Love is often mystery to teenagers- sometimes painful, other times glorious, always challenging. Some people think of teen love and smile. Its not real love they say. But teen love is very real and powerful. Perhaps at no other time in our lives are the joys and pains felt as strongly, or experienced more deeply. If you have found a person and are ready to go out, then here are some creative ideas that you can pick

Art-fest: take your date to art museum or art gallery or art festival. After returning, get together huge sheets of paper and pens and create you're your own art work.

Sail away: take selling lessons together.

A dance or a game: high schools are always having dances and football games, so you can invite your date to one of these. It's a good safe bet.

Athletic date: an athletic date can be a great way to spend the time together. Just be sure to make it a date, not a competition. You can go for hiking, nature walks, bike riding, roller blading, horse back riding, skiing, billiards etc.

Party: one of the ways to break the ice is taking your date to parties like pizza party, sundae party, video party or to a cook out.

Do something neither of you have done before- find an activity neither you have tried but that you have both thought to be interesting. Figuring out the thing to do that you have in common can be as much fun as the thing itself.

Shopping together: let's say you are looking for a gift for someone like your father or mother. Take your date along with you to a mall and look for the gift together.

Picnic: plan a picnic to a local park or natural area like a lake side. It's a great idea to spend some time together. Invite some friends along if you want a little less intimacy.

Have a dance: usually you think of ?going to the dance? at school, but what about having your own dance? Get some friends together, pick the music and dance.

Other classic dates: most of these are more fun filled if you invite two or three other couples to go along with you like bowling, amusement park, ice skating, water parks, concerts etc.
