At the beginning Charlie says he will use nicknames to not give away anyone's identity. Also, both at the beginning and towards the end of the book he mentions he overheard a girl at school talking about this person she wrote letters to, so he decided to investigate who this person is and starts writing the letters to him/her.

What I'm still confused about is why Charlie would emphasize on the fact that the person he's writing the letters to "did not sleep with someone's girl even if they had the chance to". What does this refer to?(less)
