Young Love  

You may be young, but that doesn’t mean you can’t plan a romantic activity with a girlfriend or boyfriend.  Even if you don’t drive, there are options!

 

Take a look at some of these ideas and see what you can find that you like:

 

Ø      Plan a ‘picnic’ in your room.  Spread a blanket on the floor, make sandwiches, bring soda and play some nice romantic music on your CD player or snuggle and watch a romantic movie.

 

Ø      Sign up for a cooking class together and be partners at the stove. 

 

Your mother or father can drive you there and pick you up, but you’ll have a great time in between cooking and feeding each other tastes of the foods you’ve cooked and you’ll learn something in the process!

 

Ø      Start a ‘couple website’ where both of you can post pictures and maybe even have a blog where you can write things down and have your friends comment, etc.

 

You can track important dates there, talk about the prom, and post pictures of the two of you climbing out of the limo.

 

Ø      Visit your local library together and when you are finished doing your homework, go to the love poems section and choose a few books. 

 

Share the passages and citations you find in the books and write down the names of your favorite love poems.

 

Then find them online and send snips of the poems to each other via email.

 

Ø      Place bets on your favorite sport or the sport your girlfriend or boyfriend likes best.  

 

Whoever wins the bet that week gets to select a ‘treat’, a walk in the park or whatever they’d like to do that they find romantic.
