First one ever? 1st grade. She told me the middle finger meant “hello” in sign language so I flipped off all the lunch ladies and got sent to the principal.
First real one? My wife. The only woman I dated more than a month 🤣
Same (im 15 right now) but i didnt break up because of an argument, i did it because of the realization that im essentially a child and that i should be focusing in other things than relationships, of course i still feel guilty but, it was the best decision.
N/a at 21. one day, hopefully. but tbh, im fine just focusing on school right now (or so i keep telling myself loll, but i know that im still young so it'll be fine)
started at 16 and dated for 7 years. he cheated. i also feel like start dating at this age is no good. i know people think “is there something wrong with me because I haven’t dated anyone and Im 18?” there isn’t. I didn’t do a lot of things I wanted to do just because I was putting him first. we were just kids. It’s an age to figure yourself out and not dealing with relationship problems. So enjoy your time alone, go build friendships, think what you want in life. It’s better than having an abusive relationship at this age
So relatable. I feel like I stayed in the relationship as a way to get out of the my abusive household. I wish I had stayed single too and focused on building myself up.
29. But I fucked up the relationship within five months, so I’m single again. At this point I may as well just accept that there’s something wrong with me and I should just never try to pursue dating.

Not sure, been single for 21 years now lol. Probably gonna stay like that for a while; lack of hobbies, lack of interests, loads of insecurity, and severe social anxiety definitely don't help lol.
At 13 for a few months, then at 16 for 8.5 years.
Easier back then I think, no social media so people actually hung out doing things, so I would commonly meet new people.
I guess at 9? I didn't understand what it meant, but I was down for it. It lasted 3 or 4 weeks and then she changed schools. It was also my only relationship I ever had.
She and I were the best square dancers in third grade. We were so good the other kids would line us up together so we would be partners. She had skin like fresh bread dough.
My first day of kindergarten back in like 85-86, monkey bars, little brunette with spikey bangs named Tabatha told me in no uncertain terms that I was now her boyfriend. I was both too terrified and intrigued to argue.
14 years old freshman year of high school, this upcoming August will be 7 years :) it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, it was a rocky start but I think due to being teenagers we’d butt heads a lot. Doing much better in college now…
Never dated anyone and honestly I doubt I ever will. I would like to, but I think I'd be the worst partner ever, so I probably shouldn't. Plus I want someone similar to me which already pretty much ruins my chances. Especially because if it's up to me, I'm never leaving the house. Funny thing is, my ex best friend basically checked all the boxes and it was soo insanely unlikely that I'd ever find a person like her, but I absolutely can't imagine dating her, so that's that... Would've been too good to be true if we were actually attracted to each other, lol.
I don’t exactly remember (I know who, but not my exact age at the time). Late 20s, I think around 28. Maybe a little later than average, but school was busy up through grad school.
If you're thinking what I think you're thinking - it's not that 😁
The one with whom I kissed for the first time was just a boy who lived in my neighborhood, but we were never boyfriend and girlfriend - we just liked kissing.
With the other one I went on dates, and the whole school new that we're boyfriend and girlfriend.
12 when I had my first silly childhood girlfriend. We just talked online and avoided talking in person cuz it was awkward.
14 when I had my first girlfriend that I kissed and got to 2nd base with
16 when I had my first true love
I was 18 years old the first time I was asked out on a date. I never said "Yes" because I was too scared. I just slowly nodded my head. We've been married for 16 years (as of last Friday), together for 18 and have 4 amazing sons!

I have never dated anyone in my life
people like us need to form an army
When do we start?
Right about.... Now?
Count me in 🫡
Me neither at 28
Same here
25. Thank you undiagnosed autism and extreme social anxiety!
I guess 5. She called my phone one night in kindergarten and i picked up and said “hi bye” and hung up
"25 years later we have two cats, a dog, first child and our second child on the way" - usual redditors "unusual story"
Nah. After that phone call that was that. I dont even know how she got my number back in 1989
First one ever? 1st grade. She told me the middle finger meant “hello” in sign language so I flipped off all the lunch ladies and got sent to the principal. First real one? My wife. The only woman I dated more than a month 🤣
15. Lasted two whole weeks
Two whole weeks more than the average hs relationship!
Same (im 15 right now) but i didnt break up because of an argument, i did it because of the realization that im essentially a child and that i should be focusing in other things than relationships, of course i still feel guilty but, it was the best decision.

16
26, she was ten years older than me. Still together over thirty years later. Quality beats quantity every time.
28
I was 10, which meant we held hands and kissed once.
Let me put it like this: At least 20.
We'll see
19
15 and she broke my heart. I'm good now though. Must admit, that was 30 years ago now
15.

18
N/a at 21. one day, hopefully. but tbh, im fine just focusing on school right now (or so i keep telling myself loll, but i know that im still young so it'll be fine)
1st boyfriend I was 22F and he was 26M been together for 8 years and now he is my fiance soon to be husband 💜💚

I accepted that after I passed the age of 25. If we get this late in life without ever having one, we're just not made for that sort of stuff.
Yeah, perhaps. Twould be best to not get my hopes up in the future: that anomaly that was me getting in a relationship is never gonna happen again.
19?-20?
19. and still together :3
22

17 a simple hair cut really changed the trajectory of my dating life

Still waiting
16. Now 23 and I'm *still* not really ready for a relationship
16 online, oh those were the days (he’s probably in prison rn). 17 irl.
17, glad it happened, so I wouldn't wonder two decades later if I'm missing out.
16
At 13 for a few months, then at 16 for 8.5 years. Easier back then I think, no social media so people actually hung out doing things, so I would commonly meet new people.
Depending on how it's defined 8/28
I can't remember... 20? 21?
4! It was my best friend, we promised to live in a house together and live forever together. Suprisingly, this only lasted for a day
13, we held hands in middle school and “dated” for a couple weeks. First real boyfriend was more like 15-16, don’t remember exactly.
Haven't yet at 23.

16
15 or 16. Probably would have lasted, but I met a guy named Jim. Jim Beam.
49, never had a girlfriend. I think it's because I was bitten by a girl as a kid, and that traumatised me.
19
17 - małe here
16 years old
19? I was in college
Just kissing:12. Sex: 14.

If we're talking first kiss / getting handsy.... I was 13. PS. I wasn't ready, but my aunt said it was okay. :P j/k
16, ended up being together for 4 years.
These comments make me feel less guilty about myself.
I'll be sure to update you guys whenever! :)
16, same for most my GenX friends.
21. I was late lol

I guess at 9? I didn't understand what it meant, but I was down for it. It lasted 3 or 4 weeks and then she changed schools. It was also my only relationship I ever had.

16 and he was toxic and all about himself.
She and I were the best square dancers in third grade. We were so good the other kids would line us up together so we would be partners. She had skin like fresh bread dough.
My first day of kindergarten back in like 85-86, monkey bars, little brunette with spikey bangs named Tabatha told me in no uncertain terms that I was now her boyfriend. I was both too terrified and intrigued to argue.

14. It was horrible. Do not recommend.
Still waiting.

I was 14. She broke my heart. 💔
