I went to a movie for a first date and fell asleep, I had my legs on the seat in front of me, they fell off and I screamed. We both laughed. I can't remember the movie but it had Charlie sheen in it and was awful.

I was only allowed to go any where if I went out to our ranch and fed the horses....so I made my date take me there before
we went out...we drove my car and after rakeing up manure we were off on our date......he was showing off his driving
and we spun out and got stuck in the mud.....when the police found us ....he ask for a ride to the garage where he worked....
since it was in the next town we had to be transferred in another police car ....by the time we got the tow truck
And back to rescue my car.....our time was up....I had a curfew......fun date......I married that boy....gheeesh

I was a 10th grader in high school and most of my friends were youth group friends. I was radically saved in 9th grade and began calling youth group people over the weekdays to see how they are doing and write letters to 2-3 people on Sunday which became like a routine. There was this girl, one year younger, who would come to the youth group service and leave in the middle of the service. I found out that she was a pianist for the main adult service and that's why she couldn't stay long. So I decided to give her a call though we've never talked before. She was surprised when I called her and learned that her mom was very strict where she had to practice piano for hours and hours - she sounded like a bird in a cage and made a promise to call her on a regular basis. This calling eventually turned into a talking on the phone after midnight to avert her mom from finding out about it and I also had to do so under a blanket for I was sharing a room with my older brother back then. At one point, I gathered enough courage and told her that I like her. And there was silence on the other side of the receiver. First thing that went through my mind was 'oh crap what have I done (*picturing the end of the world coming sooner than expected or rather what it felt like going through my head). Then she said she was waiting for me to say that.

So our first date (I'm sorry for the long background story - thought it was necessary to explain why it was memorable) had to be something outside of church without her mom knowing about it. She was a member of an orchestra that had a practice on Tuesday night at a junior high school in her town. So we decided to meet during the break. I rode my bicycle, in my best clothes, for about 45 minutes, thinking about her but completely being blanked out at the same time. I got to the front entrance of the school and took the down stair on the left as I was told; and I waited down there where it was dim enough to give us some privacy. I don't know how long I waited or rather don't remember because I saw her silhouette under the full moon walking down the stair - she wore a black top with fairly deep neckline and a jean short shorts. I don't remember all the details but do remember that I was leaning against the building and she was leaning on me, in my arms - and that was the softest and the warmest feeling I've ever experienced in my life. I was innocence for my age back then and thought kissing was like a peck on a cheek kinda thing - and learned otherwise that night.

That was our first date and we kept our relationship through exchanging letters at church and calling after midnight. During one midnight calling, her mom, on the other line, interrupted us in the middle of conversation. I met her mom that Sunday and I was told that her daughter was busy preparing for college and piano practice so don't have time for things like this.

And that was pretty much the end of it.

i was talking with a girlfriend today about first dates. we swapped a few stories and that little conversation is what inspired this thread. thanks dear ellisa!


what was memorable about a first date you had?


oh, and to clarify, if you are opposed to the concept of "dating", that's fine. this isn't a thread to debate courting vs. dating, since in my book they're practically synonymous. please substitute the acceptable terminology for the word "date".

was it a great date? was it awful? was it even a date?

oh, and if you have a memorable date experience, share it. even if it wasn't a first date. : )



I spent 6 hours at a cemetery on a first date.

On my first date, I made the mistake of letting my date drive my car and she almost wrecked it!

My first date was sort of an accident. Me and a group of my friend's brother's friend's went to the movies. I had met one of the friends previously and he'd flirted with me a bit before but I didn't really know him, but now we talked and got on well. So we went and saw the movie, but when it was over everyone had left except for him and me. So he offered to walk me home... So we walk and talk, and the next thing I know I'm resting my head on his shoulder, his arm around me, sitting together on a park bench watching the sunset across the lake. I made it home safe, and that was my first date. :)

Ah, first date. Or dates. Hmm... Okay, I had several first dates. Before I go on, you are supposed to have memorable first dates. Not to forget unless you are not going to marry him/her. Ha ha. My first date with each women I have dated were different. But the very first one was, ironically not memorable one. I was living at this Deaf school and you can not seem to get dates because you are living on campus and it just you see them all the time. So, in this case, I will turn a little right turn here.

