I haven't really had one. That's really sad.

my husband took me flying in a two seat bi-plane.loop-de-loops, hump de bumps-the whole shebang. it was thrilling and scary at the same time!!

he was a navy pilot, and he owned his own plane which he kept in st. augustine. we both lived in jacksonville.

My boyfriend came to get me from my parents' house where I was staying for the weekend to take me to dinner, and then we went to his apartment because everything was closed except the movie theater, which we didn't want to go to. We sat and talked for hours and hours.

I went out with a guy I didn't really know at all (our friends had hooked us up) to a baseball game. We tailgated with his friends, who I got along with immediately, and had a blast through most of the game til it started pouring down raining, and we were goofing off in the stadium, soaking wet, running back to our cars after he grabbed my hand, and we had the most randomly awesome kiss in the rain that was coming down so hard I could barely see him...then went to a nearby bar to warm up and dry off and had a great conversation all night.

Although, that was actually our last date too, because turned out to be super shady, lol, but it was a great first and last!

Dinner at what was, at that point in time, our favorite sushi place where we were both so nervous we could hardly eat and then the Promenade in downtown Brooklyn followed by drivng around and parking in a parking lot and just talking all night.

My favourite date ever was my first Red Sox game. I'm pretty hardcore about my boys but I hadn't been to Fenway until this year. I managed to get seats 4 rows back from right field where I could see my favourite player actually lifesize.
We won the game, I wore my red sox letters and I saw my favourite team for the first time with my favourite person in the whole world. Everything about that date was perfect.
It's going to take a lot to top that date.

My first date with my husband was to a Dodger game.

We are both HUGE Dodger fans though at the time, he honestly thought I was one of those girls that claimed she liked sports to catch a guys interest. I surprised him when we started talking stats, players, & when I caught a glimpse of Vin Scully & pointed him out. It was the best first date I've ever had.

THe Promenade. I wish I lived over there just so I could have a first date on it. So many memories...

So mine wasn't a date, but it was when my ex and I started talking. He met us up at Ram's Horn after a party, and somehow we ended up holding hands. I was drunk and felt sick, so we went outside, and then he kissed me. Woulda been nice if it was a first date.

All of mine have been date disasters. I guess for the most part I've always gone in thinking maybe I can gain a new friend. The women that I have gone out with have been attractive but too shallow. One of them told me she only dates frat boys. I was like huh????

So my first date, though I am no longer with him, was by far the best. I was 15, he was 17. We went for coffee then ice skating. Then, we went on a hike by the lake to watch the sun set. Then, he said we had to get going because we had dinner reservations. I was confused and mad b/c I was so not prepared (dressed) for dinner reservations! Then, we ended up at his parents house (c'mon we were still in high school lol) where he had made me dinner and dessert, which we ate at a table decorated with candles by the pool in the back yard, which was decorated with pretty lights. hmmmm....

My best first date was a five-day road trip. Holy hell that was awesome.

My best first date was with my husband.

Before he asked me out we had been talking about the fireworks (a Vancouver event that happens every summer). I was telling him how I always wanted to see them from the water, and how I love being on boats.

He told me that he was going out the next night with his dad and brother on their boat. I was kind of disappointed he didn't ask me along, but it was guys night I suppose, and I didn't know his dad or brother, in fact I didn't really know my husband all that well.

A couple of days later he calls me to set up our first date for the upcoming Saturday. He told me we were going out on his Dad's boat to watch the fireworks. Then and there I knew he was a keeper. I was supper excited.

Ok, I was going to start a similar thread but found this one when I searched . . . so I'm a go ahead and revive a 2006 thread!

My best first date ever was this week. He picked me up on this huge motorcycle! He's 6'5'' and 265 lbs. Yep, imagine that with all 5' and 130 lbs. of little old me. I had never been on a motorcycle before and when I told him that over the phone, he immediately said we would go for a ride on our first date. The thought terrified me but I agreed anyway. When he picked me up, he was very gentle in putting the helmet on me and telling me to hold on to him tight. I thought it was a great excuse to get that close to him on a first date without coming across as easy lol

The ride was oh so much fun. It was late evening. Night weather was beautiful, not too cold, not too warm. He drove us to the beach and we talked for hours by the pier right above the water. We had a late dinner @ a restaurant on the pier, and yes, he took care of the bill. Then we walked and talked around some more before riding back home. All in 6 hours. We got along really well, just like old friends. Great flowing conversation. All we did the whole time was talk nonstop.

It was the funnest, nicest first date I've ever had (except for the helmet hair - I could have definately done without that!). It was very well planned out. I must say I was impressed, which doesn't happen often. It was as if the whole night was all about me, which any lady knows that's the way to go on a first date lol Seriously, I felt like I was in a movie, like it was a date right out of a chick flick and I don't even like chick flicks!

Made it home by 1am. I follow a personal rule that I don't kiss on a first date. But how could I not break it this time?

Who else has a great first date to share here? I know y'all been out since the last post in 2006!

This was prior to our first date, but still the best thing ever:

I met my b/f through a friend I used to work with. We met about a month before my birthday. About a week before my birthday (my birthday happened to fall on a Friday) I had told him my friends and I were planning to go to City Limits, a club in Raleigh, for my birthday. He told me that he had some friends coming into town the night of my birthday that he hadn't seen in a really long time. I told him it was cool and to spend the night with his friends, spring break was that following week, maybe we could get together then.

The night of my birthday, my friends and I are at City Limits and I start receiving these text messages from him asking me if I was there at the club, if I was having fun, what my plans were afterwards, etc. I had replied to him that I didn't know what plans were for afterwards. So...my friend who I met him through, she had driven us and we went out on the patio so she could make a phone call. We were out there 2 seconds...and she starts yelling his name and waving. I said to her "Why are you yelling his name? He's with his friends that are in town" and she replied, "no, he's here!" So I walked inside and there he was paying his cover to come in! I was sooooo surprised! NO ONE had ever done anything like this for me before! Best birthday present ever!

I didn't feel my phone vibrate for the last text message he sent me...when I replied to him asking where he was, his response: I'm at this place called City Limits.

Our first date was a few days later...we went to an Indian restaurant. I had never had Indian food before, but it was very relaxed (especially since we'd already been meeting up on campus and talking online for a month before hand).

Here we are today...a year and a half later still together
