My daughter's friend from high school and college, "Laura," is getting married this summer. My daughter is in the wedding party. Laura has been with her fiance since high school. They are a great couple. While I was in Indianapolis on business last week, I clearly saw Laura walking hand-in-hand with an unknown man. They stopped to kiss one another along the way. I believe that she is having an affair with this man in the big city. Should I tell my daughter, tell anyone else — or bite my lip and go to the wedding in June, feeling like a fraud? Please don't tell me that I didn't see what I saw, because there was no mistaking what I saw. —Upset DEAR UPSET » Because this bothers you so much, you could contact "Laura" directly. Tell her what you saw, and share your reac- tion — if you must. There is no reason to tell your daughter or any- one else about this. There are a number of reasons why a bride-to-be might get together with another man before the wedding. This might not be an ongoing affair, but the end of a relationship. You simply don't know. If Laura is having an affair and gets married, then she — not you — should feel like a fraud at her wedding. DEAR AMY » I'm a high school student who just finished my first phone interview. The scout was one of my dad's patients. I think I did well, except for one question. The interviewer asked me a basic math question. I froze, used my calculator, and took way too long to answer the question. I know it seems like not that big of a deal, but I'm so embarrassed! I'm worried she'll think I'm an idiot; this reflects badly on my dad. I'm worried I'll be put last on the list for the job! What should I do? I don't have an email. — Unsure DEAR UNSURE » It is very easy to get an email. You can look up the person and her company name, call the company's main number, or ask your father to help. You should eit her email her or write a hand- written note, thanking her for the interview. Even if you don't dis- cuss your math question, you MUST thank her in writing for the interview. Simply say, "I'm wor- ried that I blew the math question, but to be honest I was nervous and I froze! Thank you again for giv- ing me the experience of interviewing; I'm sorry I was so nervous. I hope that won't happen again." Most people have this experience, and it does not reflect badly on you or your father. If you explain it well, it might even be to your advan- tage, because the woman who interviewed you would think — "Wow, this student is honest. It's re- freshing to have someone just admit their mistake."
