    I don’t really have info to give you and not sure how old you are but is staff at GirlZone something for you? I know some people who went and loved it. (If you don’t want a bunk, you can probably do an activity.)

    Btw, isn’t it a litte early for camp?

    YT:

    Firstly, I’m very happy to hear you were able to get to shul. It should be a sign of good things to come. Second, a few weeks ago you started a thread “serious question” which I made a very insensitive comment on. Please be mochel me.

    May this year bring all of Klal Yisroel Yeshuos and Simcha/s in every area.

    What are “complex carbohydrates”?

    Complex carbs is whole grains, veggies, beans. Simple carbs is anything refined (white flour, sugar). They take longer to digest which means they’ll keep you fuller for a longer time.

    I did three hours.

    I was also thinking that because it was a fast it was a little harder but it probably was the best time to do it. Its the only time in AY”T that isn’t a regular work day.

    I agree with cshapiro. But its best to tell her, at some point she’ll find out.

    Some diamonds are “treated” to remove the imperfections. I think those are not as expensive. Maybe something like that is an option.

    Like I said – saying s/o has Good Middos to me is fluff. If another person says this person goes to the nursing home everyday and feeds the people whom can’t feed themselves, this IMO is a description of Good Middos!

    I can definitely understand that. But there are some people that are just best described as being a mentch. Its hard to formulate an opinion and get an idea of what they’re like based on that but sometimes its the best way to describe them.

    Everything is relative. Saying she dresses nicely, her clothing is Tznius etc is all dependent on the level of the person giving the info.

    If it gets to the stage of a date, then usually you can tell pretty quickly what her middos are like.

    IMO, flowers are given closer to an engagement. If you would like to do something (not sure what your budget is), maybe theres a Sefer/book on Rosh Hashana that you can get. A lot depends on her “type”.

    I personally think the term “great girl” is fluff and now you are defining it with more fluff!

    To someone looking into someone, its fluff, but how many ways are there to describe good middos?

    I would define great girl to mean that she has good middos, good hashkafos, acts like a mentch, pleasant to be around/talk to etc.

    As other posters mentioned, a lot depends on who its coming from. To some people, a great girl may be referring to her fathers bank account.

    Did she want to go out again?

    I’m voting for a second date. I think the two date thing was made for a situation like this. Could it be that she really was nervous for whatever reason and she came off as different than she actually is? IMO sometimes people make up their mind if its for them before they even meet, I don’t know that that happened here, just tossing it out there.

    My NYS license mentions nothing about weight (not counting the picture). I don’t get why they would do that, since weight can change. Even eye color doesn’t mean anything anymore since colored lenses came out.

    This is something I saw a long time ago, I’m not sure who said it, but it stuck with me. On Rosh Hashana we ask for a sweet year, not just good. Why? Everything Hashem does is good, nut we ask that it also be sweet.

    This one is mine, its a little (ok, a lot) crazy. Ya gotta do something while you’re washing dishes.

    A dish starts out white. If you put something greasy or saucy on it, it’ll get dirty. To anyone looking at it, its a dirty dish. But the dish is actually white. It never changes to purple or black or any other color, it only has a layer on top that makes the whole thing look dirty. Underneath that layer, the dish is as bright and white as it ever was. Even though a Neshama can look dirty, it never actually is. Its only the surface that is. Underneath it has the same greatness it always had.
