Sexy senior singleton seeks same

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

My main suggestion is that you should embrace your smart and quirky side and become a joiner.

Homeschooling may have prevented you from having some important social opportunities -- those friendship-building experiences that most high-schoolers are exposed to.

Get involved in theater. Join your local high school's theater program as one of your extracurricular activities. Research theater programs and camps for this summer.

At your age, romance often blooms from friendship. Putting on a show is a wonderful team-building, friendship-making and potentially romance-blooming experience.

Dear Amy: "Just a Grandma" was upset because younger family members posted their important news on social media before notifying family members.

She has described to a 'T' why I have rejected social media. Tell these morons to log off their "virtual life" and get an actual life.

 

-- IRL

Dear IRL: To me, renouncing social media altogether seems like my Victorian grandparents refusing to use the telephone.

It is a tool. Everything depends on how you use it.
