When did you go on your first date?

[-]

graciemose@reddit

when I was 18 or 19 in my first year of college

[-]

Don't think reddit is a good place to ask this question since a lot of chronically online people are socially awkward but I didn't start properly dating until I was 19 and had a car but most dating starts in the teenage years. I'd had flings with girls before that just never went outside of school with a girl romantically

[-]

SignificantApricot69@reddit

19, almost everyone I knew had been on dates or had a GF before then.

famousanonamos@reddit

My first date was going to the movies. But "dating" in high school didn't really involve a lot of actually dates. You were boyfriend and girlfriend and hung out at school, and if you had cool parents you hung out at each other's houses or went to parties or school dances. Maybe you'd go get food or go to the movies sometimes, but a lot of my "dates" were groups of friends doing stuff together and some of us were dating each other.

ccroy2001@reddit

Junior High? Ours was grades 7 to 9 and I was in the 9th grade. We had a 9th grade prom. I think my friends pressure me to ask a girl. I was so nervous and surprised when she said yes. It wasn't a good date. I ended up talking to someone else's date at the dinner after the date b/c we had similar sense of humor and just chatted away the evening to the chagrin of our respective dates.

I was probably 30 before I dated for romance and failed there for a multitude of reasons.

So I am 60 and have been happy on my own (as long as I have a cat).

in the gay community it's very common and normal for people to start later because they might not have had earlier opportunities to be out or to be around enough people who were, to meet someone you would date.

[-]

ThePurityPixel@reddit

I'm gonna take "dating" to imply "with the intention of potentially entering a long-term relationship," which is something I never understood doing before one is old enough to marry.

So I didn't begin dating till college.

If one means "dating" to include fun little flirty one-on-one get-togethers, I honestly don't even recall.

[-]

MmmIceCreamSoBAD@reddit

I 'dated' a girl when I was in seventh grade (I guess I was like 12), she ended up breaking up with me through a friend, we didn't hang out enough at lunch/recess.

My first real dating experience was at 16 though, my first and only girlfriend that lasted until after we graduated.

I went to 4 dif middle schools(military) 1st school for 6 and part of 7. Moved across town for 2nd for part of 7, changed states for 3rd for part of 7 and part of 8, moved cities for 4th for rest of 8 and part of 9(strange school system rhat 10-12 waa HS) Not a single one had "recess".

[-]

MmmIceCreamSoBAD@reddit

Probably a state thing then since virtually all education stuff is handled at a state/local level. Looking it up online, Illinois recommends it through 8th grade though its only mandatory through sixth. I also went to a Lutheran grade school so that might've changed things as well.

And yeah it stopped for ninth grade where we just had grown up recess aka 'gym'

I was 18, I think. Stereotypical dinner and a movie. Then we hung out on swings at a nearby park talking for like 2 hours. Completely unplanned and we didn't describe it as a date until a few months later when one of us finally asked if we were dating or not.

[-]

shelwood46@reddit

Dating wasn't part of my culture either, and have always lived in America. You'd do group hangouts and then maybe solo hangouts, not actual formal dates. I'm not sure I've ever been on a classical "date", maybe when I was single for a bit when I was 45? I certainly never did dates with the guys I was actually seeing long-term, we just did stuff or had meals.

Age 16, but I didn't see it as "dating to marry". It was more like "practice".

[-]

EcstasyCalculus@reddit

I was 16 too and I didn't even see it as "practice", I just saw it as an opportunity to spend quality time with the girl I liked

[-]

DameWhen@reddit

Well, we were already friends, so we were already spending time together.

I broke up with him when he graduated because it was kind of like, "You don't want to have this chick from your highschool holding you back. Let's just go back to being friends, no harm."

The he ended the friendship and accused me of cheating.

Kind of wish he had been looking at the whole thing a little closer to hiw you were. Maybe the friendship could've been salvaged?

