1t is very foolish for girls to allow men
to "pck them up" in this way. If you do
not want the young man to know you are
interested in him you are certainly taking
the wrong way by meeting him on the
street. This is an extremely unwise thing
for any young girl to do. When you next
see him be perfectly natural and greet him
in a friendly fashion, but maintain some
degree of dignity
