THE TRUTH ABOUT MARRIAGE

the person is like. But who can do that with any degree of correctness?

Each individual is different and the environment and life of each one differs, and our experience is after all so limited that we cannot imagine correctly anything more than the most external and conventional things.

What you need to do is to meet girls personally. Do not think that each one is necessarily an angel because she is a girl.

Study the girls you meet. Try to analyze their characters. Here are some of the things that you are to ask yourself about them:

Are they good-tempered?

Will they lose control of themselves at any little provocation?

Will they nag?

Will they be critical?

Will they be sarcastic?

Will they be blindly jealous?

Will they demand expensive attention and entertainment regardless of your financial ability?

Will they consider you and your interests and welfare and your future?

Have they any real interest in anyone else than themselves?
