In parents home they have a video camera so they can see the front and side entrance. When one of my siblings was dating there was one guy that came a little early he standing in front of the door pacing back and forth. We were all wtching him piting the guy, hoping he would just ring the bell! well, finally he did. My sister didnt want us to answer the on the first ring, she said it will look like we were standing a watching…well we were!!!!!
My sister went on a date to a park, theyr’e walking for a while and she’s very thirsty, finally he turns to her would you like to get a drink she says yes, he take her back to the car and takes out a bottle of water from the trunk! (it wasn’t a desert there were soda machines maybe even a cafe in the park)
yeshivahman: I’ll bet your sister and her husband now joke about it! 🙂
My friend’s new husband of 2 weeks had to go out of town for the day. While eating lunch at the local Kosher Spot, he got to talking with a friendly, older guy. After a while, the man said, “I think I have a girl for you…” The Chosson replied, “OK, tell me about her… Oh, wait, I got married!” Luckily, my friend found the story funny too, and they’re still married 15+ years later! (in his defence, the husband said since he had been dating for many years, this was his “reflex”)
Mrs. Beautiful;
How about the one where the guy pulls up a few minutes early rings the bell.
While he’s waiting for them to buzz him in,
He feels he has something stuck in his teeth.
so he inches forward to the nice shiny reflective surface above the bell,
which happens to be a video camera.
He opens his mouth and proceeds to try and pick it out of his teeth
using the bell as a mirror.
meanwhile the whole family is getting a show they will never forget.
When the poor Bochur enters the house, he wonders why the father has an unnaturaly huge smile on his face. He also notices the mother has run off to the kitchen in a fit laughter. After getting red in the face the father explains in between giggles that one of the kids just made a good joke. He calm down.
Then the girl enters the room, the Bocher smiles, when the girl sees his teeth for the second time today, she erupts in hysterical laughter, which causes the father to burst out laughing and the mother in the kitchen to joins in all over again.
It took a while for them to calm down,and after apologizing profusley to this bocher who is beet red & sweating nervously, they send then off.
To make a long story short, this bocher took her out for a very brief time.
droped her off & told the shadchan, NOO, to a second date.
my dad went on a date w a girl on a rollercoaster in hershey. she threw up. it was a disaster. no, they did not get married.
bein_hasdorim, oh my that story must have been so so humiliating!!!!!!! Especially not knowing why everyone was laughing. Truth is, I am surprised that adults couldnt control themselves. Their behavior sounds a bit immature.
But it is a very funny. Beware of video cameras!!! Most pple in NY have them nowadays!!! And the camera look like mirrors!!!
Bein Hasadorim LOL

See, its no joke, as you can see from the girls vs boys form (yes, I know its hypothetical, but it is grounded in truth). It takes 100 times more work for a girl to be someone outstanding, while a boy just has to be able to fog a mirror. (That is, until he applies for a job in the real world)
i have this friend who was a baal teshuva. He went on a date with this girl in yerushalayim, and they went for a walk by the midrechov (no cars). The boy accidently stepped on this guy and the guy starts yelling at the poor boy and pushing him around.The boy knew karate from his earlier days, so he turns to the girl and asks her can you hold my hat please?” and proceeds to polish up some old karate moves. they ended up getting married.
sms007, I would be scared of such a boy!
Poster, I think a guy like that would be great. I know he’d be able to protect me if I ever needed it. I don’t know if you ever learned any martial arts, but part of the training is learning the appropriate way to use it (primarily self-defense).
A girl while in the bathroom on a date managed (don’t ask) to get her shoe stuck in the toilet she had to borrow the guys spare rubbers-that’s not the end of the story she later on got engaged to a different guy and they were exchanging funny shidduch stories that happened to their friends when the choson proceeds to tell her this hysterical story that happened to his friend while on a date the girl got her shoe stuck in the toilet…
DramaQueen: i heard the same story…but that they got married!
A boy was taking a girl on a date, driving in an out of NY area location, and he was ticketed for a moving violation. In that area, such a violation lands you in the local village prison for a while. Well, the boy and girl had plenty of time to get acquainted in the village prison for a number of hours, which concluded with their mutual feelings that they were meant for each other. They got engaged. Wonder whether the arresting cop received shadchanus gelt!?!
my husband asked me on our 7th date (as he was instructed by his rebbe ) how i felt about ‘us’ and in doing so was hoping to move me along in the relationship. There was absolutely no intent to be getting engaged, we had only dated for 2 weeks.
to his surprise i was completely responsive and by the end of the night we were unofficially engaged. When we called his Rebbi (the Shadchan) after the date to tell him that we were engaged, his Rebbi was Shocked! (although this wasn’t part of the plan, it definately was well recieved)
3 months later, after our wedding, we realized that we had gotten engaged completely by accident.
i thought he was talking about ‘us’ getting engaged and married and he was just gently trying to broach the subject…(not trying to freak me out that he was really ready to get engaged). he was so happy that he didnt have to sweat his brains out to move our relationship along bc everything was going to smoothly 😉 little did i know he wasnt asking me to marry him, but he was sure happy when we parted that date basically engaged!
