almost two years and he has told
me of his love. He says he IL In
no position to settle down and will
not be for years to come. I told
him I would be willing to give
up my boy friends and suggested
that he give up his girl friends.
He says he is not willing. Do you
think he loves me II he takes this
attitude? I am madly in love with
him. II. l..
THIS boys idea of love" Is =
l. selfish thing with no roots and
no substance. All his Ifs" and
butts" destroy any possible depth
10 his declaration that he cares
for you. Since he doesn't want to
be exclusively in your society, since
he can't look forward to time
when he can ask you to marry
hmi--don't you see how weak and
selfish he Is to talk about loving
you. Don't let this infatuation
get any deeper hold on your imag-
ination. Go about with other boys
and keep your mind from centering
on this one. Nothing can come
of an affair Of this caliber.
