A young girl, who has known her best friend for five years, is unsure if she wants to date her new boyfriend, but he keeps asking to hang out. She has told him to wait until college for a formal relationship, while he can still date other people. The girl's relationship with the boy is not as solid as their other relationships, but it seems that they already have a solid friendship. The future of the relationship with these two will depend on their ability to adapt to the changing nature of the social and economic environment in modern society. The author suggests that while it's uncertain how to help these young adults navigate their lives, the author acknowledges that every generation must find its own way.
