I ONCE tried to get a man back when a romance blew up. And of all the tricky problems to handle, this is one that is potentially loaded with dynamite-for the future.
Of course, this happened when I was in high school. I had fallen for the campus idol, the most indemand man at school. I can still remember how very breezy I felt when he asked me for the first date.
But then came the break-up-and all because a boy with whom I had gone out before came by to see me. My campus idol happened to see him come to the house and got mad. I wanted to explain the situation and try to get him back, but I knew I had to be very cagey.
Since I had never believed in calling a man, I made no attempt to reach him by phone. Instead, I made it a point to be where I knew he would be. Yet, I wasn't obvious about it because any man hates to feel he's being chased. I tried to be quite normal. I, at the same time, dressed as well as I could and was as attractive as possible.
I finally did meet him. I explained that I hadn't invited the boy over and that I was sorry he had misunderstood. By this time he had mellowed sufficiently to be able to listen to me logically, and we started going together again.
This was my one and only experience in trying to get a man back, but it did teach me a lot. Not that I'm there- fore setting myself up as a final authority on the subject. I'm certainly not. My business is being an actress in such pictures as "Prince Valiant." I am consequently merely stating what my beliefs are on the subject-and if they happen to be applicable-well, that's fine.
When I wanted to get this man back I made one mis- take I didn't ask myself if it was right for us to be together again or not. I wasn't thinking of much else except that I wanted to go out with him again. If this had happened to me later, I'm sure I would have asked myself a lot more questions before making any move. And I think these questions are ones any girl should ask before setting out to win back any man.
