The Daily Poo-phet: where you read about the latest ta-poos!

Dear Auntie So Shall,

Help! I have recently split up with my boyfriend of  6 years and now I am interested in someone new but I’ve been away from the dating game for so long that I have no idea what to do! This new guy asked me for my number but after I gave it to him, he never called. Do you think he is already married and that’s why he hasn’t rung? How can you tell if a guy is already married or not anyway if he isn’t wearing a ring? Or do you think maybe he just asked for my number without ever having the intention to call? My friend thinks he might’ve asked me for my number just to see if he could still pull it off but I think I value your opinion more.

I’m not really looking for a relationship at the moment, but this guy is sort of cute and I would like to get to know him better. And Auntie…if he doesn’t call by the end of this week, should I contact him again or should I just forget about him??

Newfound Freedom Grandma

Dear Grandma,

Assuming you’re a young lady full of potential and not bad-looking, why aren’t you playing the field instead of moping about for this one man? Auntie So Shall thinks that if you can email and write Auntie So Shall a letter full of pondering questions, then you should be out there drinking Cosmopolitans in a bar surrounded by handsome young men and not be wasting time with questions. Grandma, Auntie So Shall likes the nice quiet life but if Auntie was in your shoes and just got out of a six year relationship, Auntie wouldn’t be moping around alone at home or just alone, wondering why ONE man didn’t call back.

But if you really want an answer to your last question, Auntie So Shall would advise getting out of your house and calling the guy you think is cute (and other guys you think are cute) back, and just really should be enjoying your newfound freedom.

Attachingly yours,

Auntie So Shall
