Annoying Love Interest
I received this message from iammarlo:
“How many of your readers found their spouses to be annoying before
they fell in love with them … you know … the ones that are still
happily married.”Did you find your current love interest to be annoying before you fell in love with him/her?
Comments (100)
erm… nope.
not at all. sometimes i find him annoying now though.
How could someone become un-annoying?
ummm..yes i did.
Nope, not I.
Nope.. Well in kindergarten I may have been a little annoyed by him on occasion… and I know I got sick of him winning around the world all of the time in second grade…
never been in love, so i can’t answer the question.
didn’t then, don’t now.
@racheek - Money! haha
Oh I found him to be an anoying little geek of a boy. But then I met him when he was only 12 years old
Yup.
hmm.. he’s kinda annoying right now
but we aren’t married so maybe when we are….. lol
No…only after.
naw.
Not married, so the question doesn’t apply.
Incredibly so.
I don’t have a love interest.
But I have found some guys who liked me annoying though. It never worked out though. I can barely tolerate annoying people… I have a boiling point… ahaha… I don’t burst or anything, I just tell them that it’s not flattering, just annoying.. And they slowly drift away… and I stop talking to them… I guess it offends them… But what do I care, I’m not bothered anymore.
A guy needs to be smooth. And has to know how to pull the strings.
okay, that’s all… I think I might have gone overboard.
Not at all.
I find everyone annoying, so on that principle, yes.
hahaha
Not annoying. Just not…anything. I refered to him as “sexless Tom” because I thought of him purely as Tom my best friend, not a man (or not a “not man”). He was geeky and shy, but had (has) a great sense of humor. Thank goodness he grew into his face.
I think the closer you get to someone the more annoying they seem to get. But in a way that makes you love them more.
What love interest?
Sorry, I’m not married. Yet anyway.
Nope, I knew instantly. Not married though, but it feels like it.
I’m not married yet, and still single.
hmm…
nope. but generally people become more annoying after i get to know them
no, my love interests are more lust induced interests. then you like them so much they become annoying becaus eyou want them
Yes
a thousand times, yes.
Never been in love, but I find most people annoying, so it could happen.
I’m not married, don’t really plan on.
not a commitment kind of girl.
yeah a little. but it really is endearing.
I wouldn’t know.
Nope. He amuses me.
Well, with my last boyfriend… no. There was a guy once who had a crush on me who was terribly annoying (and still is sometimes), but it would never work out between us. I guess that’s just not how I work.
so it’s attractive to be annyoing now?
Yes. Horribly so.
<33
Yeah, I’m easily annoyed. That’s why the question was posed. I’ll never get married! ha!
Nope – just scary. haha.
On another note, I
am not going to bribe you or try to coerce you into voting for me,
probably because I have nothing to bribe you with or secrets to force
you to do my bidding.
But, my “winning manifesto” is up on my site. Read it and you can decide for yourself whether I deserve to go to the next round.
@squeakysoul - ditto
im here to vote for maebemmaebenot. carry on
Yes! Thought he was arrogant, conceited and a total jerk. Luckily, I was wrong on most counts! Married HAPPILY for 22 years now.
Have you checked out EdwardHancockII yet? Please vote for him in the Xangan Idol contest!
I’ve never dated anyone I found annoying in the past. As to my current love interest, I have never found him annoying. I always found him quite fascinating. Too bad he’s taken.
It was after I fell in love that the haze wore off and found some of the things he does is really annoying; like farting and fantasy baseball.
yes and I find them even more annoying now that we are not together.
yes. we both annoyed each other terribly. then for some reason we got married. we still annoy each other to death.
huh?
I can’t say, I’m not married yet. If and when I do get married one day way far in the future, I hope he wasn’t one of the guys I do found annoying. It’s such a turn off.
N/A
HATED HIS GUTS!
Now I love his guts and everything else about him!
I did at first, and sometimes from time to time I do now. But that’s because I love him and Im comfortable enough to be annoyed with him when he does something stupid. Plus hes very very clumbsy!
i wish i was married; i also wish xanga had polls. Dan, your site would be even more groovy with polls.
Ha, not even for a second.
(which I almost typoed as “sexond”. Freudian slip, much?)
I never got annoyed with Daniel.
I didn’t think he was annoying I thought he was an arrogant SOB who thought he was better than everyone else that he worked with.
I do not know…Never been in love…haha
When I met my fiance, I was readying myself for the single life. He wasn’t annoying. I just thought he’d make a cute date … for the rest of my life.
he was extremely annoying, but there was also something about him that i loved immediately and i knew he was the one. and yes, he still have the annoying things about him but now they are endearing. lol
My god, yes.
He would come by my checklane and make fun of me.
