Never had a chaperone since my age got into double digits. I've always been far too independent and self-sufficient, even as a pre-teen. And I was one of the Gen-X exceptions: my parents were (and still are) together and my mother was always home, and my dad in the evenings and weekends. But I trained them early not to expect me to inform them where I was going or otherwise to get them used to the idea that they could restrict where I went. Granted, I was a good kid and didn't commit crimes or otherwise get into trouble, but even at 12 I rode my bike to the movies (5-ish miles from home) or even a few towns over to the big regional mall (20 miles). I stayed out late with friends, did band activities, and so on.

I started dating girls at 14, and there were a LOT of single parents who were rarely home, so there was no one to chaperone anything.

I was 16, had returned home from college for a weekend, and asked Connie for a date. She was a beautiful girl who was a senior at my high school. We went to see a movie and I thought I was one cool dude!

i don’t remember having any chaperoned date considering i was pretty sneaky about dates in highschool. At 15 i went on my first ever date with this girl, knew her from highschool and she was in the same grade level as me. We went to the mall, had some donuts and went for a movie. I figured out at the end of the date that i wasn’t into her, probably cuz of the contrast in presentation and personality. I was a hot headed teen that’s willing to destroy anyone that got in my way, and i was also planning on a career path that would increase my chances of getting killed during work. And she was pretty normal.

I was 15. It was with my second boyfriend. We sneaked out of our coaching centre and got cone Oreo ice creams. But he kicked a dog which came near him and that's when I started noticing how he's... not very nice and obviously it was our last date too.

HawkPerception · Answer

Never had a chaperone 😂 But my first date was around when I was 18 or 19? I genuinely can't remember. I met my first girlfriend in high school, but didn't date until after when I was in college. Life was a lot more... eventful and lively back then. In comparison to then, I'm living a pretty dull life these days. A part of me misses it and a part of me is relieved it's over.

HS Prom was chaperoned so… next date was the guy I married. 🤷🏻‍♀️ early 20s.

OneViewpoint · Answer

I've never had a chaperone. Started hanging out with girls (wouldn't call it dating per se) around 12-13. First date where I had my own car and we actually went somewhere for an evening was around 16 and we went to a drive in movie. She got upset because I wasn't getting hands on quickly enough, LOL. She resorted to sarcasm to get me moving in the direction she wanted.

Zack-Bann · Answer

We don’t do chaperones where I’m from

I was 19 when I asked a cute girl in English class in college for dinner
Picked her up
We had a nice time
I didn’t get a second date though
(She wasn’t feeling it)

Ironically she got married a couple of years later and I went on to become way more successful than I would have been if I had spent all my time and energy on her

So everyone won at some level

I never had a chaperone. I had a girlfriend when I was 13. There was a "greatroom" that was separate from the living room in her house and on Saturday nights we'd really have some major makeout sessions. Her mom did walk by that room on occasion and caught me with my hand up her blouse. She said something about it but didn't seen to concerned. LOL

We did stuff in school at age 13 (and one episode at age 12) and that mixed in with just hanging out so we were sort of dating all along and trying to stay away from parents as much as we could. It was easier when I got with older boys who could drive.

Beckybooboo · Answer

16, he was 17. It took a LOT of convincing for my parents to accept the fact that a boy, with a car and license, was gonna take me out. Especially, since that's how my parents became an item lol

honestly, after I had been sexually assaulted so much via online dating, I completely understand why chaperones existed on dates 200 years ago. And they should still exist today. Men will sexually assault you when there is no one else is around. And its hard to believe that this there is barely anyone discussing this topic. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Who dates with a chaperone?  Didn't that nonsense end in the 1950s?

Kelley1 · Answer

I don't know, maybe 7. What is a date, other than you meet a boy, and do something together, whether that is setting in the yard and talking or holding hands and exploring the neighborhood.

Lliam · Answer

Chaperone? I wasn't dating in 1910. I never had a chaperone.  At school dances, there were a few teachers and/or adults keeping an eye on things and they were called chaperones.

13 or 14. We double dated at the movies. Lots of kissing going on. Eventually I dated the other girl that was on the double date. Through my teens I went through their whole friend group and then some.

I guess the 1st "date" would've happened at almost 23 years old. I asked a co-worker to go with me to another co-worker's house party. We did, and I was too sexually aroused through too much of the party, and ended up suffering from "blue-balls" because of it.
