I've told this story before, but I asked my wife to the prom even though I had never asked her out before. She accepted and we began a lifelong journey that continues to this day. Since the prom was over a month away, we did have a date before it.....a movie.
Dinner at Faccia Luna and then back to my place to watch the Penn State play in the Blockbuster Bowl. At that point, I knew she was the one.
January 1974, off night in the frat house so went to a bar with some brothers I didn't usually head out with. Saw this good looking girl as she entered, we made good eye contact, and this year we celebrate our 45th anniversary.
DC’s National Zoo. She had a basement apartment behind the Uptown Theater on Connecticut Avenue.
This is a tough one. We started hanging out a lot before dating. On March 7th, 1998 (exactly two weeks after my father died) we went to dinner and a Lexington Thoroughblades hockey game. On the way to the game I asked her if we were dating. She didn’t answer me until after dinner and the game. Her answer was no. So, I continued hanging out with her but also brought a couple of other girls around. On May 5th she came with me to my softball game. After the game we hung out and she decided we were dating. 3 days later we drive to Chicago to see her sister in a choir competition. So I’m not sure which of those would count as the first date but it would be one of those.
Halloween party in Cedarbrook. October 30, 1987. I didn’t even know what she really looked like.
Rodney had a blind date. He was supposed to meet her in front of a restaurant. He saw a woman standing alone so he asked "Are you Louise?" She responded "Are you Rodney?" He said "yes". She said "I'm not Louise".
Orioles game. I had season tickets in front row down the LF line. Caught a foul ball in 6th inning
I avoid dates with my wife and girlfriend.
met jr. year of hs at a local friday night dance. first date was a movie. 54 yrs 2 kids, 2 grand kids and a lot for travelling & ps sports.
Lunch at the Corner Room. I was hungover like nobody's business so barely ate my food. Walked her back to her apartment in Hetzel Plaza. Conversation was running dry and things were getting a little silent type awkward. There was a Victoria Secret's catalog on the counter and I mentioned something about it out of half desperation and it sparked the conversation and now 25+ years later.
Unintentional first date with my wife....
My old PSU roommate called me up asking me to head out with him. There was a girl in his office he was trying to hookup with and he found out she was going to Brownies in Conshohoken. He asked me to go and I told him I was beat from work and didn’t wanna go. He begged me and I said “sure I’ll be your designated driver then”. We showed up and I made my way to the bar and ordered a soda. This very attractive girl next to me did the same. I told her “I’ll buy the next round”. As we talked I told her I didn’t want to be there...my buddy dragged me here and I decided to be his designated driver. She said “that’s crazy...me too. I didn’t want to come either but my girlfriend was dying to get out so I told her I’d be her DD. She’s an accountant and was telling everyone in her office she was heading out tonight since it was the end of tax season”. I said...”funny you say that. My friend is an accountant”. Next thing we knew my friend walked up to me and her friend walked up to her and it turns out her friend was the girl my old roommate was looking for.
We talked for the rest of the night and 24 years later....both my wife and I are still married. So are my old roommate and my wife’s friend he was gently “stalking”. We vacation together at times and our kids love hanging out together.
If I had stuck with my NO to my old roommate or my wife had stuck with her NO to her friend, none of this would have happened. Crazy how life works.

I asked a cheerleader, who I never said a word to, to prom and she said yes. Fun, but not a love connection. First date with my wife was to "beautiful" Shea Stadium for a Mets game in 1990. Will be married 29 years in January.I've told this story before, but I asked my wife to the prom even though I had never asked her out before. She accepted and we began a lifelong journey that continues to this day. Since the prom was over a month away, we did have a date before it.....a movie.
Blind date at Penn State in 1966. My roommate in the fraternity was dating a girl who said her roommate was perfect for me. A blind date was arranged and we attended a Saturday night party at the fraternity house. She had me at "hello" and we've been married 52 years.
She asked me to go to a Penn State women's gymnastic meet at Rec Hall. Then we went to the Diner for grilled stickey's then talked til 0400. Married 31 years, 3 kids, 2 grandkids.
My employer was her employer’s biggest customer
Her employer celebrated their 90th year in business as part of a large local convention (American Iron & Steel Engineers)
I won the raffle for 4 Steelers’ tickets
She handed them to me and looked and smelt wonderful
I invited her to the Steelers’ game and she accepted
We met in town and drove to the game together to meet my best friend and wife who had a tailgate spot
I introduced her to my best friend and his wife (also a lifelong friend) as Donna
Donna is not my wife’s name
This was 1989
We dated until 1997
Then got married (in a helicopter overlooking the Vegas strip)
I overcame adversity!
Still going strong!

Come on yunz guys!
Some of you are married to Rose & Louis Palm!
They've traveled, by your side, everywhere you've gone since puberty!
Met my wife thru Match.com. We set a date but at the last minute the sitter bailed on watching her 5 year old son. I told her bring him along. How bad could it be, right? Well, she slipped off to the bathroom leaving her son behind with me. The boy got off the chair grabbed my forearm with both hands and proceed to bit me.
Nice!
But, as you would expect kind sir, somebody is going to ask you about going 5-hole on her!
I take it you DID score!
That little motherfuc#er would have had a huge lump on his head when mom returned!
Scary movies where they have to grab on and hug you.Good idea taking her to a "chick flick".
You are much smarter than I. That thought never crossed my mind.Scary movies where they have to grab on and hug you.
First met as I was working the cash register at Sweetbriar GC in Avon Lake, OH. Bought her and friends beer as they waited to golf.
She called me the next night and asked me to Cleveland Indians tailgating and game. I was working.
Met up for some golf at the course and wings at Around the Corner in Lakewood.
@Obliviax - right there in your stomping grounds.

I asked if I could give her a ride to a high school event where we both had to do some background work. A good friend egged me on to do it and I showed up at her door unexpectedly. She raced to get ready and her mother pushed her out the door, nearly. After the event I took her home and we paused outside in an uncomfortable moment when she leaned forward and kissed me, then spun around and sped into her home. I was a bit stupefied and had that look when I got back in the car. My friend saw it and asked "did she kiss you?", I affirmed and he had the largest smile on his face as if he were responsible for the whole event, which he actually was. Next week will be our 44th anniversary with my friend being the best man at our wedding. It was the best thing I ever did and has paid dividends compiled over all those years. There is nothing like the love of a good woman.
We met online.
1st date was at a bar and we talked all night until last call. By the end of the date I felt like I knew her my whole life, just not a few hours. Later she told me that she told her friends the next day that she met the man she would marry.
Married 12 years now with two kids, 9 and 7.

Met her in Poetry class, asked her if she wanted to come back to my dorm room to see my Longfellow.
Rodney told Carson that it was lonely on the top....
....especially when there's no one on the bottom
Met at a party at my fraternity. Gave her a ride home and asked her out on the drive to her apartment. That was 38 years ago. We will be married 36 years next month.
Funny story. She was two years behind me at PSU. After I graduated we were watching, we were watching the 82 PSU - Notre Dame game at my parents house in a State College. PSU hit a big play to seal the game. My now wife jumps out of her chair throwing her arms in the air and punches out a fluorescent light fixture in our basement rec room. My dad came running downstairs after hearing the crash and we are standing there laughing. I knew that day that any girl that could get that excited about Penn State football was the girl for me.
