8 hour first date?


Recommended Posts

About a month ago, I started talking to someone thru an online dating site.. we talked a bit thru out the month, and finally decided to make plans and met a couple of days ago..

 

We planned on going to a lounge to hang out for a bit.. since it was a weekday night, the place we decided on closed at midnight.. knowing that, I was figuring before I left I would have been home around 12:30 or so..

 

So we meet up around 9:30, and hit it off right off the bat.. I couldn't believe when it was already midnight and the bouncers were telling everyone it was time to leave.. It was just non stop talking and laughs for 2 and a half hours.

 

We decided to go for a walk after the lounge, then decided to get something to eat.. So we went for a late dinner at a 24 hour restaurant in the city. Again.. we were there for hours.. so many laughs and the conversation flowed so easily.

 

After dinner, it was close to 3 in the morning.. We decided to go for another walk before we headed back home because it was getting late.. on our walk, we found a park bench, and we sat down.. and what do you know.. we kept talking and talking and talking.. what we planned on being a quick walk, turned into another 2 hour conversation.. we *finally* called it a night at 5:30 in the morning.. 8 hours after our initial meeting.

 

Needless to say, I really really enjoyed my time with him, and we have talked since then everyday. Unfortunately because of a work trip on his part and a vacation on mine, we wont be able to see each other for about another week and a half because the dates overlap.. but we are already planning on doing future stuff and I am already counting the days to see him again.

 

Has any one else ever had a first date last this long?

Had a first date that was 11-hours! :)

 

Funny thing. I didn't think it was going to last 2, but she turned out to be a fabulous woman. She was just nervous at first. :)

Have had some last 48 hours and lots of 24 hours or more. I dunno at what point a ONS becomes a one weekend stand. All ended up being mistakes. These days, no more than three hours.

I think that's fine. If both people are enjoying themselves then why go home after one or two hours? I do think you should leave on a high note though. Not after you've spent so much time together you've run out of things to say and it's awkward. But if it's flowing smoothly then go for it.

My boyfriend and I's first date was probably 5 hours. It was supposed to be dinner. But after dinner we walked around downtown. After downtown we didn't want to leave sk we drove to the bookstore and hung out there awhile. Our second date was probably 7 ish hours....from then on out our dates were about 7 hours up until they started being an all day thing.

I agree with this if both of you are having fun with each other and enjoying each others company then time does not matter. This is also a positive sign of the first date that both of you have liked each other and can think about your further relationship. Our first date last for 5 hours but for second date we have spent the whole day together.

The first date with my current girlfriend was around 10 or 11 hours. Not a big deal. Drove to another city together, watched a show, ate dinner. We did know each other a bit already first, though.

First date with my fiancee lasted about 9 hours. In fact, every one of my relationships has started with a really long date. When you click, you click.

 

Just kinda want to keep getting to know one another and you wonder where all the time went.

Absolutely. I've been with this woman for 4.5 months now, and time STILL flies by every time we're together, be it for five hours or two or three days.

The first with my ex was about that long. We met up for an early dinner around 5 and finally split about 1-2 in the morning, even though we were just supposed to meet for dinner. Good times. :D

What would you call a first date? I met my bf at the gym at 10 at night and we ended up spending time talking on the front steps of my local library until almost 4 in the morning. After that, we ended up pretty much seeing each other every other night, always meeting up at the gym.

 

If there is enthusiasm on his part and you guy are making definite plans, then there's a chance that a relationship will develop.

I've had first dates last for days but that is after emailing and talking for weeks or months. Generally involved traveling long distance.

Not to be indelicate, but did any physical contact take place? It would seem odd to me if you hung out that long and didn't at least get to first base. :confused:

I had kind of a first date that lasted around 10 hours. It wasn't a pre-arranged date. I met this guy on my job. I worked for a survey company and I interviewed him for an answering machine company. He asked me when I got off work and we went to a Dennys. Coffee turned into dinner and we spent hours after we closed the place just talking.

 

He finally walked me to my car and kissed me goodnight. We celebrated our 27th anniversary last June.

Nothing as far as kissing goes.. (Besides the cheek).. But there was a lot of hand touches and he even gave me a little massage.. So physical contact on that sense.. But nothing overly sexual.. I wouldn't have been against a kiss at all after how well the meeting went..

 

It's rate to feel such an initial click with someone off the pat. :-)
