    I had my first "official" date around 16-17. I had two girlfriends before that that just kind of happened without much "dating" involved. Then there was a pretty dry period for a while until pretty close to when I was turning 19 and now i am still with the guy I started dating then :P

    I started early!
    Dated at age 11, started "experimenting" at age 12, fell in love at age 16, married at age 18, 5 kids, great life - 28 years later we're still together.

    It's a wonderful adventure!:drinker:


    That sounds just like me, except, I divorced at 26 and remarried. Am happily married for the last 12 years.

    I also started young ...I was 12 when I got my first kiss..but it was more of a dare....I met and started dating my Husband at 13 ...Got an apartment with him at 16...married him at 24 ...I'll be 33 and we are still married ..with 2 daughters.

    With all that said.... I wish I had waited longer ..the years have been pretty crazy ...we were far too young to have a clue about love and relationships... I missed way too many moments that I can never get back with friends..and grew up wayyyy tooo fast..I'd fight my girls tooth and nail to wait longer to start dating...and when they do start...to date more ..and to experiment and experience more in life before worrying about settling down.
    Ouch!
    I have zero regrets. What I missed out on were relationship breakups, divorces, custody battles, money fights, heart aches, loneliness, professional set backs, being broke and depression. Sure, we had challenges, but the struggles build character.

    Right now we're both pushing 50, and I am semi-retired, and she's at the top of her game.
    Life is to be lived!
    And we have - and the adventure continues...:drinker:
    You those of you just beginning your journey?

    SHOOT FOR THE STARS!

    Sometimes you need to change horses - even in mid-stream. Both the mare and the stallion must pull together or not at all. Glad to hear things worked out.

    The only date I ever got asked out on was when I was 16, and he never showed up to get me. I had boyfriends, but we never went out on dates. So technically, I went on my first date when I was 17 with who is now my fiance! Haha.

    I have actually had a lot of trouble dating. I had a bad childhood and turned to sex as soon as I realized that some men were interested in me (usually older men, driving by as I walked to/from school). I started having sex at 14 and was very promiscuous for years....it was all that I knew. The first real DATE that I had ever had, when sex wasn't pre-arranged to be at the end of the dinner/movie/etc, I was 22 years old. So make your future dating life worthwhile....don't ruin it with expectations of sex! <3

    I never HAD to date till I was 30! I met my husband as I was turning 16, we married at 21, kids at 22 and it was over by the time I was 30. I wasn't allowed to date until 16, though I had "boyfriends" before that that really don't count. I'm 35 now, and hate dating!!!! Some days I wish it was as simple as it was in high school.
    Have fun with life, explore..do what you want to do...LIVE!!! The right person will come at the right time!

    I was 16 and he was 18, but the date SUCKED. We went to see Waterworld with Kevin Costner :ohwell: The boy was so nervous I had to make ALL the conversation. It was so quiet and uncomfortable the whole time, even while waiting for the movie to start... I couldn't wait for the damn thing to be over. And that movie is well over 2 hours long. He had a hot little car though.

    i never went on a "real date" .. i went to dinner with friends, hanging out in groups. but when i met my husband, we just kind of hung out as well.. we'd go to dinner and movies, but i never thought of it as a date *shrug*

    but he was my first boyfriend, we met when i was 20!

    I always liked people, but never felt a strong enough connection to want to date someone until I was 19. We've been dating 2 years now and I love him so much :)

    19. And 23 years later, we're still something. However, my parents set 40 as a "start" age.

    I was 17 ish on my first date. Haven't really regularly dated though. Embarrassingly that has been the last date I had.

    I was 16 when I had my first boyfriend/first kiss.

    My husband's parents are very cute. His dad's first kiss was with my husband's mom and they've been together for 30 something years. :smile:
