americaisover:
two points
1. a shadchans job is NOT to get them engaged. No one can really believe that is in the hands of a shadchan. What a shadcahn can do is to suggest and arrange an appropriate match. (3/4 dates certainly qualifies for that).
2. When was the last time you saw a contractor harrased at a wedding , called at 1 am, called sat night, etc etc. to come run over just for a second and give me a estimate.
I challenge anyone who is a close friend to any semi busy shadchan to tell inform the CR that from their experience what I am writing is not true..
