I read thus book between 1972-1975. The setting was probably England. A teenaged couple picked up fish and chips and went to park near the woods to eat their food. The boyfriend went into the woods to go to the bathroom and never returned. The girl went to look for him but could not find him. The title was something like Not The Usual Kind of Girl.

I bought it from the book fair in high school if that helps.
It's easy when you know the title Not the Usual Kind of Girl by Joan Tate?
Opposites do attract! He's huge and funny and level-headed. She's tiny and awkward and feather-brained. They like each other a lot. Then one Saturday, right after the weekly football match, Nibs disappears-- literally into thin air. Clee simply can't believe it. She has to find out what is happened to him. When she goes to the police they give her a polite brush off, thinking she's imagining things. But then clues turn up-- clues that lead the police to something they've been trying to find for a long time. Will those clues also lead Clee back to her beloved Nibs?
The book does not appear to be in the goodreads database, though.

Thank you. I Googled it and did not get that book as an answer. I must have spelled something wrong. I feel like an idiot.
Pls don't feel that way, I didn't mean to sound hoity-toity, I just meant it was easy to find it.For google search for exact phrase you can place it in quotes (like "Not the Usual Kind of Girl").
You didn't sound hoity-toity at all. I should have used quotation marks. Thank you again
