After being in the same social group and being friends for about 7 years, my husband traveled from Southern Maryland to East Tennessee (roughly 500 miles) to take me out to dinner for our first date. We had agreed to be an exclusive relationship about 2 months prior to our date. We saw each other about one weekend a month for 4 months when I moved here.
We sorta had extenuating circumstances. I was working 3 jobs to support my mother while she was undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
We'd been friends for a while but then one day I received flowers from him after mentioning that times were tough. In response, I sent him a small order of Omaha steaks. And we've been a couple ever since. Every Valentine's day I get him a specialty cut of meat, like a wagyu rib eye or something and he gets me a neat flower.

Wayyyyyyy back when Yahoo Personals started, I was traveling to Seattle and wanted to see the city through a locals eyes. I talked to a bunch of guys, found one that I clicked with and we set up a date for when I got out there.
We had a blast, walked the college district and sampled beers in the micros, took a boat tour and went into the lower levels of Pike's then had dinner.

I ended up replacing the wall receptical - fixing the problem and stayed for breakfast .....

First Date
Back Many, Many, Many moons ago when I was a youngster and had no choice but to travel with my parents, I met a lovely brown eyed girl in Detroit, Michigan. We were visiting an aunt and uncle who lived there and she lived across the street. We exchanged addresses (way before internet time) and wrote back and forth a few times. She said her school dance was coming up and if I lived closer she would ask me to be her date. I got permission to call her (No anywhere/unlimited calling back then either) and asked if she was serious about the date. She said yes. I had worked some that summer before and had saved my money, so a long story short my parents said ok and took me to BWI airport (Friendship International back then) and I flew to Detroit where my uncle picked me up. The next night we went to the dance and had a very good time. We continued to correspond but but unfortunately over the years we lost touch with each other. I remember she had huge brown eyes and to this day every time I hear the song "Brown Eyed Girl" I smile and wonder how her life turned out and would she remember our first and only date.

My friend in Blacksburg VA had a girl drive from Dayton Ohio to his place, when she got there he said "You are not average build (she was large)" He said she layed on the couch all night crying. Not sure that counts as a first date or not.
We met at the first Friday night Meet & Greet in Dec. 2011, and saw each other pretty much weekly with the group. (which changed from week to week, except for a few of us)
Too many texts & FB chats to recall, but our first date was on April 1 when he drove up with me to Washington Hospital Center and waited in the waiting room while I spent about 3 hours with my mom. (Who had terminal cancer and was being treated there) Then we drove into DC and walked around the Washington Mall and several museums for about 6 hours until he drove me home.

Wow Bob, that's such a nice way of looking at it. Like my story. Over 50 years of life, countless miles and countries, only to find love right here in MD where my life started. And in a round about way through the forums. Life is funny.
