How old were you when you had your first date?

Wow, you seem really outgoing! I’m shy, shy, shy... yeah I guess that pretty much explains it. But it’s not like I’m a social hermit or something... I go to parties, I go out with my friends and have fun, all the time. I’m just not very good at initiating conversations with people. Also the only times I ever talk to guys is online.

If it counts... I had a boyfriend when I was 4. We made out in church.
I kissed one guy in the 7th grade playing spin the bottle – that was my first, and last, kiss.
Wowwwwwwww..... :werd:

Hi, Kim: I don't think you are weird. :)

The one question I always ask myself is "What is the worst that can happen?". When I really think about it the worst that could happen usually isn't that bad....or at least not fatal. :) Usually the worst is that no one will understand me and I won't understand them. Not a huge problem. If I use paper and pen it's ok. If the conversation isn't crucial (like the cashier at the grocery store after I buy my groceries), I can say "sorry, I don't understand, but thanks", smile, and leave. Not a big deal. If it is a big deal, they will stop me and say that. When I am at a party and meet someone, the worst that could happen is that they don't like me. Again, not a big problem. I didn't know them before the party and my life was fine, so not getting to know them won't make a big difference. If they don't like me it doesn't mean anything because they don't know me. Rejection hurts but it doesn't kill! :laugh2:

I wasn't always so outgoing. I've always been very social but I wasn't always confident enough to show it. I went to a small, private hearing school when I was a kid, and I had a great interpreter who was a teacher's aid and had a deaf dad. I used her too much because I was afraid to be myself with all the hearing kids. She finally met with me and my parents and said it had to stop. She encouraged me all the time to interact with my classmates. She asked me all the time, "What are you afraid of? You have to try because your happiness is your responsibility". It made a big impact. It is my responsibility.

So I changed. I sometimes feel like a fool, and I have had some conversations go very very wrong. :ugh3: But usually the worst doesn't happen and I'm glad I took the chance. I have to say that I am not always outgoing in all situations. I don't like loud, crowded places. I like to go to the same places so I know the people and what is expected (I go to college in the town I grew up in). And sometimes I just avoid eye contact so no one talks to me. :Oops: But usually I try.

You can do it, Kim! :applause::applause::applause::h5:

Well, my first kiss, not sure. My first girlfriend was when I was in 7th grade(was about 13), and it lasted 2 weeks. 1st date was a year later to a dance and that one lasted 2 weeks. 1st freach kiss was with a gal in summer before 9th grade(15). We also went to far with foreplay and making out. But we broke up after like 6-9 months.

After that, I had couple relationship that my friend's sister set me up with. 1 lasted a night, but we didn't break up till a week later. Then the other lasted maybe 5 min.

My longest relationship is my wife. We been together for 6½ years(been married almost 6 years now).

I left the same, even though I am a guy. I chased 1 gal for like 18 months before I gave up on her. Her family and her knew I liked her and she liked me, but she was scared. I wrote poems and did everything I could for her. I also held her and cuddled, but she still won't go out with me. It was right before I met my wife.
 
butterfly in stomach...

I realized that I forget to add "in stomach"... :giggle:

:Oops: I thought "butterfly" was some sex thing! :ty:

I am still :dunno: at some of the "adult smiles". Please, don't explain! I will understand on my own! :D
 
I was dating when I was 12 with my first boyfriend when he was 10 in deaf school. We were been together for 8 yrs. 4 years serious relationship, 4 years open relationship since we were in different school. My first kiss (not french kiss) when I was 12. My first french kiss when I was 15.
 
Kimpossible...u are a very attracive and intelligent woman so I was surprised to read your first post. Howver, I can understand the shyness and I am sure there were plenty of guys that wanted to ask u out but felt too shy themselves too! :giigle:

First french kiss was in 8th grade..I was either 13 or 14 years old.

Got my first boyfriend in sophmore year of high schol but never went on a date. We just held hands, kissed, and wrote rach other at school but never saw each other at other places. Lasted for a month, I think.

got asked out on a date with a 19 year old while I was a 17 year old junior. My mom didn't like it cuz he had his own apt and she felt it wasn't appropriate. He dumped me and started dating my good friend. They r married now and have been together for almost 20 years! Iam happy for them. Yes, I was jealous of her cuz he was so hot and sexy but I fell in love with my high school sweetheart during my senior year.

We were together for 10 years..divorced in 2000. We have a daughter together.

Became single for the first time since high school for 4 years..had a blast dating different men.

2004, fell in love with my good friend of and we married a year later. Now, we have been married for 2 years and have an adorable 2 year old son.

I wonder what the first kiss is like?

Did any of you liked your first kiss?

Was it romantic or just "no big deal" thing for you?

How do you overcome your shyness if it is part of who you are? How do you get male to stop being afraid of your deafness and become willing to learn sign language? (I guess it's because where I am right now, I am not in deaf community so...)

I think generally sign language is not a popular language for hearing male to learn.
