this could kinda be a spinoff from all those true love threads that were around a few days ago.
but what made your DH different from your other ex boyfriends that you continued dating him/fell in love with him?
for me, it was the way he treated me....he was so much nicer and didnt play any games in the beginning. it was so different than past boyfriends I felt myself falling for him right from the start
and that he was actually smart and funny and he matched my dazzling wit

It's hard to explain. It just felt different.

Re: What makes DH so different from past boyfriends?
Since I only had a few boyfriends before DH all in HS, I don't have all that much to compare him to. However he always put me fiirst, he made decisions that were good for not just himself but for me. He never played games with me and we had a friendship that was unlike any friend I had ever had.

Re: What makes DH so different from past boyfriends?
Hard to explain. I was perfectly content to keep our relationship as a dating one. Because we are older, there no pressure for us to marry to take the realtionship further. I felt that we were there already. DH proposed because he felt such a love for me and that I was 'the one'. He did not want to lose me.

It was fun! I felt like there were no games or drama. It was a friendship that developed into a love.
With the previous guy, we couldn't figure it out. It was like a game of chess, move and then counter move..

Re: What makes DH so different from past boyfriends?
I am not sure if it has more to do with HIM or with how he made ME feel. With past boyfriends I was always finding negatives and I would sit there and pick out everything wrong with them and with him, I knew there were negatives THERE but i didnt care for some reason. . . it was okay that he wasnt perfect!

Re: What makes DH so different from past boyfriends?
I was going to post this after my First love post! Thanks for doing it. :)
DH is different b/c there is no drama. There are no head games, everything he says he is truthful about and if you don't like it then too bad. He isn't as out going as my past boyfriends, but I kind of like that he isn't that crazy. When we go out with our friends, we laugh and have fun and it doesn't get out of hand ya know?
The fact that we were friends before we dated also helped. I knew who the real Justin was, and saw how he was with the women he dated. So that also made it easier when it came to dating. I kind of knew what I was getting.
He can be loving and sweet in private, but in public or around other people he kind of closes up. Whenever we go out we say 'NO PDA' lol I try to kiss him in public and he says 'NO PDA' haha It's funny, and I will get a kiss or hug out of him when I try hard, but that's okay to me. I am not like that either. But he gives in sometimes, and thats what makes it special.

thats how it was for me. i felt like it was all games with other guys. i couldnt just call him up and want to see him it was all like playing it cool and pretending.
with DH right from the start we just wanted to hang out and see each other all the time because we were having fun. and then right from the beginning he was calling me his girlfriend instead of 'just this chick I hang out with'

Re: What makes DH so different from past boyfriends?
What's different is that the relationship is just so easy. No drama, no second guessing, & rarely any fighting.
He treats me like a queen (which I'm still getting used to) he values my opinion, & compromises with me all the time.
We have the same sense of humor, we have all these little inside jokes. It's cute.
I just feel like I'm complete since he's been in my life.

Re: What makes DH so different from past boyfriends?
a lot. It depends on the ex. Aside fro the obvious being in love thing...for one thing he never cheated on me. He also wasn't scared to have a conversation with my parents. LOL. And he and i just got along well with similar interests,

Re: What makes DH so different from past boyfriends?
he was just different. I mean all of the other guys in my life were pretty cool too (i wouldn't have dated somebody 'bad' for me). But dh was just so much better. I loved how he always put me first. He was so big & strong, yet incredibly gentle, kwim? Plus, there were things (obviously) that i DIDN'T like about each other guy and I loved that dh didn't have those qualities -
like one guy would be so nice and then suddenly change to be 'cool' when around his friends. DH wasn't like that ever. He's so real.
Another guy was a big flirt. I mean, he came onto me a lot while still having a serious girlfriend. Nothing ever went on until they broke up, but I always had the feeling he'd do the same to me. Not necessarily a 'cheater' but just a flirt by nature and I'm not secure enough for that. DH obviously isn't that type.
the list can go on and on really. There was something that just stood out in the one I married. Even with how nice all the other guys were - they just don't compare

Re: What makes DH so different from past boyfriends?
Ok, so this will be really cheesy. DH made me strive to be a better person. He pushes me to always give my all and to live up to the person that he knows that i am. In my past relationships, although i thought people cared, i come to see after knowing DH , that they really just cared about themselves. DH taught me to put myself first and to value myself because im worth it. He protects me. I just feel in my heart that he wants me to be happy and he'll do everything he can to ensure that i always am.

Re: What makes DH so different from past boyfriends?
I never had a 'Real Boyfriend'. It was more of hookups and what I thought were relationships (mostly having to do with sex). What made DH different is that he came around to hang out not to hook up. Not that I was this big **** but he was a gentlemen.

With DH it was so natural and fun. We had a little drama here and there but we were actually friends and that made all the difference.

Re: What makes DH so different from past boyfriends?
DH is the most loyal man I have ever met. He really is. I have known him since I was 15 and we were friends in high school. I always saw how he was with girls- always treated them with respect. He treats me so well, it's unbelievable. He does everything and puts up with my crap- what more could I ask for? LOL. But it all seriousness- we are best friends. We were friends before becoming lovers which I think is the best.

he stuck around...jk
I don't compare DH to my last bf's as he was my 1 bf as an adult, anything under the age of 18 I consider kiddie stuff.
