Like when I ate a bowl of prunes, stones & all cuz I thought it would be embarrassing to take the stones out of my mouth in front of my new boyfriend's mum. (In those days prunes did not come prepitted)

My husband and I had a fun first date....full of bloops. He was a big spender and took me to Denny's. We're standing in line, I'm nervously swinging my car keys. They fly out of my hand hit an old lady in the face and fall into her lap. She's in shock and so am I, my guy gently picks the keys from her lap and says, "I'll take these" and out of embarassment we left the restaurant laughing our heads off. So we go to another Denny's, actually order some appetizers. Potato skins and some sodas. My husband uses his manners cutting the potato skins with a knife and fork and I pick the potato up with my hand and start eatting it. We were both embarassed, but agreed it was finger food. As were laughing, my husband grabbed his soda not looking at it and went to take a drink......the straw went right up his nose. He turned bright red. Being the jokester he is ...he played it off so cool and we ended up laughing at it for years on.
We eventually relaxed and went to the Marina and hung out for hours talking and getting to know each other.

I loved that! It's almost like someone's watching and saving up all the embarrasments he can to throw at you on a first date. You can be the coolest, most in control person normally, but boy, roll on a first date!

It's not the butter thing so much as the silly things you do in the name of COOL! Like being too embarassed to ask for a loo, and ending up floating your eyeballs! And me, I'm lefthanded and was always too embarassed to change over cutlery in a restaurant and ended up making a fool of myself untill I taught myself to eat righthanded.

On my first date with my wife, we were in Watkins Glen state park and somehow got off the trails there and in a cemetery in the middle of town. We still don't know how we got that lost.

Hey, how'd you get in? I still see no 'Response Box'!
But WELCOME, WELCOME!
The Bear and I got horribly lost in the mountains once, when we first started to go out. I said: I hope you know where you're going, and he said: I know exactly where I'm going. Big show-off! We ended up having to spend the night in the car. To this day when we know something is a lost cause, we would have a laugh and he would say: I know exactly where I'm going!
