What is the right way to react when you get lost on a date?
Girls, what do you think of people who get lost on a date?
January 27, 2013 6:45 pm at 6:45 pm #924384☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAct calmly, and turn on the GPS.
January 27, 2013 6:48 pm at 6:48 pm #924385Torah613TorahParticipantActually, every time a boy has gotten lost on a date with me, he was already using a GPS, but a road was blocked.
January 27, 2013 6:48 pm at 6:48 pm #924386avhabenParticipantGuys test girls reaction by pretending to get lost. Girls, you need not only be on your best behavior when he gets “lost”, but if you reject a date because he got lost then you failed the test. He wants to be “rejected” if that’s how you feel. He doesn’t want to marry a picky girl who flips out when someone gets lost.
January 27, 2013 6:57 pm at 6:57 pm #924387Torah613TorahParticipantAvhaben, do you think testing someone like that on a date is ethical? I think it sounds horrible, personally.
It’s not his fault he got lost, the question is, how does he want the girl to react?
January 27, 2013 6:57 pm at 6:57 pm #924388supermeMemberI think that getting lost is a real test for both the guyt and the girl. The girl can see what the boys reaction is I.e if e goes crazy or just calmy turns around and same to the guy I.e if the girl gets annoyed or edgy. This is a test to see how the person will react in a stressful or pressured time. It’s a normal thing to get lost remember that!
January 27, 2013 7:20 pm at 7:20 pm #924389avhabenParticipanttorah613: Of course it is ethical. That is what a date is all about! You can find out more about your dating partner in one “getting lost” incident than five other dates combined.

“It’s not his fault he got lost, the question is, how does he want the girl to react?”
Brilliant question. I think he wants you to roll your eyes and say something sarcastic because that would make him feel even better.
January 27, 2013 11:07 pm at 11:07 pm #924391Torah613TorahParticipantWIY: I’ll have to try that next time.
The problem with your suggestion is that he won’t see my eye rolling since he’s looking at his GPS.

January 27, 2013 11:38 pm at 11:38 pm #924394ShiraTobalaMemberthis is true! The boy would stop going out with you…
January 27, 2013 11:44 pm at 11:44 pm #924395funnyboneParticipantI was once lost in downtown Manhattan; trying to find my way to the tunnel through the streets. The girl started getting nervous and wanted to know if we might end up in Harlem!!

January 28, 2013 3:19 am at 3:19 am #924403yytzParticipantJust wondering — is it a violation of the laws of yichud to drive alone with a date?
January 28, 2013 3:37 am at 3:37 am #924404Is it a violation of the laws of yichud to drive alone with your next door neighbor?
January 28, 2013 4:45 am at 4:45 am #924406yytzParticipantI guess it depends on who you hold by. From a summary I found:
“An important question arises whether driving in a car is considered Yichud. Rav Moshe (Teshuvot Igrot Moshe 4:65:3) rules that one should do his best to avoid driving a car alone with another woman even during the day on well-traveled roads. He reasons that although one is not secluded when driving, he can readily find a relatively private place alongside the road. Thus, since one has such easy access to sin when driving a car, Rav Moshe rues that driving alone with a woman in a car should be avoided except in case of great need. Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach appears to adopt the same approach in his Teshuvot Minchat Shlomo 1:91:21.
However, this makes dating in most circumstances quite difficult if not impossible. In fact, many Poskim disagree with Rav Moshe and rule that traveling alone in a car with another woman does not constitute Yichud unless one is driving in a very remote area or at a time when there are very few cars on the road. These authorities include Rav Mordechai Eliyahu (the former Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel who is a highly regarded Posek in many circles in Israel, cited in Techumin 10:311), Rav Aharon Lichtenstein (in a Shiur delivered to students of Yeshivat Har Etzion), and Rav Mordechai Willig (in a Shiur delivered at Yeshiva University).
