We went to see legally blond 2 on our first date. I kept asking him if he wanted to see something else, but he was trying to impress me so we went there. I waited until after the movie to agree to be his gf. He was the perfect gentelman, and when he got to my house I put on some lipgloss and asked him if he wanted to taste it. I gave him a kiss. LOL (That was rated R for me lol) We have been together ever since.
Our first date was long boarding on the boardwalk, eating a delicious greasy breakfast from a surf shack, and sailing on the bay. A few things went wrong
-He almost threw my off the skateboard when he put his feet right in my trucks!
-I didn't realize that when you go sailing with a catamaran you have to actually get into the water. I was in the water up to my waste in WHITE PANTS! They become completely see through of course.
-Turns out he has no idea how to sail. He was taking a class but apparently he'd missed a few sessions! We ended up rowing back to shore with our feet - which was actually really fun.
But the worst part of our first date was that he didn't think there were any sparks between us! :( Anyway, we continued our friendly relationship and the sparks came later :D
i met my bf through a mutual friend of ours and we talked online for hours before our first date. it was the end of the year and my boyfriend had just finished his classes, but i was still taking exams. i asked him if he would come up to my school and meet me for a date. he came and parked in a lot that was across the street from my dorm. i went out to meet him and neither of us had any idea how to greet each other. i was going in for a handshake and then we kind of ended up hugging. it was so awkward. we went out for lunch and had sushi, but the lunch special gives miso soup and i didn't like the taste of it at the time, so i told him that i didn't eat miso and he was like, "oh thank god, i don't like it either and i thought i was going to have to eat it to be polite!" after lunch, we went to an ice cream place and sat down in a booth and this (apparently local legend) guy comes up to us and starts asking us geography questions. i had never seen that guy before and here on my first date he starts talking to us. so my boyfriend and i are humoring him and answering his questions and he finally leaves after like 15 min or so. after we finished our ice cream we decided to walk around town and ended up seeing the geography guy again and he asks us some more questions and then we say we have to go. it was such a bizarre first date, but we always have that funny story to tell. we've been around town hundreds of times now and we have never seen that geography guy again.
i met my current BF on craigslist - crazy, i know. but welcome to the NYC dating scene. he responded to my ad, which was requesting to meet someone cool and into music and theater to hang out with. out of all the bajillion bogus crazy responses i got, his was eerily normal, polite and cute. we exchanged emails for a week and decided to meet up in person the saturday after Thanksgiving. first he suggested drinks, but the place he suggested meeting happened to be someplace i loved and frequented, so he made reservations for dinner (i knew he was special when he said he actually called and made a reservation for dinner a week in advance!! boys NEVER do this in NYC, at least in my experience). i was super nervous, and was running 1/2 an hour late and forgotten to put his number in my phone. we also never exchanged photos, but i figured how many 6'5" blond boys could be in an NYC restaurant on this particular night? fortunately, despite my lateness, he was waiting patiently for me at the bar. we got to our table, talked the whole way through dinner, and as we were leaving the restaurant, i had planned to head back home. then suddenly he says, "so do you have anything planned for the rest of the evening?" and I said no, so he suggested going to a nearby jazz club to hear some music. we ended up at one of my favorite spots and stayed out till 1AM! I had a really great time and we hugged good-bye, but i was still thinking - he's never going to call me again! it was fun, but not sure if we clicked?? he totally played by the boy rules and waited three days to contact me again (an agonizing 3 days!!), but the rest, as they say, is history!
11pm at a hookah bar in georgetown...
extremely awkward. i caught him staring at my boobs and he goes "i like your shirt." glad we didn't give up on it :)
Our first date was a double date with my sister and BIL (coworker of MinMan's). We went to this sushi place; I had never eaten sushi before, was completely intimidated by his age, and had no idea what to expect. I ended up loving sushi, he did some of the cutest flirty things, and afterwards we walked around talking in the cold. Beautiful.
Ohhh my gosh sour cream!? I would have died!!! There are some great stories here! I love to hear how people met and what happened!
