At the age where “going out with someone” was simply to display a willingness to be around someone of the opposite sex, it was common to formally request a relationship with a slip of paper.

<table width=“60%” border=“2” cellpadding=“5”><tr><td>Will you go out with me?

[ ] Yes

[ ] No

[ ] Maybe</td></tr></table>

One of the tickboxes was filled in, and then sent back to the recipient. It’s difficult to say whether No (rejection) or Maybe (pity) was the worst result, which is probably why the girls saw fit to add the fourth response,

[ ] stay away from me, you creepy fucking rapist
