Miss Manners: Adoring fans must be limited to short interactions
I appeared in a local theatrical production that was well-received. One of our performances was attended by my closest friend, who brought along his lovely wife and two wonderful children.
As we sat at our table enjoying our refreshments and I was hearing their thoughts on my performance, a man approached our table and immediately began speaking to me about the production. Should I have explained that I was dining with friends and excused myself or introduced my dining companions to this gentleman ?
After he left, I apologized for the interruption. My friends seemed to take this in stride, perhaps recognizing the awkwardness and my uncertainty as to how to deal with this situation.
