Some things stick in your mind, moments where you realize that in the eyes of the world you're an adult, not a kid. For me, one of those moments was the first time a stranger asked if I was married. I was 20, and completely flabbergasted for about a full three seconds-- which is a long time in a conversation in small car. I was utterly unprepared for that question and my brain just about fried on the spot at the very idea.

The last one is tough. The first time I actually got asked out, or the first time I actually went out on a date? Way different numbers. *g*

Ah. Well, I guess I mean "asked", since the first time you go out with someone and it turns into a date... that's harder to define.

15, then. I think. Sophomore in high school? Yeah, 15. That poor guy. I still feel a little guilty about that one. *g*

I was fourteen or fifteen the first time I was asked if I was married. But, I don't think it really counts, because I was asked by eight and nine-year-olds who guessed my age at a million. (I was assistant teaching kids' summer theatre.)

That doesn't count. :)

That's what I thought. *g*

3 doesn't happen often when you live in an apartment with a locked door, so I'm not sure my "not happened yet" answer applies to what would happen if people could come to my door.

And I had a boyfriend for a year before I went out on a real date (with someone who was never my boyfriend.) "Dating" is such a funky little topic because dating doesn't really relate to who you "date," ya know?

By "asked out on a date" I meant someone you meet suggests you go out for dinner/coffee/movie/where-ever with them. Or if it was someone you already knew, then the first time they asked you to do something as a potential love interest and not as a friend.

I've never heard of people comming to your door to ask you out... I'd sign up for that. I assume people meet others at their jobs or at social scenes or something. The first time I got asked out, it was by someone I met at a party, and they asked me a few days later.

I've been asked if I was the "lady of the house" before. Usually I say yes just to save time.

I do sometimes, depending on who it is. If it's over the phone, almost always.

But when I was 17 I had a guy at the door ask me if "Mr.XXXXXX" was here, and I said no, and he said, "Are you his...wife?" That kinda stunned me.
