Then again, there have been guys I went out with whom I didn’t check out well enough and only realized what they were like afterwards. So I do hear your point, Joseph. But, I still think it’s not so practical outside of New York.
I also think that the very Yeshivish people do check things out well beforehand. That is why they only have to date a few times – since their parents already checked out the guy beforehand and already feel that he would be an appropriate person for their daughter to marry (which means that they would trust him to take her on a date).
