Dear Queenie,
I met a wonderful guy in one of my classes at university, but I’m afraid my parents won’t like him because he’s a lot older than me and divorced and has a school-age daughter from his marriage.
Queenie, how do I get my parents to understand that this is the man for me?—Co-ed in love
Dear Co-ed,
When you talk to your parents mention this wonderful guy to them, gradually tell them more and more about him, and eventually arrange for them to meet him in person. After that it will be up to your wonderful guy to persuade your parents to accept him as the man for you.
Meanwhile, you also should be getting to know him better and better. If he really is the man for you, your relationship with him will only become stronger over time.