I met my BF at one of his competitions. He is a professional athlete so a friend called me up and asked if I wanted to check out this strongman competition at the casino. I said sure whatever. My friend went to the police academy with my BF's best buddy so that's where the connection was. I first laid eyes on him while he was competing and turned to my BF's buddy and said oh my gosh is he single I have to meet him! And his buddy said absolutely. I was able to meet my BF briefly after the comp but that was it, he was busy signing autographs and stuff. The next night I was out to dinner with my mom and I got a text message from my girlfriend saying she got me a date with the BF! I almost fell off my bar stool! 3 days later a bunch of us met up in my BF's town and met for a few drinks. Let's just say we automatically clicked and I ended up calling out of work the next day. We have been inseparable since!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our UNOFFICIAL first date (there's no way we'll ever consider this our first date because it went so terribly) was going to see a client in the hospital after he got his hip replaced. So the boy and I go to see him, meet each other there, and find out that our client has been discharged. So we decide to get dinner, even though I'm supposed to have a coffee date with my ex-boyfriend at 7. I spent the WHOLE MEAL texting the ex trying to get out of coffee, totally ignoring the current boy, and was pretty sure I blew it. Well, thankfully, he's patient enough to give me a second change so he comes over and I made dinner. Game over from then on!
We met in a restaurant/bar spent the whole night talking by a bonfire. I dropped him of at his hotel at 4 am thinking that he would never call me back. He called me at 8am to have breakfast with him. We walked around Quebec City and had a delicious meal at a crepes place and have been together ever since. Our first kiss was at thr same place where he proposed to me.
i didn't know i was on a date! we had been talking on facebook for a month and i asked him if he wanted to hang out. we went to dinner and walked around the beach, and i just didn't get the date vibe. i was in love! i wanted it to be a date, but i just didn't know what he was thinking. i called my sister after and went over every detail to see what she thought. she told me that because he paid, he gave me a kiss on the cheek after, and we had a second date set up (we were going to go to an art thing over the weekend), it was a date.
Ummmm ours was less than perfect, at least at first! He wanted to take me to a movie, and he was like "What about Hostel? It's a suspense/thriller" and of course, just being happy to go on a date, I said sure!! Ummm had no idea that it was a horror/slasher movie with nudity and everything else awkward for a first date!! oh and I hate scary movies. Big, big, baby. He was so embarassed that he picked that though... it was funny :) Then we went to a bar/resturant to hang out and talk. That part was fun, of course.
Our first date, awww. Let's see. We were set up, talked on the phone for a few days beforehand (for hours). I met him at a Starbucks downtown wearing a stabilizer boot paired with a gorgeous sundress and immediately went for the bathroom, I had to pee! I was also about an hour late, locked my keys in my apartment, and my cell phone was dead.
Anyways, after the bathroom we took a cab to a Persian restaurant. We had a long dinner and I noticed I was incredibly shy, which was a first. His card got declined, which I thought was hilarious. It eventually went through.
He dropped me off at home and made sure that the building management got me into my apartment, and our first kiss sealed the deal. I felt like I was meeting an old friend. I called my dad that night and told him I found the one.
Our was pretty bad. He took awhile to ask me out because he was very shy. When he did, he asked me to meet him on campus to watch The Last Samurai. Two problems: One, I totally had no desire to watch this movie, but I thought I could get over it and just watch it with him. Two, there was a serial attacked roaming campus and women were not advised to walk campus at night alone. So ultimately I told him I would watch the movie with him, but he needed to pick me up. He agreed that he would. The date itself was really weird. We watched a terrible, violent movie and were both so nervous that it was very awkward.
Our first "date" was to go see Anchorman, and get this, he didn't pay for my ticket!! And he was the one who asked me to go see the movie!! He walked up ordered his 1 ticket and I was standing there in shock. So I walked up & ordered my ticket, but I was pissed!! As we sat down I just flat out asked why he didn't buy mine & he told me that he wasn't sure if this was a technical date so thats why he wasn't sure if he should buy my ticket, b/c he didn't want to weird me out by making it a "date" vs. a friendly hang out at the movies.
I knew at that moment that this guy was too silly & way too much of an over-thinker to pass up! :)
I dont think my fiance and I ever really went on a first date. We have know each other forever because we are from the same town and went to school together. One year in high school we both had a free period right before lunch. So we started going out to lunch together at the mall. Nothing real special. But the first time I went to his house, we were going in the hot tub, and this was when strapless bikinis were first really cool. I had a towel wrapped around me on the way out, his mom didnt even say hi or introduce herself, she just asked if I was wearing anything under the towel. Great first impression! When we first started hanging out were we adament telling everyone we werent going out, about a month after the bot tubing, I was at his house and his mom asked us if we were ever going to start going out or if we were just going to be 'FTF'... he decided right then we had to be going out, haha.
