“Any further questions you honor?” I assume that was directed to me. Actually, I do have more questions.
WHO makes this payment (sorry, who is responsible to show hakaras hatov) to the shadchan? (I dont want to assume the girl, but I think I read that in a response of yours).
What if one side says great idea, lets go on a 2nd date while the other says no way. Was it a good idea? Does the agreeable party make this payment? Why or why not?
The compensation after dates 2/4 etc… does it count towards the shadchanus in the event the shidduch is successful, or is that a separate account?
