Well, at first this seemed like a crazy dating mistake. But now, with the benefit of several years of reflection, it seems like a good case for “honesty is the best policy.” In the mid-1990s, I was dating after my husband died; we had a great 24-year marriage and it was difficult to “get out there” — whatever that means — and date. I’m kind of an eccentric, quirky person, a writer and editor. One guy I went out with criticized me for not being more “conformist.” Obviously, he did not appreciate my individuality, and never would. I snapped at him, “Well, buddy, this is it. This is me. Take it or leave it.” Needless to say, he left. But, he did me a favor. Now dating again after a divorce; I’ll meet the right guy soon!
