Romance Advice for Frustrated Debutantes
Another season has come and gone. Plenty of respectable debutantes are still without husbands on the end of their first - or perhaps even second or third - seasons. What went wrong? Taking a look at common behaviors that one might need to reconsider and behaviors that one should adopt instead could lead to a brighter future for the hopeful and frustrated debutante.

Too much of a good thing. It is easy to one to put oneself in center stage for the whole of society to see, but being constantly present at every event can do more harm than good. Men—even ones who you haven't met yet—might become to used to the sight of you that they don't even consider speaking to you. Instead, reduce the amount of events your attend and only attend the ones whose target audiences suit your needs/
"Demure" and "shy" are not the same thing. On the flipside, being unsociable is unlikely to find you a husband. While many etiquette books will tell a woman to act demure, those with more introverted personalities need ignore that advice altogether. It is more aimed at the women who suffer from oversharing and overexcitement—not those who can barely get a word in to being with. The easiest first step? Try smiling at a man as he catches your eye, and do your best not to avert your gaze.
Lower your expectations. Especially if they are visible to those around you. That does not mean you need to marry a man that does not suit you and your family's wishes, but if carry with you the air of a woman who only expects the best, a humble and good-natured man might think he does not meet your criteria even if it does.
Stop playing hard-to-get. Yes, men love a challenge, but that's a game to play when you're a fresh-faced debutante on your first season. If you've endured two or more, it's time to stop and consider how hard you really wish to be to get.
