I dress for the occasion. The way I
do this is to ask my date in advance
where we are going. Also, I try to be
ready on time, but this isn't easy
because I always seem to be late.

I give the boy a chance to talk and tell
me what he thinks about movies, music,
anything. But I have my own opinions,
too, and I'm not ashamed of airing them.
I always introduce my date to Mother.
It's not only polite, but she's had
more experience with people than I,
and I respect her judgment of boys.

gives some candid advice on a subject

UJL.9
by SANDRA DEE
I keep getting letters from girls my own age asking for help
with their dating problems. Frankly, at 17, I'm just getting
over my own awkwardness with boys. I must confess it took a
number of painful mistakes until I learned what can turn an
uncomfortable evening into an unforgettable one. But I ended
up with a set of rules that have worked wonderfully for me. So
I asked Troy Donahue, my costar in "A Summer Place," to
help me illustrate them for you.
When he takes me out to
dinner, I consider how much
he can afford. A good rule
is to ask him to suggest
something from the menu.
I show appreciation for a
pleasant evening by telling
him I've had a good time. I
don't absolutely feel it's
necessary to throw in a kiss,
too. I save that for people I
like in a very special way.