We went to eat Mexican and I was so nervous I talked about a mile a minute. And I'm originally from up north, so I can talk fast anyways...Then, after dinner we went to the movies and I said since he got dinner I would pay for the tickets. I expected him to be like, no, I got it (I just wanted to look polite) but he was like, okay! So I shelled out 20 bucks I wasn't expecting, lol All in all it was a good date, until he took me home. He drove up to my apartment and just dropped me off without parking, turning off the car, giving a hug or ANYTHING! I thought he had an awful time because of how he dropped me off, but turns out he had such a good time he got really nervous and had no idea what to do! 
We kissed before we ever had a first date. (We’ve been friends for years.) I think after that I kind of freaked out. The Boy made it very clear he had romantic feelings for me, and eventually asked me on a date to the movies. He is so not the “dinner & movie” kind of guy, so at first I turned him down and said I couldn’t find a babysitter. (Awful, I know.)
An hour or so after that, I called him and said, “why don’t we just go to a bar instead?” He met me near the bar and was so nervous. It was funny. I mean, we’ve know each other for YEARS and already kissed. He was so excited I kept telling him to calm down because he was making me uncomfortable.
After that, we went to another bar, and then met up with my friend and boyfriend and went with them to a gay club, where the female bouncer told him if I was her girlfriend she would buy me presents everyday.
It was an interesting first date to say the least. Lol…
Our first date was at his house. He "made" (I found out a little later it was takeout) a delicious meal. I had just worked a very long day and was exhausted but still went over anyways. Right after supper, he put a movie on.
And I was sound asleep before the previews even finished. I woke up 5 hours later, sprawled on him. Awkward.
I made sure the second date was out at a restaurant...and on a weekend.
we never really had an official first date. we met online, became exclusive then met and just went from there. he was my date to my friends' wedding so that could be our first date? lol
Our first date, we went to a hole-in-the-wall BBQ place with some awesome food. So the boy is a huuuuuuuge sports fan, so to keep the conversation going, I made the mistake of asking him if he could explain football to me. Yay *sarcasm* jk! So he gets the salt and pepper shakers, sugar holders, Ketchup, all of the little advertisements that they put in the middle of the table saying what drink & dessert specials they're having that week, silverware, napkins, our straw trash, and our drinks to show how football plays are run-pretty much everything on the table was being used. My mind started wandering after he grabbed the pepper. No, not really, but I did start cracking up at how serious he was about teaching me all there is to know about football. Thanks to him I probably know more about sports than a lot of guys do. That was 3 years ago, and I still don't ever get tired of hearing him talk about sports. I love my baby very much!
Our first date was at the county fair. I was 16 and he was 17. He bought me a soda and we hung out with his friends and went to a concert with the guy who sings cat scratch fever (it was awful). I got up halfway through and said I needed to water my goats (I was in FFA and 4H and bred, raised and showed Boer goats). My friends happened to be there, and I almost didn't go back to the concert. I am so glad that I did :)
Ah I love first date stories!
Here's mine, such as it is...
My sweetheart and I had found each other on an internet dating site called Plenty of Fish. He had viewed my profile but not contacted me so I clicked on his profile and as odd as this sounds, I all of a sudden had this feeling of "so there you are!" What was weird about that was the fact that I was single and I was LOVING it. I was dating a few different men (they all knew about each other) and told every one of them that I had absolutely no intention of ever getting serious with anyone again. My marriage had pretty much done me in for actually liking men beyond a friendship. So, I saw his profile and then sent him a sassy email asking him why he didn't get in touch. He told me that he was just trying to get the courage to do it. We ended up talking online and eventually decided to meet.
We set up the date and one night as we were talking, he asked: "what would you think if I walked in the door and just walked up and kissed you without even saying hello first?" I told him that was fine - not really believing that he would do it but secretly kind of hoping he would since how a man can kiss makes or breaks things for me. ;)
The day of our date arrived and when I went to the door and opened it, he swooped in, grabbed me in his arms and kissed me thoroughly and it was makes my knees weak good! I was a little surprised because he was/is a total geek. A little shorter than me, balding (now has a totally shaved head) and despite that kiss, absolutely unsure of himself. I didn't fall in love right away - in fact, I fought it every step of the way but eventually he placed himself squarely and wonderfully into my life and the lives of my daughters who love him just as much as I do. I couldn't ask for a better man, geek or not and the best part is that he told me that when he saw me, he knew that he was looking at the woman that he would spend the rest his life with. It took me several more months before I told him about my own experience when I saw HIS picture. Honestly though, I had no idea that someone could love someone like I love him... I am so grateful that I have him in my life! :)
these are great stories :) i am pleasantly surprised by how many of us met their SO through the internet! that is pretty interesting.
