%*dn ••day, November 21, 1162 THE MeHENRY PLAUVDEALER UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: I would like some pen pals. I'm 16 and enjoy working on science projects, model railroading, playing chess and tinkering with cars. -- Harry Grubbs, 1156 South Main Street, Danville, Va. DEAR DAN: My best friend is moving out of the state soon and her steady boy friend is going to be up for grabs. She thinks she can still keep him even though they'll be 500 miles apart but I know she can't. He's interested in me and I would like to date him (after she leaves) but I don't want to get her mad at me. How does a girl get out of & situation like |fris? We're all 16. -- B. I. K. DEAR B. I. K.: I hope the boy friend realizes the steady dating will automatically conclude with your girl friend moving away. If he does, he should tell her. That way you'll have a clear conscience in dating him. Otherwise, you won't. DEAR DAN: I just started dating this fall and I'm allowed to car date except that I can't car date when the roads are icy or snow covered. I don't think this is fair because around here our roads are icy and snow covered from about the first of November through the end of March. Do you think this is fair of my parents? My boy friend is really up in the air. -- No Car Dating. 9 DEAR NO CAR DATING: It's a fair ruling but perhaps you would have to be a parent to understand it. Regardless of where you're going, even just a few blocks, your parents believe you would be better off out of your boy friend's car during the winter and I agree with them. Respect their wishes. » DEAR DAN: We have a new boy in our senior class and most of the girls want to date him but we've heard from different people that he still has a girl friend in his former hometown. We don't know whether to believe this story or not so how can we find out for sure? -- One of the Girls. a DEAR ONE: Sit tight. If the boy wants to start dating, 4he will and if he does, you can assume the story about th» girl friend wasn't true. DEAR DAN: This is just a note to tell kids their parents usually know what's best for them. I dated a boy out o< my religion and against my parents' wishes and without their knowledge. I told myself I was smarter than they were. My boy friend and I had fun for a couple of months but then we started arguing about religion and we broke up over it. From now on I'm going to listen to my parents and only date boys who go to my church. I hope all your readers follow that advice too. ^ DEAR DAN: I'm 14 and I'm allowed to date. I've dated •..his boy several times, and I want to date him every Saturday but then when Saturday rolls around, my parents tell me to wait until next Saturday. What should I do? -- No Date. DEAR NO DATE: Wait until next Saturday, like your parents suggested. I don't know your problem but perhaps they think your're doing too much dating. DEAR DAN: We just started going steady and we have a question. When you're at a dance and a boy asks a girl who's going steady to dance, does she have to get permission of her steady? -- Only 15. * DEAR ONLY 15: Of course, you don't have to get per- "mission from your steady. The boy wanting the dance should ask you for a dance and you should excuse yourself from your boy friend's presence and that's all it takes. DEAR DAN: Sometimes my boy friend is broke when he shows up for a date and he refuses to accept a loan from me so that means we stay home. This isn't fair, is it? -- Grounded at Home. DEAR GROUNDED: No, ifs not fair but at least your boy friend has principles even if they do somewhat spoil your evening. DEAR DAN: I live near a large Air Force base and I've been asked on dates many times by boys of 18 and 19. 9 I'm nearly 18 but I'm still treated like a child and I absolutely can't date servicemen because my father says most of them are only out for what they can get from a girl. This isn't true and my father should know better because he was in the Army himself and he should know what it's like to be far away from home and lonely. How can I convince Dad he's wrong? -- No Child. DEAR NO CHILD: Your father knows he's wrong or he should know it. He should also know that one black sheep doesn't turn the entire flock black. Perhaps he was a rounder when he was in service but he should at least give the base . boys the benefit of the doubt until he finds out a particular » boy isn't right for you. There's a matter of fairness here and he should realize It. DEAR DAN: I'm writing for five of my friends, all girls. We were caught at a beer party with nine boys last month and we're being punished. Two of the boys had to go to court but they got off with just a warning and the juvenile officer told our parents they should do the punishing. I'm grounded for this first semester. I can't go to dances, movies, games or anything that isn't part of the school work day. My friends were given the same punishment because all of our parents met and talked about it. What gets me is the lack of punishment for the boys. The boys were talked to by their parents but only had to stay home one weekend. We don't think this is fair because after all, we didn't buy the beer. We did drink some but shouldn't the punishment be the same for all? -- Disgusted. DEAR DISGUSTED: If the law were involved, the punishment might be