Dear Queenie,
My wife died recently and I am still in mourning.
Queenie, I am dealing with my grief, but how do I deal with friends and family who try to fix me up with a date or women who try to flirt with me? I know the time will come when I’m ready for all this, but not yet.—Eligible widower
Dear Widower,
Tell them what you told me – that you are not ready yet for all that.
And when the time comes that you are ready, be sure to let the “fixer-uppers” know.
