Dear Queenie,
I’ve been dating a man I really like but so far it’s just been an occasional date. I want to let him know how I feel, but I don’t want to say the wrong thing and mess up what we have now.
Queenie, what advice can you give me?—Tongue-tied girlfriend
Dear Girlfriend,
Take things slowly. Pay him an occasional compliment. Tell him what there is about him that you consider special – his sense of humour, the way he dresses, his good manners, the things he is interested in, etc. He will get the message.
