Show Louisa's Letters . . . Dear Louisa: I am a girl 15 years old and T have been going with a boy 17 years old. He is a nice boy and his people are nice but my parents don't care for me to go with him. One night I went out with a boy 20 years old and it made this boy mad. He acts friendly but never asks for a date. How can I win him back? T. M. C. Answer: I do not see why the boy should have been angry unless the other boy was a bad character or unless you had promised not to go with him. You are really too young to go with men of twenty. Go with boys of your owi age. I can't tell you how to get him back because I don't know why he stopped. LOUISA. Dear Louisa: I have been writing to a boy ever since he went into the service a year ago. I've always known him and we have been friends a long time. He seems to enjoy my letters a great deal and misses them if I fail to write. But my problem is this I find myself in love with this boy but he seems to consider me just a friend. In fact, when he gets home on leave, he doesn't pay me much attention and I get crazier about him all the time. I hate to stop writing to him as I think we should do all we can to keep the boys in the service happy but, on the other hand, it doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere. Do you think it would be a good idea for me to write and tell him how much I love him and how I hate to see him go? "PERPLEXED" Answer: Your friend evidently likes you just as a friend and if he is the least bit in love with you, doesn't realize it. You will do yourself harm rather rath-er than good by writing to him of your love. For there is nothing that makes a fellow take to his heels like thinking that some girl is chasing him when he is not in love. The only thing for you to do is to keep on writing newsy, interesting inter-esting letters to him in the hope that he will some day find that your companionship is necessary to his happiness. If you feel that such a course will have no effect on your friend, you will have to decide for yourself your-self what to do. Only you can know what course will cause you the least unhappiness. LOUISA. |
