A college senior says in his years of study he has had one date with a girl. The piece contrasts dateless girls and the social scramble for partners, noting the differing pressures and expectations.
The dateless boy is not a misanthrope but pursues absorbing aims such as business or study. Some are bashful youths who tremble at the sight of a skirt, yet will likely grow bolder in love. Girls should note that such boys may possess valuable qualities for marriage.
