Your First Date!

Newgate — Thu, 29 Mar 2018 23:35:05 GMT

My husband and I were chatting and reminiscing about our first date together! In my case it was my first date. I was l6 and he was 17 so he had already had a couple or three.

We went to a basketball game at his school on a Friday night. I had a very strict old fashioned father so I had to be home at 10:30. So it was straight home from the game! And, of course there was no time for a late night hamburger!! When we pulled in my driveway my mother was peeking through the drapes!! No hanky panky that night for us!! And that was my get home time for a whole year! We both did date other people off and on but kept finding each other and did get married at 2l and 20!! Care to talk about your first?

DH called and invited me to "see his facilities" (we were both working in Special Services, he at a Navy base and me at a Marine base 1 1/2 hrs away). At first I was reticent, as I figured he might be a married man and 1 1/2 hrs might guarantee his anonymity. He wasn't married and we were 13 months later!

You guys have already heard about my first 'date' with my husband.

As far as a real first date with a guy there's only one other guy I ever loved other than my husband. He lives in Florida and he even married (and divorced) a girl with the same name as mine.

We were together for several years til I saw my late husband across the room at a dance. Knew immediately I was going to marry him.

He used to say, "I don't remember asking you to marry me?" I said, "Well, it's because you didn't. I knew I was going to marry you from the minute I saw you. I told my sister...When you told me your last name I thought it was your first name and that's why I've always called you by your last name." He'd laugh and say, "Well, I'm glad you picked me".

My first date was at 15 and it was a disappointment. I really didn't have a memorable date until I met my husband.

I didn’t date in my sophomore year because I didn’t like anyone and no one asked me out anyway. My first date was to the fair in my junior year. I worked at a Sirloin Stockade with my best friend and we liked two guys that worked there. Anyway he asked me out and I was so excited. I bought a brown pants suit ( can’t remember the name of the store) but it was next to TG&Y. Had to be home by midnight and Dad was up waiting. We dated three years but marry.

We went fishing. I know that doesn't sound very romantic and we didn't catch many fish but he was my biggest catch. I guess I used the right lure.

I met someone at a church social when I was a sophomore. We dated through high school.........and he still calls me 50 years later, even though we live a couple thousand miles apart.

First real date with DH was a double date with my sister and her boy friend at the time who was a friend of DH then. We had a picnic at a park along the St. Lawrence River. Had a great time and that really cemented our relationship. We were married about 2 months after. That was about 55 years ago. Time flies when you're having fun.

My first date with my husband was a fix up date. I was fifteen and he was seventeen. We had seen each other in school so I know what he looked like. Cute! We went to the drive in. My girlfriends had dates with his friends. We parked side by side. I was sitting as close to the door as I could. He said are you going to move over? I did and I remember he smelled so good. Ha! We both knew that this was it. Married four years later.

My DH met over 30 yrs. ago. On our first date, he took me to a Stevie Wonder concert. How cool is that? I sure was impressed!

My first date ever was when I was 11 or 12 years old. We went to a movie and sat in the first row. My eyes started to hurt and I felt awful. When I came home I had a fever and was diagnosed with the measles. It was just about this time of year as it was the first Passover seder which is probably why my mom wanted me out of the house while she prepared for it. I spent the next week in a darkened closed off room. Didn't date again until I was in my mid teens.

I "went steady" with my DH all through junior high & high school.Except for the times we would fight & break up - teenage drama. At first I was only allowed to group date then when I was 16 & still with the same boy , I was allowed to go on real dates. My Dad always told me not to think I had a right to spend a boy's money on dates expecting him to buy me meals or trinkets etc. I would eat at home before we went out , and if we stopped somewhere I would just get something to drink or a single ice cream. I was always aware that he was saving for college, & that he & his Mom did not have much money, so I never expected him to spend a lot on me.

Honestly, after 37 years I'm surprised I remember. We've done a lot of living in those 37 years. I was in college, he was attending an LPN program at a hospital that was near my college. We both commuted to school and we took the same train. I never noticed him on the train (he noticed me) but I saw him a few times in the bookstore that I frequented and sitting in the quad. So, when he struck up a conversation in the bookstore one day, I didn't feel like he was a stranger. He wasn't a "college boy" and I liked that. He like sci fi books and we were both pursuing medical careers. We lived in neighboring towns. It seemed "right" from the very beginning. We had pizza a couple of times while we waited for our train but that was not a date. Our first real date was a few weeks later on a Saturday night. He took me out for chinese food, a nice place and a movie. We never saw the movie because we spent the entire evening eating and talking and laughing. We were both 21 and both graduating that summer. After that first date, I knew that he was "the one". We were just together, a couple after that and we were engaged a year later and married a year after that. I didn't have much dating experience before I met him.

First date was with a guy that worked with my brother. Took me to Star Wars movie. Star Wars was not my cup of tea, I fell asleep in the theater - needless to say, he did not ask me for a second date!

@Newgate

I honestly don’t recall my first date of who it was with. I guess it wasn’t all that important to me.
