A perfect date for a teen?
Hi, I'm currently a guy (16 Years Old) that wants to know what kind of fun things could two lovable teenagers do for like a special romantic date. I really want to surprise my girlfriend but it's really hard of doing so just because I have no idea what to do sometimes... It stresses me out because she talks about me not making the decisions of what we'll do a certain day that we'd want to see each other. When we're together we have fun but it just really bothers me.

The way plans usually work in a relationship is when we take turns out we plan them out together.
Having fun doesn't always mean you need to go out and blow a hole in your pocket. Find a local coffee shop or a cafe, Have a nice lunch and sit and talk.
My husband and I don't always have the cash on hand but usually we hang out at coffee shops and just sit by the fireplace for a whopping $10.00 tops.
The movies usually has a discount on tickets once a week, You could call them up and see what day they offer half price.
When the weather gets a bit nicer maybe try hiking or find a trail where you both can walk. Pack a lunch and off ya go.
Sometimes bowling alleys also have discounts once a week, Call them up and ask. It never hurts
Or even so, You could always rent a redbox movie and just hang out at home. Grab a board game while your add it and plan a dinner together. Bada bing bada boom, Cheap and satisfying
Also, Hit the Zoo when it gets nicer. I like to pack a lunch at hang out in the warmer weather. Even just hitting the beach and grabbing a coffee to go. Check the internet for any concerts around etc.

I'm agreeing with the person below me, taking turns deciding is usually the best thing. When I was your age (eyes, i feel old) I had the same problem.
If you have transportation and money, there's always a concert or, depending on her interests, a musical or play or sport event.
You could go on a hike or go to the park and bring lunch. Making dinner together can be unexpectedly fun if you do something easy. My boyfriend and I like to make our own pizza. You can buy either pizza dough or pizza crust at the store then pick out sauce and toppings...something like Alfredo and/or pesto sauce with chicken or chicken meatballs and cheese is always good. If you know how to cook, making her dinner is awesome, I love when guys do that for me. You could bake some kind of dessert together.
Is there anything like Six Flags or a zoo in your area? Anywhere that would be fun for a day trip (beach, woods, big city, etc.)?

You make it sound as if you are the only one responsible for planning a date out. Why not take turns so that lets some of the stress off you to begin with. If the idea is that the partner is supposed to be surprised and have no idea what the date is going to be, thats fine...just every other date out, she plans one to surprise you, you plan one to surprise her. try making the suggestion and see what she thinks.
I don't know if you drive, have access to a car if you do, have any money whether from a job or allowance so I really have no idea what suggestions to make.
I will have to assume that there is very little money and it's supposed to be creative still, unexpected, a surprise and romantic. Really limits things but if its really the thought that counts to her...then there's unlimited stuff you can do, some corny maybe but the effort put into it from a loving heart are what makes it special.
Right off the bat, I am thinking of something I did for husbands first birthday. I told him we were going out to dinner and that our friends got me tickets to a show I was taking him to after the restaurant. So we had to stop at the friends house. When we got there, one met us at the door wearing a chefs hat welcoming him to the (some made up name) restaurant. I went through the part of saying we had reservations and we were led to a card table they set up in the middle of the living room with tablecloth and candles and a home made menu. He got his choice of meals listed their, like 3 choices cus they made 3 different things and whatever he didn't order, the rest of us would have. They had some romantic music playing in the background. You'd have to have family or friends family who would be understanding and supportive and agreeable to allow their kids and friends to take over the kitchen making enough for the parents too, allow them to set up the living, dining or a rec room to be a restaurant for event, and have some excuse to stopping by the house or going back to your own house. It's silly but it made good romantic memories.
Does she ever in conversation mention a movie that she really likes, an actor or actress, a favorite album or song? If you're great at singing, sing her a favorite song, or play the song and lip sync to her favorite song. You've heard how couples have a song that is "their song" cus whenever they hear it, they think of each other? Find such a song that makes you think of her, it may not end up "your couple song but I'll bet she'll find it special that you cared to share it with her. Theres nothing more romantic than a guy sharing his feelings for his girl with the aid of music. So whether you take her with a boom box to the park with a packed up picnic or whether you invite her over, ask her to put her prettiest dress for the date (show up in your room or the rec room, and you dress up as much as you can, shirt and tie. Have a fizzy non alchoholic drink in wineglasses and snacks and first play the song she likes and sing or lip sync to it. Then explain to her that there is a song that when you hear it makes you think of her. Hopefully its a cool love song. Memorize the words, print them out to hand to her and hit the play button and sing it to her. Play it again this time taking her into your arms to dance to it and then dance to more songs. Have time to sit and drink and have refreshments and dance some more. It may work really well if a friend of yours with a girl friend showed up a bit later, timed so you have the private songs with her first, or a girlfreind of hers and her boyfriend so there several couples dancing and chatting the rest of the night. It doesnt need to be totally alone time to be romantic and special.
For fair weather, I'd go for a picnic, just tell her your going on a bike ride together. Have a back pack on with dollar store tablecloth, picnic ware, some cans of pop and whatever you've gotten to bring to eat. and a blanket. If the park or place you take her to has a picnic table, you can do that but the blanket on the ground is a bit more romantic cus you can lay there and cuddle. Bring a book of poetry you rent from the library or borrow from a friend and while you lay on the blanket after your bike ride and picnic, pull this out of the bag and read aloud to her some romantic poetry. If she hates poetry, I am sure you can figure out a book she'll enjoy hearing you read aloud to her. If you buy her a book by a favorite author... you can give her the book as a gift to take home and finish reading. You may have to really give it some thought but somethings you can do on your own and others will need help of friends and family. Once you get used to how easy it is to come up with an idea, you'll see that half the battle, then ask others for help in bringing together the details, I know that a mom, or older sister may be happy to help.
