Why do you think singles date for so long? Is it possible, chas ve’shalom, that every single person they ever went out with was a terrible person with severe character flaws, who no one in their right mind would want to marry? “
No, they don’t have to have character flaws, but they may be dull in personality, hard to get to engage in a conversation, have no sense of humor, and be clueless as to how to act on a date in other ways. My daughters went out with ALL those guys, often more than once, just to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe they were nervous on the date, but their original impression was usually the correct one. And lastly, maybe there just is no chemistry whatsoever. No one says someone has to be a movie star in looks, and even really objectively attractive men and women can be unpleasant dates, but there has to be SOME sense of attraction.