Ok funny story, guy driving home from yeshivah passes two girls stuck with a flat tire, pulls over to help, strikes up a conversation with one of them, ends up knowing a relative, she sends a thank you gift, he calls back to thank her,
they end up schmoozing, meet for coffee, have it redt by aunt, they go out,
they end up getting…………..hold on…….it’s still pending. 😉
I used to work with a single girl who was also in the parsha. Against my better judgment we became friendly and occasionally we would text each other. I realized I kinda liked her but we were past the shadchan stage so I would have to ask her out myself. I was all prepared to ask her out the next day when she texts me the question “do you like me,?” Im shocked by her bluntness and forthrightness so I try to dodge the question to no avail but eventually I say yes. She replies that it wasn’t such a tough question and we say goodnight.
The next day I figured she would be different at work. Either very excited to see me or extremely awkward, but she was neither. I’m quite perplexed so I figure I just have to ask her after work how she feels.
I ask her and she is absolutely stunned that I am asking her. Now I’m even more confused so I remind her that she asked me if I liked her last night.
Now she’s confused, she has no memory of asking me any such question.
So you probably are thinking her friend or sibling was using her phone- NOPE.
Turns out she was taking medication for insomnia. Some of the side effects of her medication were hallucinations and amnesia. She was basically hallucinating when she originally asked me if I liked her and she had total amnesia about the incident.
We went out 1 time and unfortunately I’m still single but Baruch Hashem it didnt work out with her.
This reminds me of a real embarrassing story that happened to me, though not on a date. We have a girl in our office that is not frum – We will call her Sara. Right near me sits a Lubavitch girl that is eavily involved in Kiruv. SO I wanted to instant message the Lubavitch girl about Sara. Accidently since I was thinking about sara, I clicked sara’s name and started to send a message.
I wrote – Is sara jewish
Sara – yes.
me – so why dont you get to work.
Sara – what do you mean
me – you know what to do, your work
sara – why are you talking in riddles
me- about becoming frum
Then Sara truned away from her computer to look at me, she asked me outright, I dont understand what you are trying to say.
By that time I realized my mistake and I was mortified. I quickly tried to cover up and was happy that I didnt write anything more straight out. SInce then I made it my business to be extra nice to sara. Until she commited a terrible crime and was asked to leave the office. I dont know what she is up to today. But I am very very careful when I text message, instant message or send an e-mail. I am sort of parinoid.
bein hasdorim –
That story is no longer pending. They are either engaged by now, or have moved on to newer pastures (too bad we don’t know which, but either way the story is cold)
Too bad, it was a doozy!
was this one already posted?:
there was a really fat boy and whenever he went out and the father offered him a piece of cake he always said, “yes” and the shidduch never went through. every time the shadchan begged him not to eat anything but to no avail. then one night the shadchan pleaded and pleaded and he said, “okay. i wont eat anything” that night he stuffed his face full. the shadchan was horrified “i thought you said you wouldnt eat anything” to which he replied”i already decided the girl wasn’t for me might as well get the free food”
im thin as a rail and i love cake. how come no one ever offers me any on dates?
” the shadchan was horrified “i thought you said you wouldnt eat anything” to which he replied”i already decided the girl wasn’t for me might as well get the free food”
And THAT, in a nutshell, is why this bochur isn’t married yet (yeah, yeah, I know the story is probably fiction).
In israel it is tpyical for the girl and boy and meet to meet somewhere. Many boys and girls are in dorm situations so it is supposed to be simpler.
I was very nervous that I wouldn’t find him but with some encouragement from the shadchan and simanom [standing by a certain door, black hat, glasses, dark hair, etc..] I went to the hotel. To cut a long story short, someone was standing by the door waiting for me and when I said are you Moshe he nodded his head so we went to sit down. After about 1/2 hour of noticing that he seemed really different than I was told, we both realized that we were with the wrong person. We looked across the lobby to see a bored bachur standing by the door and a girl sitting on the coach. [ I guess they were smart enough to ask last names as well.]
