Recently I was discarged by the, Navy and have a fairly well paid job and a good car; but I know absolutely no one in this town, as my folks moved here while I was in the service.

Afraid of the un- known, I guess. I can't remember when I've even spoken to a girl. 1 figure it is about time I started growing up, though, so what do you suggest? T. C. Dear T. C.: Your story shows that your problem of social isola- tion is pretty deep rooted and goes back a long way. Itedidn't begin with finding yourself in a new town where you don't know a soul of girl-shyness; of having no girl as yet. Nor is it simply a problem friends and of never having dated, danced, held hands, etc. Back in the year when you felt you couldn't - afford dates, and were always' wandering around-- "always alone'--exploring places, hunting, fishing, boating, ete:. you had this problem of social isola- tion. But you hadn't wakened to it then; and though you probably yearned for close friends and true companionship, no doubt you ex- pected that time would bring these blessings to you eventually. It hadn't occurred to you, then, that early circumstances (beyond your control) had thrown you off stride in your pursuit of the good life. And that you'd have to find | your own way back to normaley. | In your teens you were avoiding | social interchange partly for lac of money, maybe: but more due to ingrained feelings of shame about yourself and-or your family. | As if you felt you weren't worthy of friendly acceptance, and 'Jould| be the butt of contempt, rejection, scorn, etc., if known close-up by nice people. | Very likely you are by nature a shy sort of fellow at best, not cut out to be the hearty back- | slapping extrovert. Thus, early dis- ppointments throw you. Later, a term of dancing les- sons, enrollment in adult educa- tion courses, church-going with ac- tive support of church social events, membership in a prayer group, etc., will lead to dates, on a basis of common interests.
