This survey about first dates, some disasters and some something to look back on fondly - and sometimes first date can end up being both.

I was late leaving work, no way to reach her to tell her, she waited until I arrived 20 minutes late.

Even though I worked in a bank, I forgot to take some money out for our date so the first thing we needed to do was find a cash machine (an early ATM). We found one, it didn't work. So we had to find another one. We discovered we enjoyed walking together.

We had decided to go to a folk club and went by bus to get there. On the way there, to "break the ice," I tried to tell her some jokes. She didn't "get" or laugh at any of them. 55 years later she still doesn't get most of my jokes, but finds my trying to explain the punch lines to be hilarious.

At the folk club there were various acts with one "star attraction." An earlier act used an electric guitar. The "star" got up and marched out saying "I'm a musician not an electrician (the same happened a month before at a Bob Dylan gig). The star was never heard from again. We were most amused by it all.
