Ask Amy: Pandemic’s long-term effect worries reader
I’d like to express my interest in her, but I have two issues: I’m a woman (I don’t know if she’s into women), and I don’t know anything about her own dating status.
I don’t want to mess up my morning routine by overstepping, but I’m wondering if I should do more to express my interest in her, other than smile, chit chat, and leave a 20 percent tip?

Dear Decaf: “Clara” might be receiving multiple expressions of interest from multiple sources each day.
Servers sometimes report that customer come-ons are a significant problem.
Clara has frequent exposure to you. She should be the first to express interest. She can do this in a number of ways, including the now-cliché expression of writing her number or handle on the outside of your coffee cup or on your receipt.
In the meantime, enjoy the daily dose of sunshine, without getting burned.
Dear Amy: “Hurtin’ for Certain” has arthritis and finds it very painful to shake hands. This brought me back to a wonderful moment in my life.

As we went to shake hands, he stopped me and pleaded “gently, please,” and said he had arthritis.
