Another “Dear Young Lady” post
I was a late bloomer slash my parents were very strict.
My very first date with a guy, I was seventeen and unbelievable excited. I bought this new outfit and convinced him to bring his best friend along so I could bring my bestie too. Want to know how it went?
a.) The movie was awful I can’t even remember what it is (that or I am
having one of my not-so-senior moments)

b.)We got lost on our way to a party.
c.)There was a storm and my new outfit was wet (plus one of my shoe’s
sole literally fell off)
sole literally fell off)
d.)The party was over by the time we got there.
e.)All of the above.
Yeah, E-all of the above. I kid you not. But the weirdest thing was, I had the most amazing time, and you could say the Seventeen-Year-Old Me was totally thrilled and a little bit in love. I loved how he was a total gentleman. I loved how we were both laughing over how bad the movie was. I loved how he and his friend cracked jokes during the long car ride. I loved how he joked about us needing a smoke with his dad’s best maduro cigars (because of the really bad storm and the really muddy clothes). And I loved how he kept his cool when we got lost, shivering and stuck in traffic.
I’ve learned that falling in love isn’t really about having the perfect date or finding the perfect boy. It is actually about connecting with a guy who’s perfect for you. Finding your guy type and building your crush profile should be fun, and like most meaningful things, it can’t-and shouldn’t-be done all in one day. Get to know yourself and get to know guys as friends, classmates, neighbors-and you’ll have a clearer picture of what works for you. Don’t be too quick to finalize. You can change your mind anytime and start over. 
How did your first date turn out?
Kung late bloomer ka, anong tawag sa kin? Hahahah I was already in my 20's when I dated.
Haha A lot of kids date na at thirteen, although I would like my daughters to date when they are 30 na hehe
Sis, di ba masyadong bata ang 30's? Mga late 40's yan pwede na lol!
You gave me an idea,A!
I guess my first date was the prom. I think I was 14 but having a daughter now, I think that too soon. Maybe after college for her hahaha
Yup, when I was a teenager, I thought you should have a manliligaw na by 14, pero that's too early pala haha
Oh yeah, I agree with Jellybelly…why for Moms like us, it's okay to go out on a date early but we normally would not allow the same for our own kids. Hahaha.
I know haha. Maybe I will become one of those monster-in-law haha
my first date with my (ex) boyfriend was after my 20th birthday(late bloomer). we just ate in one of the local fast food in our city. my children are boys, so expect them to earn their own money before they would ask a girl out. lol
Uyy, so you won't give them money for dating? Girls have it easier nga ano kasi the guy is expected to pay
i was about to turn 18 when I go with someone, I really cant call it a date as we only visited a friend of mine and stayed their for few hours.. funny as we didn't end up bf and gf then, but to make the story short, he is the father of my 8 years old son.. he was my first date/kiss and he father the apple of my life..:-)

Sweet 🙂 Some couples start off as friends and end up being together
1st date is the kilig-est. I was already 23 when I had my 1st date, who turned out to be my 1st bf and now my (only) husband. True love can wait.hehe
True love can wait truly haha
I can't remember when I had my first date. Parang simple lang yata kasi yun. hehehe
Also a late bloomer here haha but I dont think my first ever date that wonderful, I think it's soo much kilig talaga as I was treated like a princess 🙂
Hmmm… I think my first date was when I'm 15. We watched an animated movie. the title hmmm…. secret…. hahaha.
Wow, this is good exercise! My first date was emotion-filled: the parents didn't approve of the guy, yet we went ahead. So, it was memorable in a way because it has the illicit effect. Ha ha!
I think I started dating out during my college days na haha. A late bloomer guy indeed 🙂
I started dating after college. haha.. NBSB me and my first boyfriend was right after graduating.. 🙂
