Dear Cynthia--Now. Cynthia, I 60

my senior. like this young man very
much, but when I am out with him he
seems to be miles away In thought. If
I ask him a question he never hears
me and has to ask me to repeat II. I
have invited him to my home and he
has come. but never seems at ease or
enjoying himself. I know 1t was no
ones fault but his own then, as every
one else had Il great time. Can't you
advise me? Shall | simply refuse his
invitations and forget him?

Try to find out what special subject
he Ia interested in and see II you can
not draw him out by talking about that.
II he is still SO quiet. there isn't any
use in bothering with him. Perhaps II
you do refuse an invitation or two. he
will rouse himself to be more attentive
and interesting.
