First Date Experiences

Post Reply New Topic

I was wondering about people's first date experiences. One that sticks out in my mind is when my boyfriend brought me to a nice restaurant. I guess he was trying to be romantic and feed me a piece of chicken. I just grabbed it off the fork and ate it.... his eyes bugged out of his head. ((lol))

In my case we're going back about thirty years so memories fade.

Her name was Anne and she was in the same chemistry class as me. We went for a meal and talked about nothing but chemistry then we moved on to a club where we both attempted to dance. They played Bill Withers singing 'Lovely Day' where he holds that single note for ages.

The date went OK but we were both really nervous and things never worked out. Six weeks later I met another girl and that relationship lasted six months.

I guess my first date was technically in sixth grade. It was a double date, so maybe it doesn't count. We went to Chili's. The boys ordered beer and the waiter served it to them, even though we were all only 12 years old! I was really shocked by that.

In high school, I breifly dated a guy who took me to a bad Chinese restaurant once. I don't remember much of it because it was so long ago. We were both really awkward.

My first date was actually lovely I was fifteen. I met the guy on a gifted and talented science program we were both sent on. I remember having a conversation in the canteen with him that lasted about 45 minutes and being amazed with myself, because I don't think I'd ever had a conversation that long with anyone who wasn't in my immediate family. Afterwards we met up to go bowling, except the lanes were all booked up, so we just sat in the pizza place and talked for three hours. Then we went for a walk and kissed! I went out with him for six months and he's still one of my closest friends now.

My first date was fun. Met the girl, travelled around the city intent on doing anything and everything, and ending up spending more time travelling between various places (cinema/games shops/etc) than actually doing anything.

She stayed round my place for the night, we watched evangelion, I lost my virginity, and pretty much the next time I spoke to her afterwards she dumped me. Probably the creepiest bit though is that in retrospect, without the whole rose-tint effect, it was pretty obvious that I deserved that.

That's cute.

I wouldn’t say that I’ve really had any proper dates although come to think of it my first date would have been in university in the first year. She cooked me dinner, which was quite good. Only thing is I had no idea it was a date till I figured it out about two years later. I never though of her like that, I just thought she was an interesting person to talk to. My aspieness really pissed off her friend I seem to recall. Anyway I was piss poor at reciprocating then so I never got round to returning th favour. She sort of did stalk me a little on reflection, she would say stuff like 'I looked in your window and you were just sitting there starring at a coin for ten minutes'

Nothing good... second experience = not strong enough... third experience = didn't happen - wrongly robbed from me and possibly still in the balance... but I have no clue what to make of this.

Heh, thats awesome. He probably took that as a snarl and, note to self - she's independent, don't play games with her on that.

Geez, my first date was probably back when I was 17 and I ran into a girl I'd gone to school with at the local fair. I have this uncanny ability to remember almost anyone I went to school with so when I do recognize a girl they do tend to feel warm and fuzzy from it pretty quick. We did go out a couple times and as cheesy as it was walking down to the park, chatting, hanging with one of her friends, going out by the development lake and sitting on the drain ramp to talk some more (in the moonlight ), and then giving her a kiss on the lips goodnight seemed like pretty unusually romantic stuff at that point.

I must say... my hand was looking pretty good that day...

I have no first date experience

My first date ever - we went to a beach, sat on a bench overlooking the ocean, and talked. I was shaking all over, enough that she stopped the conversation and asked if I was OK...

my DH's first date was with me, at 31. We had talked online, and once on the phone and the next week we met in the parking lot of a restaurant near where I worked. We sat in my car and talked for three hours, then drove nearby to his parents house and sat in their parking space while he smoked a doob, then drove back to the same restaurant parking place and talked for another three hours.

I finally had to make the first move..."I would like to know what it's like to kiss you." So we did.

This was the first first date I'd been on where I didn't sleep with the guy. And it was my DH's first date, first kiss, first close enounter with a woman.

We've been together now for almost three years.

people seem to have good memories from the first dates, so just to show you that not everything in life is rosy, I'll add my own [awful] experience. it was in high school, and I need to mention that I was very unpopular back then (actually, I am still not popular, except I don't give a damn anymore). Anyway, I was 16 and I figured that if I keep waiting for a guy to ask me out, it will never happen, so I took the first step. Since I was very shy, I took an indirect approach, and said something along the lines of "there's this opera I want to go to and I was supposed to go with a friend, but she got sick. Would you like to go together?" He said yes. His dad was supposed to pick me up and drive us there. I spent something like 4 hours taking a bath, shaving, removing hair from from all parts of my body, putting on creames, makeup, doing my hair, etc. At the end, I looked like I just got out of the miss universe competition. And then I waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. I began crying, which ruined my makeup. Finally he shows up 45 minutes into the concert, wearing jeans that should have been thrown into the washer 2 months ago. I was hoping he would hold my hand and kiss me. He ignored my presence the entire evening. the worst part was during the intermission. as if by a command, he sprang up from his sit and ran to some other girl and spent the entire intermission with her. Needless to say, I felt like crap, especially since there were happy couples all over the place.
We never exchanged 2 words since.
I must say, I learned important lessons though.
1. I would rather face a Nazi shooting squade than ask a guy out, ever.
2. I stopped caring about my appearance. Men don't appreciate it. They don't notice it. They aren't worthy of it.
I had some good dating experience early in college, though....

Interesting lonelyLady, sorry it didn't go well. Are you sure he knew it was a date? He might have taken you literally though it was sh***y of him to turn up late and not involve you. So from that I think he probably was just being a cad, didn't say 'no' because he wimpled out. After all it is easier to turn someone down that to ask someone. Don't let this experience stop you from asking another guy out if you like them.

A girl once said to me that she had been left high and dry for the weekend. So I suggested we meet up. I never took it as an actual date, I assumed she had. The rest of the story is here

I’ve had crappie/odd experiences too. I girl once asked me if I would like to go swimming with her some time. I thought it was a bit out there but after a long pause I thought ok so I said yes especially as I had met her in badminton and had gone to tennis with her. Well she was waiting my time. She didn't want to go swimming with me, every time I mentioned it afterwards she just brushed it off. I cut her out of my life soon after this she had confused me too many times. Previously I had asked if she would like to eat out one time. She said she couldn’t but months later she called me up and asked me if I wanted to get something to eat which turned out to be a disaster. Now I realise it was because she was moving flat (I saw the empty flat when I picked her up) so she probably didn’t have anything to eat and none of her friends where in South London. Most of the time she was really cold with me so I found it really confusing when she did these impulsive things. I feel like she used me to get a lift to badminton so she didn’t have to wait for the bus.

Nothing says "I love you" like chicken on a fork.



I haven't had that many first date experiences myself.