more of the same for all but each parent is handing the matter as he sees fit. Actually, you girls were more to blame than the boys. You had more to lose and you went ahead blindly just because you felt like it. I'm sorry but you'll get no sympathy from me. RUDY BECKER'S KENNELS l Mile East of the Skyline Drive-In Phone EVergreen 5-2436 STUD SERVICE ... German shori-hair pointer puppies available BOARDING .. . Training, Obedience, Hunting & Retrieving D1AB DAW: Everytime I go to our canteen one certain boy latches onto me and monopolizes my? entire evening. He's a nice enough boy but when the other guys see him hanging around me all evening, they don't come around. I'm actually going steady at these dances even though I don't want to. How can I get free of this anchor without hurting the boy's feelings? -- Peggy L. DEAR PEGGY: The direct approach may be your best bet, hurt feelings or not. However, if you can confide In another boy, telling him your problem and asking him to get the message across to the other boy, that could solve everything. Your "ambassador" need only say to the boy «»»* he's not being fair to the other guys nor to you. DEAR DAN: I just started dating this school year fH I want to know how many times a mohth a girl should go out with the same boy? -- Not Sure.' DEAR NOT SURE: The girl just beginning to date should date only once or twice a month and therefore, shouldn't date the same boy more often than that. DEAR DAN: I'm threee inches shorter than this girl I like at school. I'd like to ask her out but I have this complex that I would embarrass her. I walk as tall as I can but I'm still shorter. What should I do about this? -- Shorty. DEAR SHORTY: The difference in height isn't that great that it's a problem as far as I can see. Ask for a date. DEAR DAN: My mother bawls me out all the time when I want to go downtown on Saturday afternoon with my hair in curlers. All the girls do it and I don't see why I should be the exception. Don't the girls do it where you live? Cutie. DEAR CUTIE: The girls do it here, there and everywhere. I don't like the idea but if a girl wants to look attractive on a Saturday night, I suppose she has to work on it Saturday afternoon. DEAR DAN: When can a girl come and go as she pleases? I'm 18 and my father still tells me what time to be in. Morning Glory. DEAR MORNING GLORY: You may be of legal age but 'ong as you live at home you're expected to respect the wishes of your parents. DEAR DAN: Have you any suggestions on how I can meet a good looking fellow? This boy is the shy type. I really mean that and he's just not shy on the surface. He takes the same school bus in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon. I just can t go up to him and introduce myself on the bus because the surroundings wouldn't permit it. Nor can I just happen to drop a book in his way. Would it be too forward if, after we get off the bus together, to just strike up a conversation on the way home? The only thing wrong with this is that we would reach his house before mine and wouldn't that seem as if I were walking him home? Please think of something. -- Mixed Up. DEAR MIXED UP: For the next few days see if mental telepathy won't induce the boy to sit next to you on the bus. Otherwise, as you suggested, start up a conversation as you leave the bus. Shy or not, the boy will probably walk along with you. As for you walking him home, it wouldn't be that. Perhaps for the first time or two he may peel off and go into his house but after he thinks about it, chances are he'll walk you home. The conversation is your best bet and would be perfectly okay. DEAR DAN: I'm a senior at St. Francis high school and I'm trying to make a psychology study on teen-agers and dating. I want to ask teen-agers if they are for or against going steady or playing the field and why. If you would just print the quqestion and my address, perhaps some of your readers will write to me. Bernadette Schmidt, 705 Fourth Street Southeast, Little Falls, Minn. DEAR DAN: My father really blows his top if I'm so much as five minutes late getting in from a date. The other night this boy and I were parked in front of my house and Dad threw open the door and yelled at me to come in the house. Honestly, we hadn't been sitting there for more than 10 minutes. Are most fathers like this? My girl friends say they have the same trouble sometimes. -- Margie. DEAR MARGIE: Most fathers expect their teen-agers to be home when they're supposed to be home and if you were, there would be less blowing of tops, less throwing open of doors and less yelling. Try it and see if I'm not right. DEAR DAN: My buddy and I double-date a lot and we usually take out these two certain girls who are close friends. We're not going steady though. Usually about halfway through the evening my date and my buddy start flirting with each other and his girl and I are left out in the cold. This has happened several times and before we get into a big argument, I wish you would tell me what to do about it. -- H. O. DEAR H. O.: Maybe the flirting is unintentional and maybe it isn't. You can find out by talking to your buddy and telling him how you feel. The girl can talk to her friend. Maybe this is a case of the wrong girl dating the wrong boy but a talk can clear up a lot of your puzzlement.
