Harriette Cole: I should never have agreed to the father-son blind date
Briefly

The writer discusses a situation where her mother’s friend has arranged a meeting with his son, believing the writer would be a suitable match.

The advice given emphasizes the importance of expressing personal boundaries and the necessity for the son to take initiative in their potential relationship.
