Photos of What Your First Date Looked Like in the '70s
Dating in the 1970s had a special charm that is completely different today after the rise of social media and technological innovations.
The following images show moments of innocence, fashion, and Afro hairstyles. Couples used to meet in public places like cafes, outdoors, or in parks.
In the photos, you can see smiles, warm hugs, and serious faces as well. The visual aesthetic features warm colors and couples posing spontaneously for the camera.
