Continued from page 2 -jqgyg wish Jerry was taking me out. Naturally, we see each other often, and though he.'a pleasant to me. he's never asked for another date. Is there any possible way for me to get him back? L. M. FLI GHTY LADS ANSWER: Boys of Jerry's age are not dependable creatures. It hkea a boy longer, as a rule, to make his final choice. than it does a girl. While you. at 17. may be quite ready to go steady and be serious. 1. young man of 18 is still looking around. Perhaps Jerry Just isn't the one for you: in that case. a bit of looking around is the prescription for you. too. Keep going with the other boys you date and quite likely you'll Ilnid one you like. Crying definitely isn't the solution. If you're old enough to be seriously interested in a boy. you're old enough to rea- lise that one can't have everythiiig one wants. What we want frequent- ly is not good for us. In a few years. when you're settled down with someone else. you may look back on your present frustration and pm- bobfly be very thankful that you did not get yourown way. There's absolutely no sure any to get a boy back once his atten- Hona have strayed. You aren't aneglected belle. by any means. After a year": reparation. you're seeing Jerry largely through rose-colored gluaea. I'm sure if on recall all Jerry's characteristics, you'll remember come that weren't all glamor. Getting over a broken romance takes a Vit of philooovphizing and an acceptance of reality. DEAR MISS DIX: I am a dvzvorcee of 20. My two children and I live now with my mother. Two years ago I met a man. 24. who was married at the time. but has since separated from his wife. He and my brother. as well as myself. are quite musical and often get together for a song fest. This man tells me the reason he hasn't obtained a divorce as yet. is because he hasn't met a girl he liked. but that he is consulting a lawyer now, My brother thinks I shouldn't go out with him until the divorce is granted. RUTH ANSWER: Your brother is quite right. A divorcee. especially if she had children. is vulnerable to gossip. If your ex-husband wan-ted custody of hill children. he'd have a fair chance of getting them, should your conduct give him cause. Going out with a married man aurely will cause you to be a target for gossip. Furthermore. in view 01 your youth, and the fact that you have already gone through one marital failure. ! think you should postpone all thoughts of remarriage for smne time.
