We were having dinner at his friend's apartment and at the end of the meal he leapt up, cleared the table and starting washing dishes. And I said to myself WTF??!! A guy who, on his own initiative, when there are two women present, washes dishes? To me that labeled him a keeper.
I'm afraid at this point even if I met a guy and he did the most wonderful thing in the world, I might be too blind to see it or too numb to feel it, if that makes any sense. But yeah, I think it would have to be something completely unexpected...not the roses and candy route.

I didn't go to a Star Trek Convention to which I not only had a ticket but I had reserve seats
Actually I think I sort of knew when I kissed him at the conclusion of the first date (he told me later he'd made up his mind he wasn't going to kiss me on the first date because he wasn't looking for a relationship just a friend) and I was pretty sure when I felt incredibly guilty for keeping a date I'd made with another guy (I made the date before I even met Bill), so by the time I skipped the ST convention to go on a picnic, well let's just say I didn't have any doubts when he asked me to marry him even though we'd only known each other 8 days
You won't believe me....but it was love at first sight (at least on my part). I was in college, had just turned 20, I think. I used to hang out with my friend and her boyfriend, and one day I met the boyfriend's roommate. We talked often, and discovered we had classes in the same building at the same time, so we'd "visit" before class. I had such a crush, but it took 5 months before we started dating, so maybe we laid a good foundation of friendship. There were a few arguments, a couple big ones, but we never broke up. Just didn't have that drama...everything was very natural.
After we both graduated (he was a year behind me), we never wondered *if* we'd get married...we talked about *when* we got married. So, there wasn't one real "a-ha" moment. If there's a such thing as Fate, this is the closest I've ever come to it. Things aren't perfect, and now we have some drama occasionally, but we've been married for 17 years.
That's the way I always hoped it would happen for me, to meet a guy in college. I'm starting to think my problem was I was hanging out in the wrong department :)

Hey, any guy worth skipping a Star Trek convention for is a keeper. Said from the bottom of my little geeky heart.
