De r Erik,
Than you for giving me
the chance to express my If
and to tell someone about my
problems. I have no one to talk
with at home because everyone
. very busy with their own
live. You e my family is very
ry religious. And they do lot
of missionary work for the
church. That means almost no
time for m. I am alrno 19
year old and I have been eing
young man of the same age.
e care bout each other very
much and we have been spend
ing a lot of time together.
The big problem i that he is
white and I am Black. y
parents will just hit the roof if
they ever find out. He ay his
paren don't mind the f ct that
I am Black woman, yet I have
never been invited to their home
nor h ve I ever met them. I
think that my 'boy friend'
doesn't want to hurt my feelings
so he h lied about hi .family's
true feelings about me. I don't
like to keep secrets like this.
·What hould I do?
Thank you
R.P.

Dear Erik,
It seems to me that I have
been se rching for so long for
the 'right' man and I still have
not found him. I am almo 30
years old and I have never been
married and God knows that I
want to be married to orne
man. . . any man. I feel so bad
when I ee all my girl friends
and-their husbands and familie .
I have gone out with 0 many
kind of men and yet none of
them were interested in getting
married or having a family. I
have even written letters to
pen-pals. I am a nice looking
woman and I am a nurse. With
all of this I still can't get a man
on a permanen t basis. Whats
wrong with me?
Single Woman in,
Chicago Heights, Ill.
Dear 'Single Woman',
You reaDy can't expect to
fmel t right man if you don't
know what you are looking for.
And to kno that you m t
Imo more bout youneil. -But
you must be hon with your-
H in knowing hat you are,
who you really are and hat
you really ant. For the type
of If-examin tion it . be
done w n your intellect ] in
control. Don't alIo your
emotio to get involve. In
matte of love there wiD al y
be a multitude of f ton beyond
your control. So don't ever
alIo yourself to g into a
dep tate of mi d bee
of temporary failure to get a
potential hu band. It ] n't a
question of what i rong ith
you but what i right with you
and workin with that.
Sincerely
Erik W ington
