maidish

But, no girls love this kind of boys, girls will only feel this kind of guy is too childish, too old-maidish, not romantic at all.

只是，没有任何孩爱这样男孩，她们觉得这样男孩太幼稚，太古板，没有情趣。

Howells was, despite his faintly old-maidish quality, the most professional of writers, and the most generously sympathetic of critics.

所有这些，使豪威尔斯成为最精通本行作家和宽厚批评家，只是有点婆婆妈妈。
