(He) informed me that he was going to ask me several political questions, and that if our political opinions didn’t match, there would be no second date.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: After chatting online with a man for several days, we agreed to meet for coffee. Within a few minutes of meeting face-to-face, this man informed me that he was going to ask me several political questions, and that if our political opinions didn’t match, there would be no second date.
GENTLE READER: No; it did the trick, which was to rid you of an unpleasant interrogator who hadn’t decided whether you were worth getting to know. DEAR MISS MANNERS: Our son is getting married soon, and there won’t be a rehearsal dinner for my spouse and me to host. My spouse says no to hosting something, but I’m concerned that some might expect at least a dinner. Frankly, we can afford it. Any advice to avoid misunderstandings?
That is not to say that you must plan all sorts of auxiliary events to occupy them. Miss Manners disagrees with the notion that a proper wedding includes a prewedding softball game and a post-wedding sightseeing tour. But as you can afford to have a meal with them, that would be a gracious thing to do.DEAR MISS MANNERS: On his birthday, a colleague posted “Happy birthday to me” on social media, along with multiple pictures of himself.
