Yet I never get approached by men. It's from a recent addition to the collection titled Teen Days. It was written by Frances Bruce Strain in 1946. But I hear you say, 'My trouble is not too many dates, or going after other people's dates or giving up dates. The strategic thing is the introduction. . . .
Friends bring about introductions and introductions are touchstones.
They can make or unmake a first date. You can make your own introduction through associations at school, or church or just talking the same bus to school, but it is nicer when some friend brings up a boy at some social affair and says 'Tricksy, I'd like you and Dick to know each other. Tricksy, this is Dick Burns. Dick, this is Beatrice Hale.' . . . Introductions must be exploratory, both must share the exchange of remarks which follow.
