22 “tum Nwnwii [FffAMaHElKf am 2SSS« '-SSE THE DATING GAME Hey look, what could she say to you? For openers, 'bug off. you sniveling little creep!' Sure she could say that, but then again, she could say yes just as easily. You've got a fifty-fifty chance. That's right, I never thought about it like that. I will ask her ... tomorrow. No! not tomorrow, right now! There she is; go say hi to her. Oh, hi Jenny. Hi Rob, how did you do on that test in Chemistry? Passed, but just barely. Terrific, thinks Rob. she's talking to me. The dark shadow of rejection is beginning to re- cede. Yeah, me too. those tests are rough. Say. Jenny? Yeah? Well ... I was kinda wondering if you would like to go see a movie . . or go out to eat ... or go somewhere .. or something? Rob has just thrown himself on Jenny's mercy. The crucial moment has arrived. Will she or won't she? Rob begins to sweat as his adolescent life flashes before his eyes. Okay, sounds great, when? How about this Friday; we'll go to a movie. Okay. here. I'll give you my phone number. The painful searching is now at an end. Rob and Jenny are no longer individuals, they are a couple. This is a story that has been repeated many times and with many variations, but two very valuable pieces of information were exchanged — I like you and you like me. Central people enjoy dating mostly because it allows them a chance to be with people that they enjoy. Some people think going out a lot is too much of a good thing. Says Sherri Weaver. It's dumb and ineffective to go out every night. That's marriage, not dating. Says Dan Trenary, As long as you don't take dating to excess, it's a good thing. You don't need the distrac- tion of dating seven days a week. Nevertheless, the forces of nature can- not be ignored. Whether it leads to something special or not, dating in high school does lead to having a closer friend.
