DEAR ABBY: Eighteen years ago, I married a man so he could get health insurance and have back surgery.
I’m a 65-year-old female who has been divorced 15 years. I have no interest in dating. During the last couple of years, I have focused on my health, concentrating on diet and exercise, and I have lost 50 pounds.
Before I lost the weight, men seldom noticed me, which was fine with me. Lately, men have been looking at me, smiling and even flirting. Although this is a confidence booster, I don’t want to lead anyone on. I know it may seem weird, but I’m afraid if someone asks me out, my facial expression and response might not be cordial. I don’t want to insult anyone. I believe if I memorize one or two polite, tactful responses I’ll be ready for the moment.
How can I be less critical of her choices, and how do I respond tactfully when she asks me for my impressions of her boyfriends? — TRYING TO CHANGETell your daughter she doesn’t need your endorsement, and that if any of her suitors make her happy, you are happy for her. Then bite your tongue. — Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
