Putting teeth into new relationship not easy

By Abigail Van Buren

© 1992 Universal Press Syndicate

DEAR ABBY: I met a man who is
very nice in every way, and I really
like him a lot. He dresses neatly and
keeps his hair trimmed. However,
when he smiles, he shows a tooth
missing on either side of his mouth.

He has asked me a few times if I
would go out with him, but I’ve
hesitated because I know his miss-
ing teeth would bother me. He has a
very good job and I’m sure he can
afford dental work.

Now, I know. that I am far from
perfect myself, so I don’t have the
right to tell him how the missing
teeth ruin his appearance, but I am
in my 40s and there are not a lot of
single men in my age bracket, and I
would hate to pass up a good thing.

How would you suggest I handle
this?

NEEDING AN ANSWER

DEAR NEEDING: The next
time he asks you to go out with
him, accept, and get to know him
better. Then — if you think there
could be a “spark” of mutual in-
terest — suggest that he see a
dentist and have those missing
teeth replaced, as it would make
a world of difference in his ap-
pearance.

Even if nothing comes of your
relationship, you will have done
this nice man an enormous fa-
vor.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I
went to visit his sister. We called
first and she said, “Come on over; I'd
love to see you.” She didn’t tell us
that she had a cold and a bad cough,
but after we got there, she was
coughing her head off and blowing
her nose every two minutes. Had we
known of her condition, we would
not have gone to her place.

Well, two days later, my husband
started feeling terrible — coughing
and sneezing. The next day, I came
down with the same symptoms. I
went to the doctor and paid for the
visit and medication.

Don’t you think my sister-in-law
should have told us she was ill? We
would have stayed home.

ICK AND ANGRY

DEAR SICK AND ANGRY: Yes,
she should have told you she
wasn’t feeling well and given you
the choice of whether you
wanted to risk getting whatever
it was that she had.

You learned a costly lesson.
Before you go to visit anyone
(especially this sister-in-law),
inquire about her health.

CAN’T WIN IN WASHINGTON

ee

DEAR ABBY: Approximately
three years ago, our 21-year-old
daughter married her: high school
sweetheart.

My wife and daughter made all
the wedding plans: invitations, bridal
dinner, flowers, caterers and every-
thing that must be done to have a
perfect wedding — which it was.

When the happy couple an-

d their it, we were
pleasantly surprised when the
groom’s parents offered to go 50-50
in paying for the weddi B

reluctant toremind them oftheir

promise. It would clear the air

and make for a more cordial

family relationship. i
-**

DEAR ABBY: I have a 6-year-old
daughter. She is a beautiful child.
“Angie” has long blond hair and
beautiful sky-blue eyes. She was born
with a brownish birthmark over one
eye and down her cheek. I do not
consider her. “disfigured”; in fact,
when I look at Angie, I don’t even see
the birthmark.

I find it very distressing when
people react to the birthmark instead
of to the person. Strangers will grab
Angie’s chin and turn her face, ask-
ing, “What’s wrong with your face?”
Abby, there is nothing wrong with
her face. She is beautiful, and we

of their generous offer, we went a
little overboard to make it a very
lavish affair. Happily, the wedding
was everything we wanted it to be,
and a lovely time was had by all.
Unfortunately, our son-in-law’s
parents have never stepped forward
offering to pay us their promised

_ half of the wedding expenses, which

was about $5,000.

We have seen very little of these
people since the wedding, but we do
run into them occasionally, and I
find it rather difficult to be totally
friendly.

My wife tells me to forget it and
write it offas boorish behavior. Please
advise. I can’t help feeling ...

years have passed, it may be
awkward — but it’s not unrea-
sonable to remind the in-laws of
their promise.

have ht her that God gave her
this birthmark to draw attention to
her beautiful blue eyes.

It is too bad more people can’t
look beyond the surface and see the
person within. In this day of diets
and plastic surgeries, we seem to
have lost respect for nature and re-
ality.

Never have we considered any
type of surgery to remove Angie’s
birthmark. She is not harmed by it
in any way. The harm is from well-
meaning people who want to “com-
fort” me and her. Any remarks about
surgery to “fix” her face are de-
meaning to her, and telling me that
she is not good enough the way she
is. People should realize, it’s what’s
on the inside — not the outside —
that counts. I am sure you under-
stand.

A LOVING MOTHER

DEAR MOTHER: I do under-
stand, and I know how you feel,
but Angie’s feelings must be

idered. No child tobe

mark makes her different — and

DEAR ABBY: I’m getting mar-
ried in June, and although this is not
a serious matter, I have a nagging
question that it seems only you can
answer.

The question relates to throwing
rice vs. birdseed at weddings.

I’ve heard two rumors: (1) Any
rice eaten by birds expands in their
stomachs and kills them; (2) The
first rumor was started by the
manufacturers of birdseed in order”
to promote their product.

Which rumor is true, Abby? I
would prefer to have rice thrown at
my wedding but not at the expense of
any luckless birds whomight happen
to eat it.

DONNA IN ATLANTA

DEAR DONNA: My current

bird expert, Mike C;
associate curator of birds at the
Los Angeles Zoo, just chirped me
this message: “Most birds that
eat hard seeds and grains havea

before it reaches the stomach.
“They also have very good di-
gestive sy so rice pr
no problem for them. If a bird
were to die from eating rice, it
would be a freak accident.”
