Dear Queenie,
A man I’ve been dating is very smart, has a good job and plenty of money and mostly he is very kind, but he won’t spend a penny on anyone else. He won’t even give his own mother a gift or take her out for dinner on Mothers’ Day or her birthday, never mind spending money on anyone else.
Queenie, should I remember the good things about him and stick with him or should I look for someone else?—Dating a tightwad
Dear Dating,
Being thoughtful is a good thing, but being stingy, even miserly, is another thing entirely. You can remain friends with this man as long as you do not expect too much from him, but romantically speaking, you should look elsewhere.
