Asking Eric: I dread get-togethers with friend from high school because she’s SO boring

DEAR ERIC: A couple of years ago I reconnected with a high school friend. We are in our 60s. We occasionally get together for coffee or dinner, but I find myself making excuses not to meet. This woman, I’ll call her Sue, has never married, never had children, has no grandchildren and now has retired. She reaches out incessantly asking to go shopping, see a movie, dinner.
