Texto - Dating - 6º ano

    In Britain young people (teenagers) start dating around the age of 14 or 15.

In the UK it’s common for young people to go out on a date without their parents.

Teenagers usually go out to watch a film, attend a party or watch a concert or other

event. Usually young people in the UK go on dates with people they know for fun.

Going on a date doesn’t mean the couple will get married. Teenagers usually chose

their own dates however sometimes they meet someone they haven’t met before, this

is called a “blind date”. Sometimes two couples go on a date as a group and this is

called a “double date”. When a couple go out on a date sometimes they share the cost

or “go Dutch”. However sometimes the boy will pay.
