Did you ever wear an ID bracelet to "go steady"?

[undeterred]

Or have someone pass you their ID bracelet to ask you to go steady?

1. No. I never knew anyone who had one.

My daughter, however, wore her boyfriend's ID bracelet when she was a senior in high school last year.

2. You must be as old as I am. Back in the early 60s I purchased..

quite a few of those.
Had some of them returned in some interesting ways.

3. nope

but in college I was "pinned" (received the fraternity pin - was perceived to be a preengagement sorta thing... which in our case didn't end up being the case.)

5. No, but I did wear my boyfriend's class ring with about a skein

of angora yarn wrapped around it!

Boy, I'm old.

11. Good Lord, I remember my oldest brother's girlfriend

doing that. It was probably about 1962-1963.

By the time I got old enough, angora yarn was definitely out. Everyone stuffed a cotton ball in them to make them fit, circa 1968-1970.

13. We were still doing the angora stuff in junior high.

That would have been about 1967. We actually fluffed it with a brush to make it stick out more. You'd wrap the ring in different colors to match your outfit. :)

6. That happened in high school

where they had bracelets or promise rings. But no, I didn't wear one nor did I have a girlfriend, steady or no.

7. Not quite.....

Back in the day you could get a bracelet with the name of a soldier in VietNam on it. I wore it for years. I never knew the man. Later I found out he had died. And I thought "someone knew his name, someone cared". I was grateful to be that someone.

I don't know if that counts as going steady though, I'm pretty sure I wasn't his type.

Khash.
(Yes I still have it. And sometimes I look at it, although I no longer wear it. I just look and think.)

8. When I was in junior high . . .

. . . we used a "Drop." It was the guy's initials hanging from a necklace chain.

9. Yes!

When I was in the 5th grade a boy gave me his but dad didn't think it was right so I had to return it. :( And yes I am that old.
