I wear fancy suits on Shabbos, never a robe.

(Because I don’t own one. :))

i want to speak only Ivris on Shabbos when I have my own home.

Not allowed? Mesh`ane makom meshane mazal, maybe go to other shadchanim?

I find that the best matches are set up by family and friends, not shadchanim, anyway.

It’s important to get your name out there, but once you do, there are many people who want someone with good middos who is not necessarily learning full time. Good middos are more important than anything else in marriage, and any girl with her head on her shoulders realizes that.

It means great brachos are about to come into your life,and that your children will be successful teachers of Torah, because v’shinantam livanecha.

I would not test a date, and would not want to be tested. I don’t think it’s fair, you don’t always know why a person responds the way they do.

Also dating is itself a very stressful situation, who needs to be worrying about being tested? Just see who the person is, over time stresses come up, you hear about their history, no one lives without stress and you will have a chance to see how they respond to challenges. you’re not evaluating the person, you’re seeing if you’re compatible with them.

I see a date as getting to know the other person, not to put nisyonos in their path.

hereorthere- I think that’s the exception rather than the rule. Many many girls want a man with good middos, even girls from learning families.

Great changes, this makes YWN much easier to use.

I only read the shidduch posts.

Look to see if he’s interested in what you’re saying, or just waiting to get a word in.