Either way, there's no way dating before college should ever be serious, so we're in agreement there.

melonbrains@reddit

My first "date" was when I was 16. It was with a friend and we decided towards the end/waiting for her mom to pick her up that "yeah that was a date!". That was my first "relationship".

My first real date was at 18 and it was quite possibly the worst first date I could imagine without assault being in the mix. Only had two more dates after that, one of which went nowhere and the other did involve assault.

My first real relationship wasn't until I was 24 and we're now 3 years in. Honestly wouldn't change a thing about it.

A couple of years ago, at age 27. I wasn't born in the US, moved here after living somewhere. Where I was born, people don't go on dates. Well they do go on dinner dates etc but after they're already in a relationship. But they don't go on "exploratory dates" to "interview" the other person. They just see someone they like, ask her out, then she can say yes or no. If she says yes, they start a relationship and see where it goes. I experienced the idea of going on dates before you're in a relationship after I immigrated here, and in my late 20s.

College, in my early 20s. I never get approached by strangers and none of my friends has ever confessed feelings for me. I didn’t start dating until dating sites like eHarmony first came out (and they were sites; this was pre-smart phones). I still have never had a date with someone I didn’t meet online, and I’m mid-40s.

Granted, I was in a committed relationship and then married for all of my 30s, and I’ve only been out on three dates (with the same person) since we agreed to divorce over two years ago.

Background-Passion50@reddit

We didn’t so much go on a first date as we had already kind of been dating or did the process very backwards. I mentioned this when someone in another board ask when you started to become attracted to girls so let me explain. I went to kindergarten at a time when it was half days and my grandma was best friends with a girl in my classes grandma so we grew up together as they took turns taking us home and we would often spend the afternoon to evening at one house or the other. Naturally as boys and girls do we started to become attracted to one another as we developed and got older. So by 8th grade we were dating and experimenting after all we’d already heard about the birds and bees and now we wanted to experiment with those feelings so all of our firsts were with eachother. By high school we started to drift apart and by Junior year we stopped talking to eachother entirely. She’s now married to a hedge fund manager last I heard and I’m married to a German girl I met while serving overseas.

Semi-Pros-and-Cons@reddit

For me, it depends on what counts. In high school, I had a brief relationship with a girl who lived like an hour's drive away, but it was before I could drive, so I don't think we ever had a real date. Then my first "real" relationship was also long-distance, and it started online, so by the time we had a date, we were already in a relationship. That lasted a few years, followed by a multi-year dry spell. Then I finally went the more conventional route and got a date via online dating. I must have been like 26 or 27 then.

Probably the Winter Formal dance when I was 14.

But yeah. I think it was a dance at 14. Her dad fed her a really garlicky pasta right before so she’d be too bloated and smelly to kiss, but we kissed anyway. Right at the end of the slow dance to Time after Time. *sigh. To be young and awkward about physical contact again…

xxxHAL9000xxx@reddit

First of all, this was before cell phones, before the internet, and before security cameras(except inside banks)

My first date was on the sly and unplanned. I was 18 and i worked evenings after school. Some days later than others. There was a female coworker who liked me. her parents were out of town. she was supposed to call them when she got home from work. we both decided to call our parents from work and tell them we had to work all night because somebody called in sick. And then we went to a movie together, the late show, after our shift ended. She was 2 years younger than me and they wouldnt let her in the movie theater because it was an R rated film. There was no PG film showing for the late show.

Now we had a problem. I couldnt go home yet because i told my parents i was at work. She decided i should go home with her since she had the house to herself. And that was my first date. Unsupervised, unchaperoned, alone with a 16 year old girl all night long in her bedroom. prior to that night i had never even kissed a girl or even held hands.

It was a nice little tea and coffee place in town with a great outdoors dining area. Exactly one year later it's also where I proposed to her (by playing/singing "I Wanna Grow Old With You" from The Wedding Singer) at that same table.

I'd go out with my high school girlfriend to eat and stuff. I guess they were technically dates. We were 16 or thereabouts.
