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.

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-

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 ...

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.

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.

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 . a which ainda thecbiect
