Past perfect is formed with - had + past participle.
In the sentence - I had some dates - had is the past form of have and had is also the past participle of have
So your sentence in past perfect would be - I had had some dates.
In present perfect - I have had some dates.
Using another verb (not have) - I had eatensome dates. I had been to London.
