Keep guessing

Ever been in this kind of complicated situation? One of your friends is a boy. In December there was a rumour flying around that you fancied him. You did not, and you denied it totally.

Now, of course you DO fancy him! What can you do? According to an article in the Time Magazine if you write about your problem to an Agony Aunt she would probably say "What a clever strategy you use to attract men! You are way ahead of the game and should have him wrapped around your finger in no time.

Or you could turn to Dorothy Dix who says on pages 86-87 in her book How to Win and Hold a Husband exactly what to do. "Don't chase men.

Make them chase you. Don't telephone men and ask them why they haven't been to see you. Make them feel that it is a favour when you answer their telephone calls. Don't write three emails to his one. Be so long answering him that you will have him guessing whether you have developed typing paralysis.

Don't forget that boys can no more have a good time without girls than girls can without boys, and that if girls would hold off more men would come on more. Nothing interests a man more than to ascertain why a girl is not interested in him".
