Being with that one date He was a tall, tan surfer. We walked on the beach and went to the amusement park. Nikki Leuthe Q he: I wonder what I’ll S wear. I wonder if he’ll ever show up? Does he think I'm pretty? Will he kiss me goodnight? He: Where will I take her? What will we do? Will she like me? Should I make a pass? Going on a date can be the scariest experience of your life. Some people like seniors Anne O’Brien and Chip Wasson think that the prom was their best date. Anne said.“Last year’s prom was great because after it was over my date and I went out to a party. On an average, people said that they went out after the football games and out on Saturday nights. The curfew that most of the couples had to be in by was between eleven and one. The dates usually spent about ten to fifteen dollars every weekend. The most expensive weekend can cost up to thirty dollars.The money came mostly from parents and jobs including paper routes and waitressing. Sophomores Geoff Strohl and Eric Werley said that they spent more of their time with their friends, but some others spent more time with their girlfriends or boyfriends. But some shared the same amount of time with both. Senior Cheryl Murphy’s worst date was spent when “Finally I went out with a guy that had been asking me for a long time. Well, when we were going to the movies, he ran through a stop sign. We got stopped by a cop. who then gave my date a ticket. But to top it all off. my date’s battery in the car died. He had to call his dad and his dad picked us up in downtown Allentown. We ended up missing the movie.” Best and worst date 13
