Chapter 10
Page 73 Paragraph 1
Quote:
"I was half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls. Jesus Christ. They can drive you crazy. They really can."

Girls will always be a mystery to guys because we are so unpredictable, but Holden doesn't seem to have that problem right now, right now he has the problem of falling in love with them. I don't think he falls in love with them, I just think that he likes the thought that the girl might lay him. Holden is a regular American teenager. His mind is not always focused on the right things that it should be. Girls are not going to lay a guy though that is crazy, and is giving them a freaky eye thing. I at least wouldn't, I'd get the heck out of there.
