Dear Lydia May,
I am in an extremely heart wrenching situation. There is this guy...
He's not very attractive and he could stand to lose a few.
Sometimes I see him in the library bobbing his head to the beat of Vivaldi blaring in his ear buds.
He lives with his parents and his mother picks him up from school every day.
Every time I play volleyball with him he kind of bounds toward the ball and does this strange thrusting with his hands...but he seems to miss it every time...??
The other day he called my father and said he was interested in me. What should I do?
I want to COURT...because all my friends are. And I'm scared because I'm only a sophomore and no one has called yet. What if he is my only chance?
With Yearning For Prudence And A Husband,
Maddie Fae

Dear Maddie Fae,
I understand that this is an awkward time in your life. To court or not to court is always the question in a budding, Christian woman's life.
This is my response. COURT. If a man has made his declaration in content (and not form) and has singled you out to be the companion of his future life, I would take advantage of this once (or maybe a few times for me) in a lifetime opportunity. Since his feelings will no longer be repressed and he has ardently told you how much he admires and loves you, you should therefore, COURT!!
It is the duty of a woman to bind herself to a man in matrimony as soon as possible!
I hope you take heed of my wisdom.
A Hearty Farewell My Bosom Friend,
Lydia May
