a short plaid skirt. I thought she had great legs.” — MangledPumpkin

“That beautiful girl is looking at me. All right! Win for me! Holy shit, she’s walking over. HOLY SHIT SHE IS WALKING OVER TO TALK TO ME! JESUS CHRIST, CLOSE YOUR MOUTH! THINK OF SOMETHING COOL TO SAY! OH MY GOD DID SHE JUST SAY SOMETHING? SHE DID! AND YOU WEREN’T LISTENING! DON’T FUCK THIS UP BECAUSE OF YOUR INNER MONOLOGUE. OH MY GOD HOW HAVE I NOT RESPONDED YET?! SAY SOMETHING! SAY ANYTHING!” — SmokinPolecat

“When I was introduced to my (future) wife, in college, I was just absolutely struck with a feeling of how beautiful I thought she was, and how amazing she was. I had dated a fair number of girls in high school and college and thought I was totally immune from being head over heels for someone. I found out in an instant that I was wrong. My mouth went dry and my heart felt like it was beating twice as hard as usual. No joke. I’m not bullshitting when I say I feel the same way today (30 years later!) when I see her, especially if I’ve been away for a few days on business. I know she’s gotten older, but I still see the same face I saw back then, and it makes me so happy, every time. Sorry if that’s too sappy, but I’m an incredibly lucky person.” — DimiDrake

“Oh god, there’s that girl that talks all the time to every single person. Oh god, she’s getting on the elevator with me. She’s going to talk to me. Oh god, it’s just the two of us. Oh god, here it goes. I have to make actual conversation.” — Quick_Over_There

“She walked into my brother’s wedding reception with my female cousin. I turned to my cousin next to me and asked if we were related to her. He said no. I told him I was going to get me some of that. Married for almost six years now.” — MDeCoste

“She’s super hot, I wonder what’s wrong with her…” — john_eh

“Can she really be as awkward as I feel? Right after I asked her to buy me an Americano because my wallet wasn’t in my usual pocket and I thought I’d left it at home. I spent the rest of the date, after we sat down, trying not to notice my wallet poking my butt on the wrong side.” — mellow_gecko

“Weird. I just realized I don’t remember my first thought about my wife when I met her. I do remember coming home from that first date and telling my roommate I think I just met the woman I’m going to marry. That was pretty cool.” — OPs_Mom_and_Dad
