oomis – that reminds me of a funny story. A rav once told me “the best shadchan is Brooklyn college” and explained with the following story: a young couple came to speak with him. The girl was chabbad and boy skver (could be the opposite, may have mixed it up). He openly asked them – like hello? how in the world did this shidduch become? they answered – brooklyn college. Now obviously i don’t think your typical skvere chassid is in Brooklyn college, and it is hashgacha and all, but i would never ever ever encourage such a way of dating. Aside from the tznius aspect, what do you know about them? do you really know about their families, if the parents have shalom bayis, any health issues… i don’t know, some traumas that people experience don’t come out until later in life, after marriage. I would really be scared. Glad it worked for you though.
