Teenage Dating!

DS1 (age 15) has just gone out on his first date (makes me feel old!). They've gone to the cinema, he was asking me where else they could go and other than bowling I couldn't think of anywhere else!!

Any ideas?

  • somewhere afterwards to get a bite to eat?

    i think all i did when dating was go out to starbucks or a restaurant on a first date so that we could talk.

    good luck to him

    A walk to the local park?

    At 15 you don't have to be spending money on a date surely? Does he have to pay for her or do they go dutch?

    Nearest ice rink is 1½ hours away unfortunately.

    They're planning on going for some chips after the cinema and a wander around the marina (where the cinema is).

    Apparently teenagers don't do meals for dating!!

    I did suggest the park but got told that all the manky kids hang out there smoking and drinking!

    Not sure if they're going dutch but he did make sure he had enough money to pay for both of them so that he can make the offer!

    What about swimming especially with the weather getting better? I know its not very romantic but they are fifteen and should be having fun on dates not worrying about violins and romance :-)

    Our local pool does do a swimming disco once a week (no idea how you swim/dance at the same time!!) so that might be an idea.
