My first date

Since I turned sixteen in July, I have started going on dates. In my opinion, it's the funnest thing a teenager can do. My first date was on my sixteenth birthday, July 9th 2008 with one of my best guy friends, Israel. He picked me up, stopped for my mom to take a picture (typical) and we left. It was a pretty simple outing. We just drove around for a bit, stopped by the mall and then got some ice cream at SubZero. I think, if it was with anyone else, it would have been akward, or lacking in the conversation spectrum, but me and Israel talked for over an hour just about everything. When it started to get dark, we left the ice cream place, and he dropped me off at my friend Kara's apartment, where I had a sleepover with her and my other friend Jessica. Somehow it surprised me that my parents, (who are very cautious with the males in my life) let me go on a one-on-one date, because normally, they would have made me do a double date. For a first date, it was absolutely perfect.