Our first date (first meeting since he didn't want to call it a date for fear of putting pressure one it
) was at the drive in. We went to see Tropic Thunder. Not too romantic.lol Then we went to eat at IHOP where he asked me how I want to get engaged. Yes, on his OWN.LOL
I met my FH from craigslist as well. Being a single mother it was REALLY hard for me to get out and date.. and I was getting sick and tired of local guys. I happened to be working in Rhode Island *I live in southern MA* at the time at a hospital *I'm a nurse*. I posted an ad just looking for someone to have fun with and spend time with, never mentioned I had a son *crazy people look for that* and after a day I was pelted by 30-50 emails. It made me anxious, so I thought I would deter more responses. I didn't know how to take the ad down so I went in, edited it and wrote "Thank you for all your responses, I have found one guy I am interested in outside of craigslist so please no more responses".
My FH read the second post and was intrigued and responded "If this one man doesn't work out, please... message me". There was no man so I did.
Our first date was the most beautiful ghetto thing I ever saw. He worked Friday night to Sunday morning *straight shift* as a dispatcher at a courier company and I worked M-F as a nurse, so we decided I would meet him at his job Friday night and we would get a cup of coffee since he could technically leave the office as long as he had his phone. When I got to the warehouse, he had brought cantalope, honey dew melons and a bottle of wine and had fresh baked bread before his shift. We grabbed a cup of coffee and sat on the loading dock and talked about everything, then started eating the delicious treats he made and brought me. Before I knew it it was 1 am.
The next night I went to see him and he played the saxaphone for me in the quiet warehouse... the next day I visited him at his house in Newport RI... the next night we went to waterfire... and we have been together every day since... for 3 years now...
A perfect 1st date.
Ummmm...boyfriend broke my car on our first date.
Seriously! We had known each other for about eight months (we met at work) and we decided to "hang out" one Sunday afternoon and watch our mutual favorite TV show. Neither of us knew if it was a "date" or not - we both wanted it to be! We watched for a while and then decided to go get something to eat. We took my car and he rolled the window down on the shotgun side (I have power windows in the front) and the window got stuck halfway open and wouldn't close. (It had been kinda broken for a while but always went back up...but not this time.)
Dinner was nice, really good conversation. And then we went back to his place, stayed outside and looked at the stars for a while. And then we kissed. And that was REALLY nice.
We've been together for a year and a half. And the car is fine, too. :-)
P.S. I had to go get it fixed. I told him on date #2 that it just fixed itself...it wasn't until a long time later that I told him that the dealer and a couple hundred bucks fixed it.
We shared a class together and decided to study together for the final. During the study session, I could hear his stomach rumbling from across the room, but he refused to eat if I wasn't going to (I was smart & ate dinner before our 8pm meeting). The next day I made fun of him for it, and he said "I guess I'll have to take you to dinner to prove that I do eat."
So we went to dinner together (he claims I tricked him into it), and then he tried to teach me to play darts. I was so bad at it! The dartboard was set up in the hallway of his apartment and somehow I managed to impale a bottle of laundry detergent with my dart. The Tide started leaking everywhere, and I just wanted to run home and bury my head in the sand, but he thought the whole thing was hilarious. It really made me feel comfortable, and the rest is history I guess!
The FI and i met online on a website called OkCupid. I'd been single for months and quite happy in that state. in fact, one of the very first things i told him via messages was that I was poly and had NO interest in a monogamous relationship. I liked his personality but his picture was off putting as it looked odd. I almost canceled our first date because I was an emotional mess over other things, but one of my best friends forced me to meet him! Love her!
