The “best date ever”, by definition, must only be with the person you marry.
Why? If you have a terrific date and, for whatever reason, something unrelated to the date causes the match not to happen, how does that retroactively make the date any less wonderful than it was?
In any event, for me, the answer is every date that I go on with Eeees. I’m always looking forward to the next one.
One of my best dates was going to a place the guy had in mind but for whatever reason we were only able to stay for about 45 minutes. We decided to drive around and pop into a random hotel to check it out. It ended up being lots of fun because not everything was so rigid and planned.
The best date ever does not have to be with the guy you will marry for a few reasons. You can have a few dates that are incredible and then it can be over! Wether your parents say no, people get involved that don’t like him…so no. I disagree with your post. Even though it really should be that way!
when the shadchen calls up the parents with a suggestion the parents do a lot of research on the boy/girl suggested.After checking out dor yeshurim and asking the rabbi for a bracha the parents of the boy meet the girl and the girl’s parents meet the boy.If the parents feel ok with it,the boy goes to the girls city and they meet in a hotel and shmooze (the parents waiting outside the room)after about an hour the boy and girl discuss it with their parents and mazel tov!!
