John B. Keane gives advice on courtship.
Listowel writer John B. Keane responds to a letter from a girl who has been going out with someone for 14 years and has never been kissed. As for her sister, she's been going out with someone for 9 years and all she has to show for it is a bag of chips every Sunday night. But Keane says these girls are to blame. They should leave these men and
get married to fellas who want to get married.
People should
marry first and worry later.
They shouldn't wait for perfect circumstances, because they won't come.