My memorable date, not first date, was with this girl I was dating at the time during 1976--the Bicentennial year. My dorm group hosted a Valentine's Day dance with the girl's group (there were 4 boy groups, and 4 girl groups all grouped differently by grade/age) and funny thing was, NONE of the boys asked the girls to dance. Really! Literally all were sitting quietly and not even signing at all. They all were frozen in their seating. All of us 25 guys sit quiet and the 25 girls sit quietly too. Until the houseparent (old term for dorm supervisor we used) told all of us to dance! He was asking us to do something! Music was playing, all were sitting doing NOTHING! So, I said to myself in voice, "I guess I am going to ask my girlfriend to dance!" So, I asked her and she said, "Yes!" All this in sign language. We danced pretty much the rest of the evening. NO one else danced that night. The boys talked about us. So were the girls. We sensed jealousy in them.

Then the thing went down hill next day on. The teasing and picking on me.

And no, I did not marry her. Let just let me say this, she got caught a naughty thing that made me dump her. How sad! I was hurt.

And that was the ONLY true Valentine's Day date I ever had in during 20th Century! Only two females in 21st Century, my ex in Miami in 2002 and my ex-wife in last decade.

Memorable first date with ex-wife, I got clever with creativity of first date to be memorable. It works! How? Let me tell you all, do take her to do something special that she LOVES to do. Not the boring common dinner and a movie. Movie!? No.. not first date!! You need to talk with each other to get to know each other. If she loves baseball, take her to the ball game and dinner. That is what she loves.. my ex-wife. A dinner and a game to watch.

If she loves animals, surprise her by taking her to the zoo! Some one did the same--he works at the zoo as elephant keeper and he surprised her by saying, "I want you to meet a friend" She wondered why on first date you get to meet a friend! Should not but she got the "joke" when he brought her there after hours to meet his friend, the elephant he works with! True story! She knew this cuteness and awesome date she had with him showed her he was right man for her. Creativity can get you points to win a heart to marry someone.

If she loves cars, take her to the Nationals or car show like NAIAS or NY International Auto Show. If she loves racing, NASCAR... I could go on forever with this but you need to do is to do your homework on the lady you are going to have first date. I promise you you will thank God for my creativity and advice I gave you. Take her out to what she loves the most. It is unselfish of you to show her.. by showing love.. :) Please do that way, OK?

I WELCOME dating, not kissing goodbye!

I didn't have any dating relationships in high school, but I did go on dates to school dances in my senior year. One particularly memorable time was when I went with a friend of mine to homecoming. We went with a group of friends, he treated me like such a lady all through dinner, but as soon as we got to the dance he stayed with me for one song then he ditched me and danced with some tall gorgeous girl that he had a crush on but didn't have the guts to ask out. *sigh* it was lame but we went as friends and we're still friends today.

Haha... she moved shortly after and it took me a while to finally move on.

After we were "forced" to break up, I did lot of silly stuffs like hiking to the nearby mountain top in her town so I can see her apartment (okay, I took an old binocular but barely could make out the building). I remember like after four years finally finding out where she moved to - the city, not the actual address but the name of the street, and what car she drives. I didn't have a car until like third year in college so I rode my bicycle for 6 hours to get to the street that she supposedly lives on. And I just rode along the street looking for a burgundy Mazda (wasn't too sure if that was an accurate information but overheard something like that - and it was probably more of an hope that I might bump into her kinda thing) and ended up getting a flat tire. I was lucky that a friend from college group went to a college nearby and got a ride from him and oh boy... still remember everything in pretty vivid details after all these years. (mild smile)

My date and I burned a McDonalds to the ground - no, wait, that's just a dream of mine... We went to the theater to see "The Vow", but instead saw STAR WARS IN 3D! Because The Vow was sold out. You can imagine my excitement, and my dates dismay (she had never even seen star wars). We ended up seeing The Vow afterwards though, we both agreed that Star Wars was the better of the two.
