Might as well skip all the "getting to know you" rigamarole and go ahead and negotiate how many children you'll have. Ha! My kids will tell you that it was love at first sight when I met my husband, because they were there and saw it. I correct them to say it was "attraction" at first sight, but luckily events transpired that made it necessary for him to get my phone number. -Thanks, Jared!
I got into a fight with a girl I knew for only two weeks when she said that her dream house had a pool and I said we could get one after the children had grown because I think it is dangerous for small children to be around a pool. Took half an hour to calm her down.

The mutual friend who wanted to introduce us told me her friend was a philosophy grad student and loved jazz, which - I knew nothing about either and had no interest in either, but agreed to be introduced because I always figured you never know. And then when he came walking up the sidewalk the night we met, I realized immediately that 1. she had forgotten to tell me he was hot 2. she had forgotten to tell me he had long hair (which was +1 million points with me). She had also forgotten to tell me he was a musician, brilliant, hilarious, loved cats, and had the same favorite band. I probably would have married him sight unseen had she described him accurately!
