As a teenager, what do you do on dates.

Asked by steelerspilot (180points) October 8th, 2009 from iPhone

What do you do on dates? Where do you go? What do you do? Do you ever do a lot of bad things? Are you responsible?

Bad things were done when out with the guys. When dating, I behaved myself.
Believe me, the girls would rather not get in trouble by my doing stupid shit.
Yes, I was a dull date.

dry humping and pretending to be cool.

Most dates I’ve gone on are in groups, alot less awkward and alot more fun.

For my last date, we wore suits and went to dinner at a really nice restaurant and saw the symphony.

But I am a weirdo.

We drove around til we got bored (assuming you have a driver’s license). Then we’d pull off somewhere and (depending on how cold it was outside), either sit by a river somewhere or sit in the car, listening to music and making out. Occasionally we would go bowling, billiards, see a movie. Sometimes (most times) we’d try to sneak into another movie. Two for the price of one. Other times we’d just hang out at each other’s houses.

Took her to romantic restaurants/cafes, nothing cheap and dirty like McDiabetes. Of course I have always behaved, I am not a simple minded hooligan. Then later, we would smoke in front of the bus stop and talk about dreams and all that jazz. Sometimes we’d go see an art house movie or a concert.

My boyfriend and I (the only guy I’ve ever dated…we were both 17 when we started going out) were in San Diego when we first started dating. We were on a trip down there, just the two of us. So we had plenty to do, went to restaurants, saw the sights, went to the zoo, drove around, hung around downtown, met up with two girls we knew who were also in San Diego at the same time, make out in the car, and various other things.

After we got back home and for the next couple months we just kinda hung out sporadically and arranged to do certain things like go to a restaurant, see a movie, go biking, or just do something quiet and intimate together. The thing that’s different about my situation most likely is that Rory was my close friend long before he was my boyfriend. Because our relationship was secret, we didn’t really double date or go out with a group. I mean, we still hung out with groups of people, but we didn’t reveal that we were dating.

Being in a relationship with Rory during this summer was the most fun I’ve ever had in my entire life.

Most of my high school dates were pretty typical. Movie, dinner. Dinner, movie. I was pretty shy and didn’t even go on a date until I was a senior. The two most memorable dates were the ones I mentioned on another question @steelerspilot asked. A picnic lunch followed by a canoe trip easy to manage because my date owned a canoe, and a trip to the local courthouse to watch a murder trial. That one was actually really interesting, until we got a severe case of the giggles and had to leave.

My first date with my husband was the best. We weren’t teenagers anymore, but I’ll tell you a bit about it in case it inspires you. We’d talked a lot before we actually went out, so we knew a bit about each other’s interests. We went out to dinner, and then he took me to a bookstore. He said he’d pick a book for me, and I should pick a book for him. He picked out some silly chick lit book, and I picked Ayn Rand’s “The Fountainhead.” I think he was a little daunted. He actually read it and loved it. Then we went to the casino, which was new to me not having grown up around here. He taught me how to play roulette, we had drinks, walked around and admired the general splendor…it was a lot of fun. He was fun. :) The bookstore part was the best, though, because it showed he’d been paying attention and already knew the way to my heart. I’m a nerd.

Yeah I ask stupid questions about teenagers because I love to see the responces. In the next few minutes you will see another question.

Les's avatar

What? This was an experiment? What’s the point of asking a question you think is stupid?

The kind of dates we have aren’t those romantic restaurant kind.
We usually go skating together or hang out with friends.

@lefteh : As a teenager you can afford that date? Yeesh, you must have a pretty good after school job, you weirdo!

Dates in high school for me were usually meeting up at a friend’s house to watch a movie. Occasionally we would go out to a movie or for pizza. There were a few times we would go to local band performances and stuff like that. A lot of high school was spent dating a very Christian guy with whom I joined at church events. We normally ended the night making out, regardless who I was with; Christian guy or not.

@ubersiren Politics pays well, contrary to popular belief..

Hey, I wish I could date someone who likes the Symphony. I’m the only person I know who likes classical music or has ever been to the Symphony for fun. I’ve been there like 10 times in the past couple years, but always with my mom. :P

@DominicX Nothing wrong with momdates. Though, it is much more romantic when you’re with someone else.

Miniature golf was always popular for me.

Hung out at the guy’s house / went to a party / went to the movies / went out to eat / walked around the city.

also, drank and had sex.

Haleth's avatar

When I was a teenager, I went into the city a lot. Anything cheap and cultural was game, like street festivals, galleries, museums, and outdoor film showings. There are always tons of awesome free stuff to do. Most of my dates were group dates, and we’d go pretty much anywhere large groups of teenagers were allowed after dark. We went ice skating, the mall, restaurants, smoked hookah, stuff like that.

Movies, hung out. That’s pretty much it.
