dunno – “Like SJSinNYC said: improper things can happen with shidduch dating also. It seems like you have no argument for the actual meeting in public. Once two people determine they would like to continue seeing each other they go on dates no different than shidduchim – alone, and without adult supervision.”
Again, the only people that go on shidduchim dates are, by definition, serious singles looking to get married. However, the people at a wedding can be there for any reason and are not necessarily as mature as those ready to get married.
