my honey and i have been a couple for almost a year. We've been living together since the beginning of the year. We met at a friends house one night august 30th andhe asked me out the next day. On our first date we were going to go to a movie and dinner. i had to drop my son off with a relative to wathhim (he's 4). i got him dropped off ok and when i got in my car to leave my battery was dead. My current honey is a mechanic, thank God. so called him to cancel teh date and told him my car was broke down. he came by and got my car running then followed me to buy a new battery, installed it for me in the rain and followed me back to my house. looking back on it it was not the ideal date. haha

Where did you go? We went to Superior Bar and Grill. It's a nice Mexican restaurant with killer Margaritas. It's in Shreveport, LA and has delicious food. Great first date spot!

What did you do? We ate dinner and then went to the Horseshoe casino. I'm not a gambler, but Shane played Black Jack and I was very entertained by the game and the atmosphere of the place. I love going even though I don't know how to play the games. I had a couple of drinks and just enjoyed the company.

Were there any surprises? Not really. I mean, I had no idea where we were going, so I guess that was a surprise. But I could also say that being treated like a lady was a wonderful change and a surprise because after all, I DID meet him in a bar! LOL!

Did you kiss him? No, we didn't kiss. I would have, but I guess we were too shy.

Who made the first move? I did. Not a big move, but I asked him in after he brought me home and we talked for like 2 hours on the couch and then as he left, I reached up and hugged him tight.

Anything else you care to add about the date, do it here. Shane was a sweetheart and we had a great time. We had great conversation and there was never an awkward silence. I enjoyed the date and saw him again the next week. And talked to him in between. Of course, I got scared of how perfect he was for me and bolted, but we all know where that went....boy and I glad I came to my senses!!

Where did you go?

We met up at Roadrunner, a bar/grille.

What did you do?

We ate dinner together, and then we went and sat at a comfy booth at the bar and a few of his friends joined us.

Were there any surprises?

YES! It was a HUGE surprise to find out that he was 11 years older than me and had 2 kids (I knew he had kids) that were 16 and 14 (I imagined his kids would be YOUNG! Because I thought he was my age!) LOL

Did you kiss him?

No.

Who made the first move?

No one made any moves on our first date. Or our second. On our third - I leaned over and kissed him.

Anything else you care to add about the date, do it here.

I lived all of 2 miles away from Roadrunner. We ended up staying, talking, until about 1 am on a work night, and after we left, he called me to see if I made it home all right. I thought that was so sweet. We talked during his entire drive home (he lived 20 miles from Roadrunner at that time) because he was so sleepy. I remember being really smitten. :)

Where did you go?

We did meet previously for one drink but we dont count that as the first date is was a very brief meeting... so the first date I drove over to his place and we left in his car we then went to -Sawatadee - Thai restaurant, and then walked around out door mall talking, then went to 2 bars- one to meet his freinds and one I go to and they had karaoke and I sang "Thank You" by Dido which he claims is kinda our song now. Then back to his place to end the night and I did end up going in for awhile. We talked and he put in Fleetwood Mac DVD to watch /listen to in background and we just talked and did end up kissing and kissing and kissing (no more than that) --- and then I DID GO HOME !! ;)



Were there any surprises?

Hmmm I dont think so I remember just feeling excited yet really comfortable and conversation was great and didnt want the night to end-- and I ALMOST didnt let it.

Did you kiss him?

OH YES! I kissed him ALOT!

Who made the first move?

God after the wonderful night we had - both of us probably did I dont remember??

I have been with my SO for over a year now.. We met online in a chat room. We both were a little nervous about meeting. We both had went through divorces and have children and a little weary about the dating thing again. Well, after 3 weeks of talking we decided to meet. I had planned a girl's night out, and invited him to come out. Didn't think he would show, but he did. It was great. We danced and talked all night. We ended the night with a hug and kiss on the cheek. We then went on our first real date the next day, dinner/movie/sunset. It was great and I am so in love. He is a great guy and my children adore him.

Take care :-)

Where did you go? ~~~ Out for a couple of drinks, then to a local driving range (our first date was him teaching me how to hit a golf ball, because he overheard me say to someone else that I wanted to) That was VERY fun with him. And then a walk downtown in the cooling June evening and we stopped off for ice cream before he took me home.

What did you do? ~~~ Oh, I guess I answered this in the above. Drank a beer, hit golf balls, walked, ate ice cream!

Were there any surprises? ~~~ The conversation was surprising. He's a great conversationalist. Never got bored or had to carry things myself. He asked me out for a second date when he dropped me off

We met for Coffee at Starbucks for our first date. We sat and talked for several hours and confirmed everything we already knew about eachother. Our 2nd date was a "real" date so I'll talk about that one...

Where did you go? We met at the Seattle Center in Downtown Seattle.

What did you do? We had dinner at the EMP (Experience Music Project), walked around Seattle Center and then caught the monorail down to the city center. We went to Gameworks and spent an hour or two shooting hoops and shooting zombies. :) Then we caught a movie - Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

Were there any surprises? yes, I completely took him offguard by kissing him first outside the EMP. It took his breath away and he will never forget it.

Did you kiss him? See above. :)

Who made the first move? See above. :)

Anything else you care to add about the date, do it here. We go to Seattle Center on a regular basis now with the kids. Everytime we walk by that spot at the EMP where I kissed him the first time, he stops and dips me and kisses me. And the kids all pretend to barf. It's so darn cute!!! :)

AWW thanks, hon! Sometimes first dates are not so great, but even so, they are memorable and if you can get past all the fumbling and silly mistakes due to nerves, you can have something special with someone. I guess we all proved that!!
