My dating experience when I was single was in the '60s and early '70s. I did very different sorts of things on dates in high school and in college.
The former was more traditional - movies, driving around listening to music (on an AM radio, the only option available except for record players at someone's home), going to the beach or a park, picnics, school dances, parties at a someone's house while their parents were away, etc.
In college, my dates and I did a much larger range of different sorts of things...still movies, music and going to restaurants though (traditional stuff), but also live music (from small clubs to giant rock festivals), political events/activities (rallies, protests, campaigning and more), getting drunk and/or high (various drugs), museums, lectures, road trips, panhandling (to get money for some specific recreational purpose mostly), cooking together, recreational/experimental sex of various sorts, endless hours of conversation about nearly any conceivable topic, "nudist events" (not sure what to call them exactly) that sometimes turned into mellow orgies, living together (is that a form of dating?)...
I fear that I've forgotten much of the fun I had.
