The best way to attact a boy's attention is to polish the package. ... All it takes is extra time spent on personal appearance. Expensive clothes help, but most teen clothing budgets are limited. Time costs nothing and works wonders.
When girls complain that boys don't date, they forget that dates are expensive. If two go to the local neighborhood movie and eat hamburgers afterward, there isn't much change left from a five dollar bill. A boy may want to see a girl every week but his budget dictates onece a month.
The girl who parks in a lonely spot with her date may, by her willingness to park, seem to encourage an advance from him. ... But because they are far from the public eye, the boy may get carried away and she will soon find she is out of her depth. A girl has to remember this before she puts herself in a spot where this may occur.

Holy shit, that's a keeper! Maybe it needs to be archived by the Women's Studies department, as reference material? It could be shown to young women who don't think feminism is necessary anymore, since those excerpts sound like the sort of advice my niece gets from her friends.
I'm just wondering if there's a way to take 2 people to a movie and hamburgers for under $5 any more...if you know, please share. How nice would that be? I don't think you can even get one person in to a matinee show for under $5 now.
Carrie: I don't think you could even make two "home-burgers" for $5! However, we have one theatre locally (The Roxy Cenegog)that offers a tightwad Tuesday special -- two movies $2.50 so you could get two people in for $5. You couldn't eat though... unless you paid with a US$5 -- then you could buy a candy bar with the change.
