]The car song thread made me think about first dates.
My wife said once time if I didn't pick her up in a truck she wouldn't have gone out with me lol, took her to a total dive bar/pizza joint. She was happy with it so was I. Gimme a redneck girl then went and got stuck in a snow drift, I was testing her digging skills and ability to put up with my random situations, (was not going to get with a pretentious B%$#@ like my ex)
But brings me back to a totally messed up first date with a very nice girl.
I picked her up and we went had had a meal, after dinner she could tell i was tense as I took her home,
then dropped her off a block away from her house, some how I blew out a brake line on the truck and
relying only on downshifting to stop,didn't want to admit I was driving her around in a truck with no brakes.
I didn't get a second date.

We went on a taco run with a 12 pack of Miller ponies.
That was back in the late 70's.

It has been a long time, I'm not sure what would qualify as a first date? I'm more worried about the next date.

Took my ex on a first date to the Drive Inn Theater. I always park near the center, and I always get out with windex and paper towels and clean the windshield before the movie starts. Looked back a few rows, and there set her older brother, who was also a friend of mine. I walked back and did his windshield too!  7mm

Took a girl to the show, Gregory Peck movie McKenna’s Gold. Her dad was just starting a car dealership. He owns many in several states now. I should have stayed with her, but fouled that up.

I guess the first was one my cousin fixed me up with this girl last name Kroger. Her dad owned some grocery stores. Didn't go well.

Buddy's wife lined me up with a cute redhead that worked in the same office, we went on a blind date with the other couple. Dancing and partying at the Mather AFB NCO club until the wee hours. A few months later we got married in a nice ceremony at the McClellan AFB chapel. We have been togather now almost 48 years. I have sworn many times I will never go on another blind date.

First date with my favorite gal of all time was her doing - it was a Sadie Hawkins hayride deal held by her sorority and she invited me. Hardly knew her but she was exceedingly cute and very smart. Before the ride started I suggested we sit on the front of the wagon - wanted to see how the tractor operated - interesting for an urban fellow. In the forest we had a bonfire and ate usual stuff - but had my first S'mores that night - she kept making them for as long as I would eat another. I liked her. We sat on the back of the wagon on the way back to campus - very, very nice. Given that, I never went on a single date with anyone else. We became closer and closer, and were married within a year of that first date. It will be 60 years in 2020.

My wife and I went to a Baptist Student Union hayride that the college we were attending had. About a year later, we were married.

Wifey and I went to a movie, out to eat. I can’t remember if we went dancing after. I met her in a dance hall in 83.

My very first date was to see E.T. but it was sold out and we saw Poltergeist instead. Didn't go on another one but it seemed she dated a lot of my friends in the following years. Funny part was we knew the person in common through different places.
My first date with my wife was toToby Keith's "Boomtown" concert. The catch was we would miss the opening act as we had to work a booth for that period of time. Aswe were leaving, I noticed a gal from where we hung out crying on the stairs. We found out her boyfriend dumped her at the show and left her. I offered the girl a ride home fearing my date would be upset with me. My date was actually impressed and we eventually married.
My most memorable first date was a blind date set up by a friend's wife. For some reason my buddy's wife thought Eddie Murphy's "Raw" would be appropriate. It was as my blind date and I had gone out before. And it did not work out well. That time nor the earlier one.

Friend of mine took a girl on his first date with her. As he took her home, he leaned to kiss her lips.
"I never kiss on the first date," she said.
His answer: "Do you kiss on the last?"
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Stock car races.
She preferred my 17 year old pickup over my year old Camaro.
Knew she was a keeper then.

I once took a girl to a Chinese restaurant on a first date. The girl commented on my proficiency with chopsticks, so I said "that's nothing, when you're really good you can eat soup with 'em."
When she said "really, I'd like to see that" I knew there wasn't gonna be a second date.
A wise man is frequently humbled.
