WHAT TO DO ON A DATE?

ENJOYING SPORTS

Whether you live in the country or in town, there are interesting sporting events somewhere nearby. Ball games of allsorts, skating, tennis, golf, bowling, and swimming all are date possibilities. Whether you’re interested in spectator sports, or the “do it yourself” variety, you’ll find sports increasingly rewarding. Maybe you’re fortunate enough to have a professional team nearby. Have you ever seen a big league hockey game? Have you attended a college football game recently? How about your high school basketball games? Such spectator sports are fun and usually not expensive.

Often it’s more fun for you to play than to watch a game. Tennis, swimming, and skating, as well as many other sports, are good dating activities. Perhaps your date would be willing to help you learn more about some sport in which he is particularly active. Stop and look around you. What sporting opportunities are available in your neighborhood?

SCHOOL AFFAIRS

School events can be especially rewarding date experiences. Many teen-agers have great fun at school dances, parties, and other functions. If your date goes to a different school, he will probably enjoy getting into a new campus atmosphere for a change. It might even mean a return invitation for you to his school and the possibility of new contacts. If your school seems lacking in social functions, then maybe it needs a little prodding from people just like you. Perhaps there is a social committee you could join.
