Dear Queenie,
I’m divorced with kids in high school. There’s this man I see all the time at our kids’ sports games and we have chatted now and then and he knows I’m not married, but it has never gone beyond that.
Queenie, I would like to get to know him better. Would it be okay for me to suggest getting together some time away from the kids’ sports field?—Dating Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
Are you absolutely certain this man is not married or in a committed relationship? He could be a stay-at-home dad, or work the night shift. Try to learn a little more about him, and if he is “available” it would be okay to suggest casually meeting up for coffee or even dinner. But if he is not interested, do not press the issue.
