I met DH when I was 17 when his suburb moved into my cong's territory. Wasn't interested at all, not my type. Lived on next block, same church, same gym we were great friends since there wasn't any interest on my part anyway, we really got to know each other warts and all without reservation. Finally decided would give him a chance at 19, we were engaged 6 months later. Married 5 months after that. Didn't live together etc due to our religious values. Been very happily married for over 4 years now. Also, I still lived with my parents when we got married, and for that matter, his mother had moved down into the area and moved in with he and his flatmate before we started dating as well
