Bulma first saw Vegeta when he came to Earth.

Even though the first time they officially met when on Namek, this wasn’t the first time Bulma saw Vegeta.

When Vegeta and Nappa came to Earth to find the Dragon Balls, Bulma’s then-boyfriend at the time Yamcha was one of Vegeta’s victims.

Bulma being the supportive girlfriend, was watching the action from afar, so she would have seen Vegeta, and although Vegeta may have caught a glimpse of Bulma in the corner of his eye, I don’t think you can call it a meeting.

Bulma only had eyes for Zarbon at first.

When Vegeta first met Bulma, he was after the 1 star Dragon Ball that Krillin was holding. But Vegeta wasn’t the only one after that Dragon Ball. Frieza’s most eligible henchman Zarbon was trying to get it as well.

After Vegeta threatened to kill Bulma if Krillin didn’t give up the Ball, Bulma thought Zarbon was there to rescue her after he confronted Vegeta. Sadly though, Zarbon would have killed Bulma even quicker than Vegeta would have.

Here’s a youtube clip of the meeting, hopefully it doesn’t get taken down!

Vegeta spared Bulma’s life when they first met.

Saiyan’s have a hard time showing romance. But after Krillin gave Vegeta the final Dragon Ball he thought he needed, there’d have been nothing stopped Vegeta from killing Bulma, along with Krillin.

So the fact that Vegeta didn’t murder Bulma was actually quite a big moment, and that could have been the start of the spark between Vegeta and Bulma.

Sure it’s not quite flowers and a poem, but deciding not to kill someone is a big deal for a Saiyan.
