A classic educational film guides kids through the complexities of dating, with plenty of amusing (and sexist) advice. Remember girls -- don't act superior. Boys like to know they're appreciated! The excerpt below, "How do you choose a date?" is just part of the 12-minute film, which is available in its entirety at the Prelinger Archive.
