We went and had a Pizza then went to the Disco 
So long ago, I almost said I couldn’t recall. But…I do remember going on a double date the summer between sixth and seventh grade. We went to the movies; it was for the other couple really, as she couldn’t go alone. She was smitten, me, nope, just friends.
Gosh, I’ve been hundreds of dates for 6 decades!

Went to see A Hard Day’s Night.
To be honest if it wasn’t for the Beatles I don’t think she would have gone.

That movie was rather tame I hear.
Back in the sixties/early seventies there wasn’t that dating culture as we have it nowadays. Young people would have had difficulty describing what a date was and what was not. Was going for a walk with a girl a date or would you have had to dress up and go to a restaurant for the meeting to qualify as a date? Would you have had to meet alone or would it also have been a date when meeting a girl as part of the clique as was mostly the case? I simply can’t remember what may have been my first date in the sense it is understood today and whether the girl would’ve classified it as such or not.

Not sure, having a bit of trouble with the timeline, things were a bit frantic back then, if you can remember a specific one, one probably didn’t have enough

Fumblings in the hay barn, nothing prearranged, no date set, all very spontaneous.

I broke the law by taking a female as a pillion rider. She was well built up top so I kept applying the anchors to ensure she held on even tighter into me. In my experience, lumpy jumpers were always good in clinches😉

I was on a blind date, and so we went with the couple who introduced us , which was his cousin .
It was decided by the two men that we should go to Malory Park to watch the racing , me and the other female went along with this .
Having not been before we got lost , and when a sign for Twycross zoo came up thats where we ended up .

A trip to Baskin Robbins for a scoop of ice cream, a short drive down the canyons and then a walk on Zuma Beach.
I still remember everything - what he wore, the scent of his neck ( he hugged me at the end of the date), the way the sky looked, the way he searched for the money in his wallet, how nervous I felt when he picked me up, the sense of freedom and delight of it just being the two of us, the cold feel of the sand that squeaked under my feet…
Some things just stay with you - and ultimately define you. He was a really nice boy.

Bet you dropped him for a bad boy, strange thing ego, but probably necessary 
Boys like you
Are bad through and through
Still, girls like me
Always seem to be with you
Ha, not me! I was always attracted to the nerdy, straight-arrow types. 
I had a famous friend though, who always, always chased trouble, She ended up marrying and predictably divorcing a well-known rock star. Life is troublesome enough without inviting that kind of chaos into one’s orbit
