    lady_laughs_too_... 4d ago He kept talking about anything. He seemed so enthusiastic about learning and sharing what he learned. To me, it said that he's very smart but not arrogant about it. I don't consider myself a smart person, but he didn't seem to care. Actually, it was the

    GoramReaver • 4d ago On our first date, some of her ice cream dripped onto. her sleeve. Nonchalantly wiping it up, she told herself, "can't take me anywhere..." I smiled. She's been my wife for 7 years now.

    i. OP 4d ago • Edited 4d ago I'll start. My gf and I showed up to our first date wearing the same colored outfit. From shirt, jeans, and shoes, it looked like we were intentionally trying to match each other. It made for an easy ice breaker

    Bulldogs R_Aweso... 4d ago My boyfriend told me about his world record in a very very niche and random video game. He doesn't brag and he'll tell you how it's since been broken but to me it was just the cutest most impressive thing I've ever seen.

    HatefulTwon ⚫ 4d ago This girl I was dating a few years ago did an impression of a T Rex on our third date, and she went ALL OUT. Little arms at her chest, big dino steps, full effort roar. I knew I'd marry her from that moment.

    We got married last summer. We have a little dinosaur on the way this October.

    Zeebothius • 4d ago We talked for two hours straight without interruption and then she grabbed me and shoved her tongue down my throat right before climbing in an uber.
  • 17
    We talked about it later and she was wondering, "is he really not going to kiss me?" I was focused on not being overly aggressive because I really liked her, didn't want to up, and can't read hints to save my life. So, good move on her part.

    Brooklyn NotNY • 4d ago I had my arm in a sling from breaking my clavicle back when I met my man in August. On our first date he asks me to hand him my plate so that he could cut my food for me. I already thought that he was a great guy so that just made me think even higher of him.
