Going Steady #4
This teen romance anthology features multiple stories exploring dating and relationships. One story shows four teenage girls daydreaming about going steady with celebrities including Sal Mineo and Fabian, describing what romantic dates with these stars would be like. Another story, "Why Can't Boys Be Men?" by Susan Schaefer, addresses girls' complaints about boys' immaturity and lack of gentlemanly behavior on dates, with examples of poor dating etiquette. "Never Again" depicts a girl's dramatic declaration that she will never go steady again after a disappointing summer relationship, though her friends doubt her resolve.
