"No one will ever marry me," said Paula.

"Of course someone will marry you," said her sister Joan. Paula said she wasn’t pretty. A man wants to marry a pretty woman. "I think you’re pretty. Some man will marry you. Look at Mama," said Joan. "Mama is not a pretty woman. Daddy married Mama. So, someone will marry you. Of course someone will marry you." Paula did not think so. She was 30 years old. She was not married. She didn’t have a boyfriend. Her last boyfriend was 10 years ago. She didn’t go out on dates. No man ever asked her out on a date. デートで彼女を誘った人はいません。 "I can’t even get a date," she said. 「私も日付を得ることができない」と彼女は言った。 "How can I get married if I can’t even get a date?" 「デートさえできないのにどうすれば結婚できるの？」 Joan told her to stop worrying. She would find a man when she stopped worrying about finding a man. 男を見つけることについて心配するのをやめたとき、彼女は男を見つけるでしょう。
