Spain
Spanish people usually start dating between the ages of 14 and 18 and in some areas, couples date only if they plan to get married. It is customary for a couple to be engaged beforehand and this is symbolized by the groom-to-be giving the bride-to-be a necklace or a ring. The engagement can last several years and during this time the couple will purchase a home. Although attitudes are changing, the couple usually does not live together until after they are married. At the point of engagement, the man will ask his girlfriend's father for permission to marry his daughter. He may present her father with a watch. In Spain teens join a pandilla, a club or a group of friends with the same interests, like cycling or hiking. Dating is done one-to-one and both girls and boys ask each other out and split the cost of the evening's entertainment.
西班牙
西班牙人通常在14岁到18岁之间开始约会，而在一些地区，两个人只有在打算结婚后才开始约会。先行订婚是一项习俗，其标志就是，准新郎向准新娘赠送一条项链或一枚戒指。订婚期可以延续好几年，而准新人会在此期间购买房子。虽然观念在发生变化，但在结婚以前两个人通常是不会住在一起的。在订婚的时候，男方要先求得女方父亲对其婚事的同意。他会将一块手表作为礼物送给女方父亲。在西班牙，年轻人会参加pandilla，这是一种俱乐部或是有相同爱好的朋友群体，他们可能都喜欢骑车或徒步旅行。约会是以一对一对的方式进行的，男孩和女孩会互相提出邀请，并且平摊晚间娱乐花销。澳大利亚
在澳大利亚，大多数年轻人在十八、九岁以前是不会单独约会的，而是成群结队地外出游玩。一般是女孩邀请男孩外出约会，并支付约会的花销。情侣们通常会参加晚宴聚会，烧烤野餐，或者去海滩游玩。
