Five Things - Thing 3 - Second Base
3. What does getting to second base mean in dating parlance?
People who are unfamiliar with baseball don’t quite understand what it means to “get to second base” when in a dating situation. Actually, it is quite simple.
Baseball has four bases: first base, second base, third base, and home plate (commonly referred to as home). To make it home means you “ went all the way.” The goal is to “go all the way” every time you have the chance.
When applying this to dating, when you get to first base, you are 25% or ¼ there. Depending on the date you have laid out, this might be the act of picking up your date, or being picked. When a person asks if you made it to first base, they are really just asking if you picked up your date, or were picked up. If so, then there you are.
Second base is halfway there. For a typical date, this might be dinner. If you made it to dinner, then you made it to second base.
Third base is ¾ or 75% through. For a typical date, this means a movie or a play.
Going all the way, means making it home. So, if you pick up your date (or get picked up), go to dinner, go to a movie, and go home – then you went all the way through the date.
We are still researching why, when high school kids talk about going all the way on a date, they either brag or blush. When we find out the reasoning behind this, we will let y’all know.
