Ask Amy: Toxic family leaves a mark
-- No Thanks
Dear No Thanks: It is fairly easy to say, "No thank you." But if you truly want to repel these interested men, you could tell them the truth: "No offense, but I'm a racist."
They should leave you alone after that.
Dear Amy: Thank you for your response to "Shy in Boston," the shy guy who was wondering how to possibly meet a nice woman in the supermarket.
It may sound like a cliché, but this is how I met my husband! He somewhat shyly asked me for advice about produce.
The rest is history. We're celebrating 15 years of marriage this year.
-- Happily Together
Dear Together: "I need a price check for happily-ever-after on Aisle One!"
