WHAT TO DO ON A DATE?

“What shall we do tonight?” is a frequent question asked by dating couples. Teen-agers are always looking for something to do that’s different, that’s fun, and that won’t cost too much money. Social opportunities for young people are limited in many communities, and those that are available are often not as wholesome or varied as they might be.

Even young people who live in large metropolitan areas are often concerned about what to do on a date. They may be surrounded by hundreds of possibilities and yet be unaware that they exist.

One of the responsibilities that goes with dating is knowing how to use available resources for wholesome dating. Until your interests develop and your horizons widen, you may not be fully aware of the possibilities open to you in your own neighborhood. As you become accustomed to thinking in terms of dating resources, you will become increasingly able to find ways to have a variety of satisfying dates. The next time you are faced with the question of what to do on a date, you might consider one or more of the following possibilities.

GOING TO THE MOVIES

Regardless of where you live, there probably is a movie somewhere in your vicinity. If you live in a small town or in a rural community, the selection of movies may be rather limited. If you have already seen the show, or if your partner has, or if it’s not particularly worth seeing, it would be better to look for some other activity.
