many times when dating people overanalyze the other person and often breakup over small, insignificant, minor details. i know someone who almost broke up with a guy because he wasnt overly thankfull to the tollbooth attendant. So as a result people on dates act extremely nice like overly thankful to tollbooth people and pretend to be people that they arent in reality, so you dont really get a good feel for who they really are. People really just need to relax!!!!!!
I heard from someone that the “rule” is to put on a show until the 3rd date. From then on you should be yourself. I’m not sure how that works for people who get engaged after 3 dates…
Chayav,thankful and overly thankful are not the same thing.
I saw a subtle condescension of others on dates(was told it’s the unpolished yeshiva bochur thing)….it wasn’t too long before I became the subject of it….v’hamayven ya’vin.
Always be pleasant to tollbooth people, wait staff, people at the checkout counter, and yeah, EVERYBODY ELSE. Don’t be a phony on a date. Be a good person. Period. try not to over-analyze, but if someone treats people condescendingly (like he feels they are beneath him), then maybe a different shidduch would be in order.
