KnockBack, Episode 57: First Dates and "Girlfriends"
Added 2019-03-14 16:00:03 +0000 UTCDo you remember your first "girlfriend" or "boyfriend?" Your first date? Your first kiss? Today's episode of KnockBack -- as voted on by the show's Patreon supporters -- is dedicated to just such topics. As adults, matters of the heart are often incredibly complicated and high stakes. That's why it's so important to occasionally reminisce about our far more innocent, far more straight-forward days, when we were just figuring everything out. When we were discovering who we were, and who we are.

2019-03-26 14:38:26 +0000 UTCI had a very similar experience to you guys. It would be interesting to have a fireside chat with someone in their early 20's on this topic to compare to and see how things have changed.

2019-03-23 20:05:47 +0000 UTCSo many relatable tid bits in here. A nice blast from the past from more innocent times of our lives. A short story I had a girl friend in high school that gave a dude a hand job in the back of a broken down limo. We broke up. The end. True story. Thanks for sharing all your stories with us. A great listen. Also, I had to come back to edit my comment and include the last name of this guy was handy. I shit you not.

2019-03-22 09:57:40 +0000 UTCOne of my college roommates, who ended up becoming a good buddy of mine, has been with his now-wife since they were like 14. They've only been with each other, just 'cause that's how it is. I bet you it's more common than you might think!

2019-03-15 19:33:42 +0000 UTCI'm just first hour in but want to jump in and thank you lads for Knockback. Really took my mind off stuff going around and allowed me to enjoy my Friday evening. Thank you!

2019-03-15 18:14:55 +0000 UTCiGen will absolutely never understand calling the house phone. It was always embarrassing as hell when girls called my house. My dad would always answer and if you said “can I speak Owen” he would always say “I don’t know, can you?” Or if you said “is Owen there?” He would respond with a dead pan “Yes.” And you could feel the awkward silence in the air and he would eventually say “Would you like to speak with him?” Embarrassing as fuck dude. My face would always get red cus I’d be so pissed. I eventually started educating girls that if my dad picked up you say “May I speak to Owen” and nothing else.

2019-03-15 04:06:07 +0000 UTCMan, these stories hit home. I remember my first semester of college; this girl and I were both really into each other. I got her number but I never called her because I was like, what do I do now? Like you guys talked about, I really had only hung out in groups before. I ran into her at a New Years party a few weeks later, she called me out on it and asked me if I was staying over. I told her no, I was staying at my friend's house, because that's where my car was. She told me I should sleep over with her. I did not. I still think about how stupid I was, haha.

2019-03-14 22:41:58 +0000 UTCI was a complete dunce with girls before college (and during undergrad, let's be real), so this will be quite the ride!

2019-03-14 22:18:44 +0000 UTCLOL. I'm not so sure I was all that popular either (though Dagan seemed to be).
Colin Moriarty
2019-03-14 21:56:54 +0000 UTCDamn listening to this podcast made me realize that I wasn't as popular with girls compare to you guys 😅

2019-03-14 21:52:08 +0000 UTCIt's completely bizarre.

2019-03-14 20:47:29 +0000 UTCIt’s funny, I always thought that finding porn was like a rite of passage too. There were two parks near my house growing up and it was a sure bet that you’d find porn at them both. My friends and I found a ton of magazines and even a few VHS tapes that would just inexplicably appear LOL

2019-03-14 20:02:02 +0000 UTCThis stirred up memories of dating, of high school, of being stood up - oh.. that feeling of rejection! Ouch. Spin the bottle and 7minutes in heaven!!? I agree - ‘they’ were ‘somewhere spinning a story story’ to share, except for Karen. She was another story... 🤔🙄 Remind me to tell you about a call I received- recently- about my first kiss. I think it’s pretty hysterical. And, do you really think it’s possible to have ‘too much binacca’ In your mouth. 😉❤️❤️
