Dating Lori Smith For as long as we can re- member, most of us have been taught that someday the time would come to find a mate. So when we got to high school, we became aware of the world of dating. Although some teen- agers do not date, the majority do. People date for many reasons. Some are mainly concerned about status and popularity, while others are more interested in friendship and having some- one to care for them. Some younger teens date to prove that they are mature. A survey of Howe students showed that teenagers are at- tracted to each other for differ- ent reasons. Boys tended to notice physical appearance first, but other qualities were men- tioned too. Girls seemed to judge a boy first by a total impression rather than a single quality. The survey also showed that there was no real turn-on or turn-off except the use of profanity. Most teenagers judge the total person not just one aspect. Daters agreed that the most common places to go on a date are to the movies and out to eat. But there are other things to do like go to parties, hayrides, ball games, and dances or just stay home to watch television. Even if it doesn ' t work out, we have gotten to know another person. Dating is, at the very least, a good way to make new friends. Art by Mike Verbosky 18-Dating
