Dear Queenie,
There’s this boy I’ve known since we were small because our mothers are best friends. We are friends, but just friends, nothing romantic. In fact, I have a boyfriend and we are thinking about getting engaged
The problem is that his mother thinks I am just perfect for him and keeps trying to get us together as more than friends. She even has said she would love to see us get married.
Queenie, how do I get her to lay off this subject without being rude?—Not interested that way
Dear Not interested,
Your friend’s mother is paying you a tremendous compli ment, so thank her for it and tell her you think she would be a great mother-in-law, but sorry, you are otherwise “engaged.”
