Teen Romances

Very quickly the week is hastening on. and here we are at Tuesday already.  

 I enjoyed comic books as a kid.  I never saw these though. which were gone by the time I was around.  I loved Archie Comics, Lil Audrey, Casper, Richie Rich 

 Howdy... welcome to Tuesday 4 which was hosted originally by Toni Taddeo  and which we keep going in her memory.

Teen-Age Romances was a comic that ran from 1949 to 1955. It cost 10¢ a copy.

Used magazines now can be bought by collectors from hundreds of dollars to almost $2000. for a copy.

1. Did you have a teen-age romance?  If not, did you dream of one?   Yes. I did have  a teen romance  and it was very serious.  In my yearbook he talked of how we would spend our lives together.   It was not to be and I am glad now that it wasn't!

2. What made it romantic? Or if it wasn't why not?    I think things are romantic when people think of one another's happiness.

3.  What were dates like when you were younger? What did people do.. where did they go?  Dates were movies, bowling, skating, football, basketball games, taking walks, going to the weekly dances on Saturday nights at the school.  Of course being on the beach was always a big deal for us.

4,  What kind of things, places etc. do you find romantic?   The beach and boardwalk especially at night, holding hands and walking through Central Park.  Hiking in the forest and stopping by waterfalls.  NJ has quite a lot of them.