Anyhow, our first date we met to see the movie Shaun of the Dead, which was playing for free at our university theater. We met outside the theater. My first thought was something like,"This guy is drop dead gorgeous! Enjoy it while it lasts Rabbit because he'll never want to go on a second date with someone as plain as you again." And seconds later 2 uber skinny punk chics walk up to him, hug him, and begin to flirt. it was super awkward for me because- what do you say to him or them? Umm...we're on a date? He wasn't flirting back but they did chat for a moment. They eventually left. We saw the movie and after went for sandwiches. He turned out to have a whole ton of intellect behind his scrumptious exterior so we ended up in this conversation which took us from the movies to sandwiches at Jimmy John's to my livingroom futon. At around 4a when I began to think "if he's not given any indication of attraction in 7 hours of your presence, he's not interested in you like that"- he leaned in and gave me a sweet kiss! We talked and kissed until dawn when he had to leave for work.
We have been inseperable ever since (our second date was that night when he came over for movies and popcorn with my friends!). While it was not love at first sight, lust led to love very quickly for us both. I hate to think what I would have missed had my friend not forced me on our first date!
My boy and I had been friends for years, but I was in another relationship so we never saw each other - just caught up over email and facebook. Well, coincidentally, just after I broke up with the ex, he sent me a text asking how I was doing. I told him what had happened and we ended up chatting over the phone for ages, before going out for a drink a few days later.
The second I opened the door, I knew he was the one - I thought to myself "oooh Im in trouble here!" We went and grabbed a drink at a nearby bar, chatted, then walked to the beach and chatted some more. When it was time to say goodbye neither of us wanted to - so we kept inventing excuses to stay a little longer!
Our "official" first date happened a week later - we went to a spanish tapas restaurant, ate lots of food, drank some wine and I discovered that he really didnt like dessert! He tried a churro just for me anyway, and despite that discovery, I decided to keep him around anyway!
We didnt really "make it official" at any stage, because from that first date onwards, we both kind of just knew!
We went downtown for chinese food and to a comedy club. We were so awkward, so incredibly awkward. But during dinner, we were finishing each other's sentences and it ended up going really well. We were both STUFFED after the comedy show, but we wanted the date to go on longer, so we went and got EXTRA LARGE ice cream sundaes (in the middle of november and it was FREEZING!) and sat in his truck with the heater on listening to music we both (thankfully) really liked. I told him to hold my hand because my fingers were cold, and it was SO funny and awkward and sweet. :) He walked me to my door at the end of the night, and didn't try to kiss me, so I was really blown away. We had great chemistry, but I thought he was such a gentleman to not try to kiss me on the first date!
Six months later he told me he had tried to kiss me but I apparently "ignored" him? Hahaha. I thought he was a gentleman and he thought I was some sort of prude since our chemistry was so great. HA HA. I love him. :)
Well - our first "date" was at a nice restaurant... but the real story is how we met! I was meeting my uncle at the lake and we were driving to Michigan to pick up his new boat. He was bringing a "friend" along to drive his truck home as we took the boat home. Well... his "friend" ended up being 21 years old and cute ;) He was supposedly checking me out as the two of them were walking up the dock and said, hey there's a hot girl... and my uncle said, that's my niece. LOL the rest is history... love at first sight if you will :)
Well the first time we met is probably the closest to our first "date". I tagged along with my best friend to the beach where she was meeting up with 2 of her guy friends. Just so happens, one of those guy friends was mighty cute & even convinced me to try skim boarding . Of course, I was awful! It was still really fun & gave SO and I a nice little icebreaker.....
About a month later, we were roommates :)

Create the honeymoon of your dreams.
One of the first things that i seem to ask my fellow ladies in relationships is where you had your first date and how did it go? Reason being that my first date was a disaster in my eyes...we went to a QDoba...and if you dont know that is similiar to the restaurant Chipotle...and since they dont have Chipotle in SC he took me to Qdoba as I would not stop talking about Chipotle. Turns out it is very similar to its counterpart Chipotle...and since i hadnt had it for about a year...I HOOVERED my food. no kidding. 5 minutes...burrito=gone. Worst part is when i was done...i was telling a story and Teddy kept looking over my shoulder until i finally asked him...what are you looking at? He tells me..."you have rice and sour cream all over your shoulder" and sure enough I look over...and there is a huge GLOB of sour cream and rice. I tried to play it cool....but it sooooooo didnt work...but now it is one of our favorite stories to tell people...especially since they know how disastrous i can be and how much i love food. lol. Anyone else have a cute or/and funny first date story?
