I actually tried to avoid my husband when I first met him. Although, the second I laid eyes on him something told me that he would be significant to me in some way...
He tried to get me to go out with him for a whole year before I agreed to. He asked me out successfully on a day that I had just gotten over food poisoning, had no makeup on and a huge zit on my chin...I was powerless to say no to a nice guy that would ask me out under those circumstances. The date was actually a month later (we both went out of town on vacations - it was the summer), but the sparks then were amazing.
You really never know.
(But then he still might eff up your laundry...see my laundry thread