How we got together is beyond me.
Nope. I’ve always thought he was great
Nope. I didn’t think I would fall in love with him though =)
<33
No, I was totally infatuated with him. Haha
yes. in fact, i hated him
tehe
Well, one of my friends and I really didn’t get along well when we first met, and now we’re alot closer. There’s talk of us getting married, but I don’t know. I’m only latching on to him because he’s the cutest nearest guy in the vicinity.
No it’s the opposite for me. He was charming and wonderful before I married him and now he’s annoying! Just kidding! He’s wonderful.
i think if he’s annoying before i date him i wouldn’t even think of going out with him.
I piss off easily if i get annoyed…><
My spouse tells me I’m annoying all the time.
Beli-Grrl gets my vote in the Xanga Idol thing!
Not at all. I thought of my husband as a really nice guy before we started dating
Yep. I thought my Husband was very annoying when I met him.
No, but he is annoying now when he wants to be…

No, but he annoys me a little now, haha.
No way. I was infatuated with him before I ever knew his name, and now 4 years later I find myself in a deep love that I sink into every morning, and fall asleep with each night.
Typically, the things I have found annoying in relationships are when the guy is too sweet and compromising. I guess it makes sense that those things would be good qualities someday. So, I can see how being annoyed with your spouse initially could suggest a happy future.
Actually, yeah. I had a bad first impression of him, but as we got to know each other, it erased it completely.
My ex husband was an ass when I met him,lol, I should have taken the warning then….he was such a”lovable” ass though, I let it slide. I don’t talk to him at all now,it’s better that way, but I’m happy that he has someone who was willing to go through the drama of “stablizing” him so he could seem like a ”normal” person( more or less).
I would like to vote for emberfly.

Did not think he was annoying per se…but I did think he was weird.
Actually, yes. When I first met my current love interest, he was the most annoying person. I found him too loud and thought he talked too much. I just wished he would ignore me.
But as time went on, he somehow got less annoying, though he was still the same person, and I started to like him, which eventually turned into love. It’s weird, I don’t know what happened to make him less annoying to me…
At first, yes.
That’s weird how that works out, haha. It was a weird first impression.
I met my fiance when I was 7. When I was 10 I told my mom I was going to marry him. At 16 he asked me out and now four 1/2 years later we are getting married. He does annoy me sometimes but it’s cute.
haha yeah
Of course! It was all part of her charm! LOL
YES, ACTUALLY I DID.
It was funny because I thought it was silly how everyone fussed over him and how good looking he was. It wasn’t until later after a deep friendship that it changed. It’s always a bit of a joke our circle-of-friends have about me not liking him when we met.
But now we’ve been together for 6yrs and married for 3+.
But it’s funny how ppl are asking ‘how could that be possible?’. It is.
Yeah… a bit. but he annoys me now sometimes too.
^_^
HELLS yes…
yes
yes. i had been single for a few years and wasn’t use to someone needing or wanting my attention. it kind of annoyed me but once i got over my own selfish needs and thought about his needs, the annoying-ness went away. =)
I found my boyfriend annoying before going out with him. He’s been my boyfriend for 3 years now.
oh yeah.. he was mad annoying..
but he grew one me
-adieu, stace
I’m not married, though I’ve had people tell me I’m practically married to my bf anyway. I’ve known him since third grade. He was the pain in the ass troublemaker and I was the teacher’s pet. I couldn’t stand him until 9th grade, and then we didn’t become friends until 11th grade. … And then started dating the summer before senior year. So yeah, I’d say I definitely thought he was annoying before I dated him. Evidently he was scared of me, though. ^_^
Well, I am not in love with this guy yet, but he certainly gets on my nerves. Who knows what will happen?
Hmm … I guess I did before (though not a spouse but a boyfriend).
With my current guy… Yes, definately. He grabbed my chest about an hour after the first time we met. And I thought he was a complete nerd.
But, I realized that he was just being playful, and to embrace his uber-nerd side, and now I love it!
no, even he is dumb and stupid and whatever XD, I think when you are really in love, you don’t see those things or you just accept those things and like it. ^^
Oh yes. Annoying, wasn’t attracted to him, and boring!!!! We’re married with a baby now.
My mom was the same way with my dad. She couldn’t stand him. They’ll be married 30 years next Feb.
I’m not married, but I couldn’t forsee marrying someone who gives me that upon first impression!
Before, yes because I felt he was too talkative and too forward with things. ^_^””’
But as time passed, I started to like him because of his kindness and understanding of things. And now, I’m just lucky to have him in my life. He’s just amazing.
Annoying and overly obessed with me.
Now it’s the other way around. haha.
I wouldn’t know.
