High School Date Ideas

We've been asked a few times about date ideas for high school dances...it's finally here. I feel like dating scene has changed so much since I've been in high school. It seemed like there were less places to go and everyone went to all the chain restaurants. Now, I feel like it's more local and mom and pop. So here's 22 High School Date Ideas in Utah! Plus a few food places I'm craving currently.
