Dear Abby and Neighbor Advice Letters Collide
A reader asks how to handle a suitor who sings off key at dances and suggestive questions from a neighbor to a 10 year old. Dear Abby advises kindness and keeping conversation, while a neighbor inquiry triggers caution about privacy and boundaries. A wife with five years in the U S notes gifting customs, asks if Americans should reciprocate gifts. Abby counters that cultural differences exist but friendliness remains.
