Very First Date Contest

I had a couple of dates in grade school, 
but I don't count them, since they were pointless.
My real first date went something like this.
I was a 14 year old freshmen 
and she was a 17 year old junior.

I was a football player, 
she was a cheerleader. 
Together we went to the movies, 
but she made all the moves on me.
I was lost in world of disarray.

After the movies she asked what I wanted to do.
It didn't matter to me, I could have died happy there.
She drove to a spot over looking the city.
We talked and she asked if I liked baseball and I said sure.
Then she said, wanna try for second and maybe steal third?

As my heart was pounding, I looked at her and said, 
I would love to do that for you, but I can't, I play football.  
Looking back, I think I messed that up.
