Q
Dear Auntie Pearl, how is one supposed to date nowadays?
I thought it was hard before to meet a nice guy, but now with the virus and masks and social distancing and no place to just even go drink a dop and chat with a guy, it’s basically impossible.
What’s a girl like me to do?
Online dating is not for me.
People are scared to go outside, never mind getting to know new people.
Am I just going to be alone forever?
My ma says I shouldn’t be so down in the dumps about it, there are bigger things to worry about.
What do you think, Auntie?

Yassis girl, you’re so revved and ready to go, ek sê!
But slow down meisie, you might want to catch feelings, but you’ll end up catching something else!
Unfortunately, this Covid-19 virus and the lockdown has impacted everyone’s lives, including our love lives.
And not to be the bearer of bad news hartjie, but it will continue to do so for still a while!
The important thing now is to stay strong: mentally, physically and emotionally.
Auntie knows it’s moerse tough, but remember that just giving up and sulking is not going to help at all.
Why don’t you try a bietjie online dating? It doesn’t have to be gross, you just have to do it right.
In fact, Auntie thinks online dating can be very good!
When horny mense just go out looking for a drink and a jol, it causes trouble.
And a long-term relationship will almost never start with a one-night stand.
Now, with the virus forcing us to be apart, you can properly meet a outjie online and get to know each other first.
That’s actually kwaai! The first step to long-lasting love is friendship, girl.
We’ve all had to make big changes these past couple of months, how hard can it be to try digital dating?
