"Lately, I&amp;#x27;ve been addicted to asking friends I know (and sometimes, awkwardly, people I don&amp;#x27;t know) about their most recent first dates. Maybe it&amp;#x27;s because I&amp;#x27;m in that lovey-dovey stage myself, or maybe it&amp;#x27;s because I&amp;#x27;m a nosy person... but either way, it inspired me to ask YOU dear readers about your own tales.So, here&amp;#x27;s how it&amp;#x27;s going to work. Submit a photo--it can be just of you or one with the fellow--with answers to the questions below to smittenbloggers@gmail.com. Try not to gush too much&amp;amp;mdash;we have limited space here! As an example, and to kick this series off, here&amp;#x27;s the story of my first date with my boyfriend. Can&amp;#x27;t wait to hear yours! Your first names and ages: Anna (23) and Bill (26) Date of the date: 4/24/2012 How do you two know each other? We used to work together at my previous job--though, to be clear, we didn&amp;#x27;t go on a date until after I left. Who asked whom out (and how)? He asked me, but I don&amp;#x27;t remember how exactly. I think he asked something along the lines of, &amp;quot;When can I take you out?&amp;quot; Where did you go? It was during the work week, so we went to a Thai restaurant near our offices (we work a block from each other). After, we had ice cream sodas and sundaes at a chocolate dessert cafe because he knew I have a major sweet tooth. What did you wear (and why)? I wore a black top and short print skirt. I wanted to feel comfortable (because I was way nervous), so I picked something I&amp;#x27;d worn around him several times before. So&amp;amp;#133; how did it go? I was surprised by how easily our conversation went from jokes and laugher to a serious heart-to-heart and back without any awkward transitions. There was definitely more of a connection than I realized going into the date. Best and worst part of the night? Worst part: I was so nervous, I was convinced that I was acting strange&amp;amp;mdash;so, I told him so. Best part: After my confession, he took my hand and said he hadn&amp;#x27;t noticed at all and couldn&amp;#x27;t wait to go on more dates with me. (It didn&amp;#x27;t sound that cheesy at the time, I swear.) Kiss and tell? My mom reads my blog posts, so no, no kiss and tell. :) Did/will you go out again? Yes! We&amp;#x27;re still going on fun dates all the time, woo! Seriously, enough about me. Send me your first date stories, please, please, please! Can&amp;#x27;t wait to read &amp;#x27;em. Also, do you think there&amp;#x27;s other questions I should ask? Tell me in the comments, and I&amp;#x27;ll add to the list!
