Dear Queenie,
My niece is only 18 years old and she is dating a man who is over 30.
Queenie, I don’t want to vex her, but how can I make her understand that he is so much too old for her?—Worried aunt
Dear Aunt,
Telling your niece this man is too old for her would imply that she is too young to be dating him, and she would not like to hear that. Just tell her you think she would be better off with someone closer to her own age.