Well, that IS a funny shidduch story, so you certainly found the right thread.
What would have made it even funnier is if you would’ve married that guy!
Speaktruth, what happened to you is not such an out of this world occurance. My cousin from Israel had been dating for a while when she told me about a similar story she witnessed when on a date in a hotel lobby. She must’ve been sitting a bit past the entrance, because first she see’s one couple getting a drink and then sitting down. A while later she noticed a second couple get a drink from the bar and then go sit down at another end of the lobby. About 15 minutes later (she must’ve been really bored with her date if she noticed all this…)the second couple walked over to the first and redfaced switched off dating “partners”…
It always seems like a story you hear in the books but one that I never would have thought would happen to me.. In the fairy tales, you always end up liking the wrong person but I don’t think that happened with either of us although I got a good laugh.
I dont remember where I read the story but there was a couple that met in a lobby checked first names….Had a great date she calls the shadchan and says I want to go out again but the shadchan said he said you didn’t show and they realize wrong guy…She tries to find the guy and cant has several dates with other guys always comparing them to the phantom and turning them down.
A couple of years go by she gets redd a sfardi but doesnt want to go out, after weeks of being badgered she gives in and it’s that guy and they get engaged.
There were two identical boys who had a date the same night. They decided that they would go to the same place with two floors and made up a time to meet in one of the bathrooms, and switch themselves and their cars and keys and see if any of the girls would realize. They did this and only one girl realized. One of the twins got engaged to the girl that realized.
realtalk: Did she marry the first twin she dated, or the switcheroo?
There is the story about the girl marrying her seminary teacher. Why the seminary ahd a single guy teaching single girls, I do not know! But it was the last one.
Another story is the one where the guy tips a bookcase over on a girl in a judaica store in Yerushalyim and she decided she liked him and told her parents she found her chassan.
dunno. and the story about the guy who toppled a bookshelf on a girl happened to my friend’s aunt and uncle and did not realize that it was already posted.
arc: it’s from people speak but it’s from the guys point of view
a very shy buchur on the 3rd date he decided to pick up the courage to ask his date if she would marry him. so he nervously asked to his date ” can i ask you a question?” to which the date shot back “sure you can ask but it does not mean your going to get an answer”
Volvie from page before: I dunno because I heard it from a friend who knew the twins and I did not ask because I do not really care.
A guy and girl were having a sit-in. The host had put out cake and fruit. Both were 1st timers and the conversation was not going well. As it got more awkward the girl asked the guy if he wanted to eat something. He took an orange and started to peel it. During the peeling it squirted and hit the girl. To save face, he joke, “Oh I thought I would share some with you.” No they did not marry.
realtalk, that is cute of him….
I didn’t know my wife’s first name until half way through our 3rd date. (She was always red to me as the girl XXXX)
Another time I was driving on a highway and dragging another car when we hit 190 she said if we get married I dont think our kids will be allowed to travel with you. So I slowed down. a few minutes later we passed the other car being booked.
Once we went to a hotel and saw another couple we split and met around the other side of the lobby the other couple got engaged 2 weeks after us. The same night we came out of the lift and there were about 100 bnei people who all knew my date(now wife)and again that night we got surprised.
One friday night we went for a date down by the beach, and I had forgotten that I had sent 45 kids there on a shabbaton about 3 kms away. They claimed they saw me at about 3am but it was definitely another couple cause I was home by 1.
But the best is that when she was red to me I said no way. And she said no thanks. I only ever went out with 1 girl and here we are 12+ years later…
dunno, I never read that book and the story was definately girls POV. I guess it got around.
on a date with a guy from out of town, he crossed the double yellow line by a busy intersection on the way to manhattan. I was horrified and terrified! I cleared my throat and quietly said “i believe we just crossed the double yellow lines!” At that moment a cop pulled us over. I was so scared! I felt so bad for the guy! He couldnt find the registration as he rented the car..the cop told him to check the glove compartment. He tried to get out of it by saying to the officer “i’m on a date and trying to make a good impression!” i dont remember exactly what happened next but a short time later teh cop came back and we left.
em es; That happened to me too. It was a daytime date, I unknowingly made a right
turn onto an ave that was illegal during those hours. a cop spotted me & signals me
to pull over. I did & told him “officer i’m so sorry, I didnt realize, I’m on a date etc..” The girl was cool and started backing me up, with the cop & telling him to please not ticket me. B”H he said “ok be careful & have a nice time!”
She really earned her museum addmission, & lunch in NYC. 😉
