DH and I met on the first day of junior high, 18 years ago. We started dating at the end of 7th grade and were together until 10th. Then I broke up with him to date his best friend (he has almost forgiven me for that ), went off to college with the best friend, and he moved in with a female coworker. We were still pretty good friends through all this. During the winter of my senior year of college, I came back home to attend his wedding to the female coworker. I cried like a baby the entire time. During the spring of my senior year of college, my best friend since kindergarten got an email from DH letting her know that his marriage was over and he wanted to hook back up with our group (XW did NOT like us so he had kind of drifted off). Friend emailed me, very excited. She was having a party in a couple of weeks, so I offered to give DH a ride to Indy. The night before the party, I went over to his house to watch a movie, and (except for driving back to take finals and graduate) never left. The funny part is that the anniversary of the second time we started dating is the exact same anniversary of the first time we started dating (May 5). Together 8 years this time, married almost 5. None of that was probably helpful to Tdog, though...sorry! wow midjd what a story - interesting story how did the breakup go with you in college ?

One bad first date was a guy from online who looked nothing like his picture - was at least 50 lbs heavier and was sloppily dressed. And it came out pretty quickly that he was still living with his ex gf and he went on a mini rant about her and her new bf. ETA: I have a couple dates that never were from online. Pretty sure I'd be dead if I went to those.

Oh yeah, it's nice when the guys photographs are ok but then you see them in person and are I wish it would happen more often.

Met DH at a local hangout where my brothers & other car racers hung out when I was still in H/S. He was 4 yrs older than me - when I first saw him, I thought he was a bit of a "greaser rebel" - Think Danny Zuko from Grease, - but he was funny & we had a lot in common.
Took a few weeks of seeing each other there before he approached me to ask me out on a "real" date (he may be have been worried about my big brothers).
We dated for 3 or 4 mo's before getting serious about it - that's when I started to transform him into a more stylish rebel.
I guess I was the "Sandy" to his "Danny". It worked for us for 34 years.

My BF described a similar date where it was immediately obvious all the pictures he had seen were several years old and she appeared to have doubled in size. She called him after and he tried to be honest and said he didn't feel a physical attraction. She accused him of being superficial and made him feel bad.

My BFF had an awesomely funny first date as a broke college student... Guy asked her to the movies. They get there and he has no $$ for the movies . Apparently, his friend works there and he thought the friend would "sneak them in". Yeah, he forgot to ask if the friend was working that night. He "negotiates" a cheaper price with the person working and she ends up paying because he has no $$. They get in and are sitting down when he bends over quickly. He excuses himself to the restroom. When he comes back, the usher and an old man come into the theater (movie hasn't started) and are looking around near their seats. Ask them if they have seen a wallet (the old man's, fell out during the previous show). They tell the usher/man "no, haven't seen anything" and watch movie. After the movie, he asks her if she wants to get something to eat. Suddenly, he has money for food.. Yeah, turns out the "bend down" was grabbing the wallet and he went to the restroom to clean out the money before ditching the wallet. He proudly tells her he did this! She declines the food offer and goes home... he can't figure out why she won't give him a kiss goodnight or see him again...
