You’re right to be told off for toying with heart
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: Just for a laugh
I asked my old boyfriend from high school
out for lunch on Valentine’s Day. He lost it
on the phone and said, “A thousand times
no! You broke my heart, and I can’t afford to
be with you again, period.”
Then he hung up. Bang! That was pretty
rude, don’t you think?
— Red-Faced Ex, Fort Garry
Dear Red-Faced: It sounds like you
got a piece of truth thrown at you, and
you deserved it! You were looking for
was an ego massage from a guy who
still might be half in love with you.
You asked this ex out for kicks — a
little excitement at his expense. No
wonder he was mad! It hurts people to
be revisited by an old love who wants
to toy with their heart.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: Help! I want to
buy a Valentine’s Day gift for my sweetheart
that will satisfy her. But sadly for her, it’s
not going to be the engagement ring she
really wants!
She’s a tall woman with long elegant fin-
gers, and I know she wants a big diamond
ring, but it’s too soon for me to know if I
want to make this relationship permanent.
Plus, I will not be hustled off to her
church. Why? I’ve been down a church aisle
before and I’m already divorced from wife
No. 1.
Would diamond earrings satisfy my new
lady, or would that just make things worse?
I could buy her fancy diamond heart ear-
rings, and money is not a problem.
At least, tell me if I should warn her she’s
not getting an engagement ring or should
I just keep my mouth shut and let her find
out that night? The thing is, we’re going
to her favourite restaurant on Feb. 14 (her
idea), so she might be hoping I’m going to
ask her to marry me. No!
— Not Ready Engagement, Fort Whyte
Dear Not Ready: Look, nobody wants
to get married to someone who isn’t
100 per cent sure, and that includes
her. She knows you’ve been married
already. But this doesn’t mean jewelry
is a no-no from you.
Say something right away like, “I’m
not ready for another engagement, but
I’d love to give you a beautiful piece of
jewelry on Valentine’s Day. How would
you feel about that?” You might be dis-
appointed, or you might be relieved by
her answer. There might be nothing to
stop her from accepting a bracelet or a
pendant decorated with her birthstone,
if she likes that.
So stop guessing and have a real
discussion with your lady, ASAP.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I asked my
boyfriend what he wanted for Valentine’s
Day and he said, “A tour around your old
neighbourhood you’ve told me about —
good places and bad!”
Why would he ask for that strange thing?
Does he think I’m making stuff up? I wasn’t.
It was never a nice old neighbourhood,
and it’s worse now. I feel embarrassed, like
he was asking me to show him how bad my
former life was. What do you think?
— Upset and Curious to Know, Osborne
Village
Dear Curious: It may be this boy-
friend is genuinely interested in you
and wants to see the setting of your
past life. That doesn’t mean he’ll think
any less of you. What it may mean
is he really cares, and he’s deeply
interested in what you’ve been through
when times were difficult. Why not
give him the benefit of the doubt?
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My mother got
pregnant with me on Valentine’s night 16
years ago and I can’t tell you how many
times she’s told me that. I don’t want to
think about her in the process of getting
pregnant with my dad! Why does she do
this, and what can I say back to her, to get
her to finally stop?
— Sick of It! Birds Hill
Dear Sick of It: Don’t yell, but use
clear words: “Mom, it makes me feel
embarrassed to think about you and
dad having sex, even if it created me.
I am the wrong person to be sharing
this with, so share those memories
with dad from now on. I don’t want to
hear them again!”
She may call you “oversensitive,”
but she’ll stop. It’s possible the reason
she’s been reminding you, is because
she likes to think about it — and your
dad has already heard the old story too
often.
Suggest to mom that one of her old
girlfriends might enjoy exchanging
similar stories, rather than her daugh-
ter.
