H bugging up, Hold on tight, We got it for
you here. It is the Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Thanking of you. Subjects choosing between two two toothless men.
Dear Steven Shirley, I'm a forty eight year old single,
educated and professional woman that has never been married. I
have dated three guys in the last eight years and
decided to give it a rest until recently when I
(00:51):
met a very nice man that works with my aunt.
We talked a few weeks over the phone before we met.
Then he called me one day and said he'd been
in a bad car accident and his face hit his
steering wheel, so he had to have emergency oral surgery
and all he could think about was me. I rushed
over to see him, and when I got there, he
(01:11):
greeted me with a big toothless grin. His two top
front teeth and three teeth on the bottom were missing.
He is already not that handsome, but I was willing
to overlook that because we had a great vibe and
a lot in common. We went out a few more
times and I was so embarrassed by him. Then he
(01:33):
said it would be close to a year before he
could get tooth implants because there was a glitch with
his insurance. I was honest with him and said, it's
a big turn off to kiss a man without teeth.
I broke it off with him, and he still calls
to say he misses me. I miss him too, but
he still does not have his new teeth. So I
(01:54):
met another great guy, and he is slightly older than me.
On our first date, he took his false false teeth
or partials out of his mouth and put him in
a napkin. He says it rubs his gums, so he
only puts it on special occasions. Puts them in on
special occasions. I can't believe that I found yet another
(02:16):
man without teeth. The problem is I really like him too.
It seems like God wants me to be with a
toothless man, so should I choose a guy that might
get new teeth one day, or keep dating a man
that takes his teeth out whenever he wants. Please help. Okay,
first of all, the way you bring God into this,
(02:37):
God wants me to be with a toothless man. You
are forty eight years old, you're single, educated and professional.
Nowhere in that description does it say you are desperate,
and that's what you would have to be. You would
have to be desperate to continue dating these two guys.
This would be what we call settling. Okay, And you
(03:00):
don't have to settle. You do not have to do that.
Neither of these guys should even be trying to date
right now until they get their grill six. If his
teeth are rubbing against his gums, he probably needs to
go back and get them shaved down or something. Trust me,
they would not date you if you didn't have teeth
in your mouth. Okay, if some of your teeth were missing,
(03:23):
they wouldn't even look at you. Come on, these snaggletude
guys are not your only hope and they're not the
last man on earth. So just keep doing you. And
that just means please do not settle. You can do better.
And expand your horizons a little bit. Go on dating sites.
Ask your friends. I know it's been a while, but
you got to get more into it. Ask your friends
(03:45):
to hook you up, friends of friends to hook you up.
Let people know you're interested and you're single and ready
to mingle. Or if Tommy would say, ready to love?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
