She walked into a monthly pub meet-up with my best female friend, who'd met her online and persuaded her to come along to meet some new people.
I instantly saw her waist-length red hair and thought "Wow, who's THAT?!". After a few minutes I wandered over to say Hi to my friend and introduce myself to the new lady, but the latter was so shy that she just buried her face in her phone and wouldn't/couldn't speak to me.
However, I found out later, she'd noticed me instantly too, mainly my deep brown eyes, apparently.
She did sneak up behind me later on and double-poked me in the sides of my tummy to get my attention, but when I turned round with an amused look on my face, she just blushed and scurried away.
Took another couple of months before we actually managed to overcome her (and to some extent my) shyness, get chatting and hit it off, but when we did, we did!
That was over seven years ago now, and heaven knows we've had our ups and downs, but we're still together, for all our sins.
