Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
seventeen and in my junior year at
nign school. have known a boy for
scout ten years and have gone with
MIN on and on for the last two years.
l. know that this boy thinks a great
zeal or me. although he has never
exactly told ne so. Every action shows
that he does.
Everyone knows how he feels about
II and everyone for miles around looks
upon me as his future wife. This is
very annoying. Although 1 think more
Of this boy than any I have met and
Vaiue him as dear friend, yet / do
not love him. For certain reasons
can never marry him.
Would you advise me to quit going
with him now, before I learn to love
him, or would it be all right to keen
on going with him although I can
never marry him? I should hate to
deceive him, as he is too good a boy
for that
How can get better acquainted
with the boys at school? The girls
all treat me very nice as long as
there are no boys around. but as soon
as boys come around they will not
speak to me first. do not care to go
with tHese boys, out just want TO De
on friendly terms with them
DAILY READER.
At the age Of seventeen you need
not give up a friend who has not men
toned love simply because you feel
you could never marry him. Do not
assume any deeper relationship than
that Of friendship. When the time
comes that the boy mentions love, tell
him the truth. The truth would hurt,
Of course, but it is human nature to
get over sch disappointments and to
learn to care for someone else.
Probably you are super-sensitive and
through bashfulness give the impress
sion that you are not friendly. Speak
to the boys as cordially as you would
to girls. When you meet them half
way, I believe. you will find that they
like you better and are more cordial
to you.
