Dear Queenie,
I’m in love with a waitress at a restaurant where I have lunch every day. I asked her for a date but she said she doesn’t date customers and anyway she’s too busy for dating. Finally I gave her flowers and a note asking her again for a date, but she still said “no” and then she asked her boss to seat me in another waitress’ section and she’s been avoiding me ever since.
Queenie, is it because I’m too old for her (I’m in my 40s and she’s about 20)? How can I get her interested in me?—Persistent
Dear Persistent,
It is not because you are too old for her, it is just that she does not date customers and is not interested in changing that policy for you.
Take “no” for your answer, stop pestering her, and move on. In fact, maybe you should start going to another restaurant.
