DEAR ABBY: I am an older woman who has been dating a very nice man for approximately seven months. I'm fashionable and take pride in my appearance. While my friend is clean and neat, he wears a baseball cap with all of his clothes -- even his dress suits. I bought him a nice cap once and he was offended, so I returned it to the store.
Since he is good in so many ways, should I ignore this one quirk? I'd love to see him without the baseball cap when we go out. -- FASHIONABLE IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR FASHIONABLE: Have you tried asking him WHY he does this? Your friend may wear baseball caps with every outfit because he's bald or has thinning hair and is self-conscious about it. (Many men are.) If this gentleman has only one quirk that bothers you, you might be wise to consider that his attire is a reflection only on himself and not you.
