Of Interest To Women

o. Through some friends I have recently become acquainted with a very delightful gentleman, whose acquaintance I would like to culti- vate. But every time he has asked for a date, have had to refuse him because of previous engagements that could not break. He has never suggested an alternate date, and I am afraid that he thinks that do not want to see him.
 A. Refusing a date several times without legitimate excuse may be taken to mean that you do not wish to develop TO continue the acquaint- ance and no gentleman forces his attentions on lady. However, it would be perfectly proper the next time that he asks for date, to say, Tt seems as if every time you have asked me to go out with you I have to refuse, but I shall be free such and such evening""
