Trying to plan a night out (or in) with your sweetie?
Real girls give their tried and tested best ideas for every possible occasion
"I love going to the zoo on a first date. It's not too expensive, and it's hilarious to see your guy get all goo-goo over the koalas."
-- Dominique, 17 . Columbia, SC
"A day of fun in the snow! We could go for a walk on to an outdoor skating rink and skate. Since I can't skate too well, it's a GREAT excuse to hold his hand! We'd end the day with a trip to the coffee shop for some hot chocolate."
-- Laurie, 15 . Ontario, CA
"Go to a rec center, where you can go out and have fun with different activities, and you can also eat."
-- Cortney, 17 . Jasonville, IN
"Go to a driving range and hit a few golf balls. It's fun, plus you can talk and get to know each other, which you couldn't do in a movie. And your guy can teach you how to swing."
-- McKenah, 16 . Peoria, AZ
"Watch a funny movie and cuddle up under a warm blanket."
-- Lauren, 18 . North Platte, NE
"My idea of a first date would be to go to the movies with a group of friends and your new boyfriend/guy you're interested in. That way, it's not too weird and you won't have awkward silences. You can go out with a group of friends, but that doesn't mean you both have to sit with them!"
-- Bethany, 16 . Wheeling, WV
"The perfect first date would be an evening at Disneyland or an amusement park: plenty of time to talk and have fun! Plus a great opportunity to hold your guy's hand on scary rides."
-- Jaime, 16 . Anaheim, CA
"A day trip to the aquarium is a perfect date. There will always be something to talk about."
-- MaSara, 16 . Lusby, MD
