Dear Erik,
About a wee ago I met a
real fine young lady. At first
I asked her out to lunch and
she very kindly turned me down.
The next time she aid yes.
When the waiter came ith the
check she started to reach into
her handbag for money. I told
her it wa my treat but she
insisted on paying her 'share'.
We have been out everal times
since then and always the same
thing happens. I started to
like her a lot then I found out
that she has pent some time
in jail or prison. I wanted her
to meet my family, now I'm
not all that sure. What do you
think I should do?

I think th t you bein

kno any of the f ct concern­
in thi itu tion. 80 did you
find out about her being in
prison? Did e tell you or .
it ju t go ip? What er the
case may be, you felt th t you
ere beginning to . e her.
You need to find out the kind of
person e no, d not
what e mayor may not h e
been in the p t. Get to kno
her nd then fonn your opinion.
There' e ery chance th t e
may not . e you. . . once e
