Hellobee Boards

OMG, us too! I was on a date with hubs and didn't even know it! This was when we were still just friends and he asked me if I wanted to go out and eat. I said yes not thinking anything of it because we always went out together - no big deal. He took me to a cool, upscale place and still, it didn't click. We actually didn't officially start dating until months after that incident!

Our first REAL and official date was to a cute little restaurant. We drove around the city, had coffee, talked...It was sweet.

when i met mr. bee, it wasn't a date, but it turned into one. it was the best first date ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Rubies: @artbee: you girls are too cute!

DH and I never really had a first date! We talked for a month before actually meeting. When we did meet for the first time it was at the airport..

lol... Rob Sr. totally stood me up for our first date. It's a pretty famous story that my MOH actually told during her toast at our wedding. It's pretty hilarious because he is TOTALLY not the type to ever do something like that. I don't think he really thought it was a date. I really have to tell the entire story to get the full effect... maybe I will in my xanga and link it to here because that will REALLY be a novel

For our real first date we ended up walking around the city for about 3 hours... we probably covered several miles! We just ate and had dessert and walked and talked, then went back to my place and talked some more, and he did NOT kiss me...!

For our second or third date we went to a local hot dog place and he got the "Freakin Hot Hot Dog" and had sweat dripping down his face, and then eventually tears rolling down his cheeks because it was so hot. Hilarious.

@artbee: I flew to ATL from CA to meet him! He was picking me up from the airport.

I give my DH a hard time about our first date. To me I didnt think of it as a first date and I really did not want to go. He had tickets to a concert and the person he was going with last min could not go so he asked me. I felt bad for him and he was not going to go by himself. So told him call me if he absolutley cant find someone. So he calls me and tells me he cant find anyone else to go. Well that night I enjoyed my time with him and finally saw him as more than a friend. So over all it was a good thing. But he eventually told me after dating for some time that he never asked anyone else if they could go. After I said I would if no one else could he just waited and then told he he "could not" find anyong. Tricky boy!

@Mrs. Bee: i enjoyed rereading your mr. and mrs. bee series! i remember reading it when you first blogged. the list of questions mr. bee had to answer is classic. i had to LOL at the one about the roman empire. i can't wait to grill my future son-in-law in the same manner! hehehe. 9/11 also did something great for my relationship with the DH so it's nice to know that good things did come out of that horrible event.

i don't think DH and I ever really dated. we lived a few doors down from each other freshman year of college so we just hung out a lot!

We never really had a first date. We met at a party. And then he invited me to another party the next night (hello, college), and then one night we wound up at Waffle house in the middle of the night. So that was our first like "meal out of the house"

Our beginnings were very romantic. Can't you tell?

@highwire: don't worry our official first date was breakfast : ) we met up at a frat party and you can guess where the night led!

Our first date was at a bar we both liked for martinis and dinner. My husband is my former undergrad professor so I think there was some question whether my “do you want to get drinks sometime?” email to him was a real date or not. About 5 minutes in, it was clearly a date. We stayed until the bar closed at 1, then went walking around town, then went back to his place and watched movies/talked until the early morning then crashed for a few hours and went to breakfast. We were basically inseparable after that, and I knew midway through that first date that he was the one – even though neither of us were looking for a relationship at that time, and were just looking to have some fun.

We kind of had two first dates since we dated once in 2004, parted ways, then got back together in 2007. Our first date back in 2004 was to a byob sushi place on the UES. I remember we were so poor (22 and fresh out of school) and DH bought an 'expensive' $10 magnum of wine and we shared an entree. I was super nervous around him because I was so infatuated. The date went alright, but isn't really special to me since back then he wasn't interested in a relationship and the tryst ended in heartache (for me).

Fast forward to 2007, he reconnected with me through a mutual friend and asked to meet up to 'discuss business' (we work in the same industry). He was smart to approach it this way since I was so hurt from our past, I wouldn't have met up with him if I thought it was a date. I was nervous about seeing him again, but I eventually relaxed since he really did make it seem like it was a business meeting and our mutual friend was there. I admitted casually that I had just started dating someone which I later learned infuriated him and sparked him to move quickly with me.

I was actually surprised when he emailed me two days later and asked me to meet up for a drink after work - alone. But at that point I felt like i had nothing to lose since he knew I was dating someone else (not seriously) and he was doing all the chasing, not me. So I agreed to meet up, but intentionally watched my alcohol intake closely so I didn't get even tipsy which dismayed him even more. We had a great time and he was finally the guy I wanted him to be, asking me out on the next date while still on our current date, calling every day, etc. I immediately broke it off with the other guy, but didn't tell DH that for a good month. It drove him absolutely insane, but I kind of thought he deserved it

Our first "date" consisted of DH making me his regular meal: dinosaur chicken nuggets, curly fries, and Sunny Delight. We watched the presidential debates and played Obama and McCain bingo with these sheets he found online. It was so fun.

Our first date where we went out was just to dinner at a local restaurant, and we were already "boyfriend-girlfriend" at that point. Nothing exciting. But a few weeks into our relationship, he took me on a really fun day trip to a nearby city. We went to a Obama rally (we were really political at the time haha), went to the zoo, went shopping and then went to dinner. We told each other we loved each other after! It was THE BEST DAY.

Is it bad that I can't even remember what our first date was? I just remember him always being around (he was friends and coworkers with my stepdad). I think we went to the movies. Or maybe that's the date I remember because he finally kissed me that night.

we actually started talking again before our first official date, which was in the city. he took me out to dinner, we walked all the way to midtown for some dessert i was craving, walked back down for some comedy club, then met up the next day. i was in love! hehe.

@katdevargas: My husband's name is Nico! We've never met another one. Do new people constantly get your husband's name wrong like they do mine? Sorry to threadjack, I just got excited as it's not very common.

@DigAPony: that's neat! come to think of it, I don't know of anyone else called nico, either. his name is actually nicolas, but everyone calls him nico. they also always misspell it {with an H} & most white people we meet call him "nic". there seems to be an aversion to the o in my area is your husband's given name nico?

@katdevargas: Yes, he is Nico, though most people think it's Nicolas. No one can spell it correctly, and I have a professor who's met my husband several times and always calls him Meeko. Only fellow Spanish speakers understand.

I think our first date was dinner at Max & Erma's and watching Me, You, Dupree. I don't remember all of the movie LOLOLOL.

Im not 100% sure because we met in highschool and just ended up being together all the time but I want to say our.first.date type of deal was.him taking me to mcdonalds haha.
