TtilksCWith 'Teenagers

By Fr. JosephA. Co~ta,O.F.M. CAP.

Having fun on a date. Dating should be a time for wholesome fun. You may find that doing things for the first time with the other sex-going to movies, rollerskating, swimming,. play-

· ing tennis-is quite different from doing them with your own sex. This difference in itself may be pleasant.

To have a good time on a date, you should not only enjoy· . doing it, you. should also enjoy' the, memory of it. As adults :know, being' able to~nicall things you have done and to discuss­theinwith ,other people ,is a: great part of the enjoyment of ~tliem .. If you saw· a ,great -movie alone, and, couldn't talk 'to · anyone about it, it wouldn't' be nearly as much fun as if you

~, .sa:v it with a group and : could discuss it with them later.

Whether you' have a g~od time tonight depends to a large extent, 'therefore, . upon how' you can look upon it tomorrow. Will :.you qook . back on what you are doing and talk about it ,to 'others without regret? . Or wi II you· feel ashamed or

,embarrassed for something you said or did? . No matter how much excitement there seems to be at the time, if it is some­

,thing :you :cannot . discuss ,freely it obviously. is not as en joy-able ,as iit'should ,be. ' . >

·If 'you know in 'advance what you are going to do, you will··avoid ,one: of, the greatest dangers of dating - boredom. If you ,are ona date and wondering what to do next, some-

· body may make a wild suggestion which proves to be a trouble­maker. The boy ·should generally initiate 'the date. ·It is unwise· for. a . girl to call unless she is asking for a boy to a somewhat 'formal affair.

You will .usually have more fun if you 'goout wilhone I. ~ .:

,or. more ,couples. This .is ,also what 'you will likely do as a ~; married couple. It is always more enjoyable doing things in · a group, and there is also less chance that your relationship -, will get toserious.·: . .

,~_ i.c·, ,

: ~ ';Inddentally, at dances· and on other' dates, ,don't "pair 'off"' ina l!{)rner; away from the crowd. ,That is courting

7 t-emptatlontoo much, a girl's· reputation won't stand many such ~'iricidents 'before ,she' becomes known.in a way, that· is not 'complimentary ..
