We just go to clubs and pubs... and get completely pissed.

Tea-dance? Surely not.

Where do the girls get to wear pretty dresses? When do the boys get to agonize over asking girls on dates (do you guys "date"?) How do young teenagers meet and socialize in parent-approved fashion?

Give us a break, or all those Draco/Hermione "Marriage Law" stories will be All Your Fault.

Haven't had tea dances or inter-school dances (boys school socialises with girls school with teachers looking on disapprovingly - very much a cattle market) since the 1970s.

But given that the Wizarding World is 50 years behind the times I suppose you can get away with all those marriage law fics.

Brits Do Not Date.

Given the period I suspect that James' eventual proposition to Lily was along the lines of "Get your coat, luv. You've pulled."

Usually teen romance consists of asking the other out then kissing behind the bus stop and hanging out with mates together round the park or at each others houses.

Older people tend to just meet in clubs and end up either going home together or meet each other in a similar situation.
