First Date

[ladymoreta]

Inspired by the "Today" thread... What and when was your first date with your spouse/SO?

Ours was seeing Titanic at the mall, 15 years ago (1998).

Sushi at Yuka on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, followed by coffee at the Starbucks next door. It rained really hard. We've long planned to make a trip back to NYC for our tenth wedding anniversary in 2015.

March 2001.

Our first date was to our company Christmas party and we didn't want our co-workers to know we were dating yet. Unfortch, DH didn't realize that the waitstaff kept refilling his cocktail every time he took a drink and set it down. He didn't believe me when I told him what they were doing until I made him take a drink, set it down, and watch it a minute. A hand with a full pitcher of Long Island iced-tea magically appeared and refilled his glass. He's not much of a drinker and his response was along the lines, "Oh, shit -- that's not good..."

And dude gets a *tad* friendly when he's drunk. He kept telling me that no one can tell that we're together as he's rubbing my legs from mid-calf to high-thigh under the table. Seriously, he was having to bend over at the waist to do this. Dude doesn't do subtle.

Um, yeah -- I think that cat's out of the bag, dipshit.

Our first date may or may not have lasted 48 hours, and I may or may not have had to do the Walk of Shame the next morning at DH's hospital while he did rounds, wearing the same clothes from the night before. Oops.

July, 2001. We went to Applebee's on a double-date, followed by bowling, and then back to our mutual friend's house to watch The Patriot. We've been back to Applebee's once, been bowling once, and haven't watched The Patriot since

December 1997, I was a brand-new college freshman and he was the sophisticated sophomore. We went to Good Will Hunting and out to some generic Thai restaurant where I ordered chicken teriyaki because I was afraid of "ethnic" food. So funny since Thai is one of my favorite cuisines now!

March 15, 1990. We went to TCBY for frozen yogurt and then to see "Joe VS The Volcano" . He bought me a promise ring 8 weeks later

Valentines Day 2004. I was 15 and he was 16. We saw "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton" or "50 First Dates"--cant remember which now--and awkwardly talked in the food court of the same mall next to where the IMSN conference will be

Valentines Day 2004. I was 15 and he was 16.

If I didn't heart you so much, I'd be tempted to call you names.

I'm old. 2004 was first year of med school for us and I think I was 29...

[SoonerTexan]

Not old, aged to perfection

It was February 1995 at our schools Sweetheart's Dance. We were both 17 and had been friends for almost two years before.

He asked me to our senior prom in 2001. Neither of us had dates and the group of mutal friends that we went with set it up. We did go to a movie together after he asked me, so I guess that was really our first date.

Feb 3rd, 2007

I broke up with my terrible ex who was planning on proposing and ran to my best friend of 2 years (DH). We promptly did not leave his house/bed for 2 days. I had been madly in love with him for 1.99 years (from 5 minutes after I met him) but didn't know he felt the same way. Once I knew, well, we made out and then started planning our wedding that afternoon...

April 25, 2003 - we were freshmen in college, and he took me out to Texas Roadhouse for my birthday. We had met through mutual friends and hung out a couple of times, but this was the first time the two of us went out alone. He was too nervous to eat, and I felt like a giant pig. After that we went to the Waco Suspension Bridge and walked around, got some ice cream at Maggie Moo's, and went and saw Anger Management (he disagrees on this part, I had the ticket stub for the longest time but can't seem to find it anymore).
