Dear Annie: I would like your opinion on something. I am a grandmother of four wonderful grandkids and very proud of the fact. The problem comes when dealing with the other grandmother, especially when others are in the vicinity. I don’t know whether it’s because I am older than she is or what, but she always addresses me as “Gramma Mary,” as in, “Gramma Mary, what would you like to do today?”

You definitely have planted the notion of taking more risks in my mind, so I really appreciate that. However, I still have some reservations about really making my feelings clear to this guy who I’m interested in, because I’m pretty confident he doesn’t feel the same way about me. We’re acquainted and talk when we see each other, but he seems somewhat apathetic about me. I don’t think he dislikes talking to me, but I also don’t get the sense that he’s particularly into me. In this case, doesn’t it seem like a logical and reasonable conclusion to not make a move if the other person doesn’t seem interested? Should I still casually suggest getting together and make my feelings clear, or should I let things go and wait until a time when there seems to be more of a connection on both ends? Thanks!
