How old were you, when you had your first date?

Question

I would have to say that my first date was on 20 NOV 1980. It was the Thursday before Thanksgiving.

The girl's name was Laura and she was a friend of mine that I had been tutoring. I was a senior in high school; 17 and about to turn 18 in about 7 weeks; she was a junior who had turned 16 2 months earlier.

She would become my first girlfriend; I don't know the date of that, but I do remember what happened... :)

Anyway, back to the first date,... I took her to a laser show at the Vanderbilt Planetarium in Centerport NY. Laser shows were fun because you lie back and they play cool rock music and have laser imagery beamed on the ceiling. It was a popular thing to do in the late 1970s and early 1980s. (Google "Laserium").

Here's an example:

I was 16. We (not official at that point in time) were at a local japanese food chain, and I was telling her about this girl I had a crush on. She kept asking questions that made it obvious if it was her or not. "Is she good at art? Does she like animals?" etc.

I denied with all my existence that it was her. But I texted her later at night coming clean that she was my crush. Funny thing is, she did not reply the rest of the night and only got texted in the morning. I thought she was uninterested, but her mom had confiscated her phone🤣🤣

We ended up together but broke up after a short while. My parents got in our way. She is a good girl, I'll tell you that.

My first date was when I was a 15 year old sophomore and he was a 17 year old junior. We went to see a play in uptown called Little House of Horrors at the theater, then we walked to the Subway and I remembered ordering a foot long buffalo chicken sub with extra hot sauce, ranch, lettuce, tomatoes, spinach, and banana peppers. Then we went yovthr record store and looked at the records, then to the candy/chocolate shop to sample some fudge (and yes candy and chocolate including the fudge was purchased). The date ended with us sitting at the fountain people watching and talking while listening to my MP3 player. I remember the song played being Duck Duck Grey Goose by the band Let's Get It (remember this was the 2010s). To this day I like simple dates

I was 13. I had a dated a short-term best friend (f). We were both curious about actually dating the same sex. She was a Christian girl who was curious, with Christian parents. We became friends, then best friends after a while. Then, over the first week of summer, she contacted me, wanting to give me her answer about dating. I had asked her out before school ended for the summer. Our first and last date was at Burger King. We broke up because her mother reported me to the police, telling them that I was a pedophile. My ex was 12 and I was 13.

melanieeeB · Answer

I was 16 but at first I didn't know it was a date, later he then said "it's a date" and I actually literally did run away.
So yeah... my first date that I agreed to from the get go was I guess with 18 but I can't really remember, sadly that memory is overshadowed by the first one mentioned

dustybiker · Answer

I never did formal dating. I did adventurous days. They either kept up or didn’t. 🤪 Late teens. If they managed to get past my herd of male protectors.

Alessa13 · Answer

I was in 7th grade and had just turned 13th, this date was really just walking and holding hands and talking.

Hanging out for a day, much like friends would hang out. Went to a park and talked while on the swings, when others showed up we left and walked to a outside strip shopping mall and went into various stores and talked more.

Nothing fancy, no kisses, no anything like that. Yet it was still very memorable.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

I've never been on a date.
My type of woman is not the "go on a date" type, they are the "hang out at home and have fun" type.
They are also the type of woman to want privacy when showing affection, dates are too public for that.
