She's funny, smart, nice, and beautiful, and we went on a first date, we held hands, went roller skating, it was nice, now this is my first gf, so I don't know what to much. My friends say that I should take her out once a week, is that too much? And where can we go? Once a week takes a lot of places fast, and there aren't any movies that she wants to go see out right now, any ideas? And we are still in school, so no bars or anything like that please.

 Ask her and see what she likes, how often and where to go and so on. But doing an activity together once a week is ideal, and minimum if you ask me, although it depends on how much time you spend together the rest of the week and if you do activities then too.
Don't worry about running out of things to do, just start doing things you enjoy and new ideas will come to you as you get along. Me and my (now ex) boyfriend usually came up with 5 new things we wanted to do each time we met and did something, so there was a waiting list of things to do. We're friends now, and the list of things we want to do together is still there, such as watching this or that movie, going to the cinema, having coffee, going for a walk, having a bottle of wine (that ones for adults of course), playing the golf simulator at my work, play video games, board games, see, loads of things. We've been so busy with things we wanted to do that the bottle of wine we planned to drink has been waiting for 4 months now, and the cup of coffee has waited one month already. Granted, we don't meet every week, but we meet fairly often.
You'll think of things to do, as long as you enjoy the time you have together you will come up with things together that you want to do.

At your age, do not feel pressured to spend all kinds of money by taking your love interest to all kinds of places for dates. Certainly, you should do the classic dinner and a movie on occasion. However, as you will see over time, dinner and a movie can get old pretty fast. As noted above, you can play sports, or even attend sporting events. Additionally, you can go on walks together, which allows you to explore nature. Perhaps the thing I did most often, and I still do with my fiance today, is going to coffee shops. Bring a board game or a deck of cards with you and you can play games and talk for hours. Eventually you will be ready to meet your respective family, in which case you will be able to do things at your homes (i.e., watch movies, cook, play games, etc.). Good luck!

 When I had boyfriends at your age, I would only really go on dates with them at weekends, but of course i'd see them at school and things too :)I'd suggest meals and cinema, or even just getting a coffee and talking for hours, you have so much to find out about each other this early on into a relationship :)Enjoy!

 Once a week should be the minium that you see her, most couples see each other 2-3 times a week, but at your age once a week should be fine.
You dont always have to do anything massively exciting on your dates, the longer you are together the more comfortable you will be with each other so you will just be able to chill out and stay at home together. But for now, here are a few ideas:
1. Walking. If it is a nice day then go out for a walk together. If you really want to impress her take a picnic, that is always cute.
2. Go for dinner. I know you are not old enough to go to bars but you can still eat out, doesnt have to be anywhere expensive.
3. Museum/Art Galleries. Might be a little boring for you at your age but some places have interesting exhibitions so it might be worth checking them out
4. Theatre. Go see a show at a local theatre
5. Cinema - films are released once a week so you will have plenty of choice, even if there isnt anything on now I'm sure that will change by next week
6. Sports - go and play tennis together, or badminton, squash....there are plenty of things you can do. Maybe even try something new, pick a sport you have always wanted to try and do it together. A bike ride together would work as well.
So there are 6 date ideas - that takes your relationship up to 7 weeks together, and by that point maybe you will be ready to meet each other's parents. Once you have met the parents then you can hang out at each other's houses and just watch TV or a DVD or something like that.
I hope this helps and good luck!
