DAT ING 50 I Dating games arrange mates Dating is no longer an impromptu ritual, but a series of strategic moves designed to bring two people together. Prospective daters maneuver to secure their position with the opposite sex. Planning in- volves a variety of tactics. Simply liking someone is more complicated than the situation infers. It involves putting one's best foot for- ward on a full-time basis. Certain steps are taken before a date is arranged. The usual pro- cedure is to first discover the person's schedule. If his locker is in the lower blue wing, it would be advisable to use a bathroom in the same location. After this has been accomplished, ascertaining his or her interests is vital. Some even go as far as finding out where they hang out, and ar- range to run into them accidentally If all these steps have been helpful, it is time to muster up some courage and proceed. At this point, girls may get up a few minutes earlier to do their hair or to pick out a special out- fit. Guys may feel a new pair of jeans or a haircut are in order. Phoning a girl is important if a boy wants to keep her interested. Although it might start with a call or two a week, it can lead to an every night habit. Once the relationship is establish- ed, other patterns emerge. For some, getting the date is enough and the game ends. Others will enjoy the friendship, and it will result in the pair going steady. A third group will date, but not to the exclusion of others. Dating is a wonderful social ex- perience of immense importance to teenagers. Customs may change, but people do not. Thus, techniques may vary, but the fun of dating remains. by Leslie Simon On a romantic date at Nat's, Seniors Steve Hoff and Michelle Fontenot show their love by holding hands while sipping a chocolate shake.
