Wow. You seem like an awesome friend.
A- Its not a life choice, its one boy, and if she has to date 3 other boys before her friend “gets over” him so be it. In my experience no one remains attached to someone they dated forever.
B- You NEVER let a guy get in between a friendship.

Not outright like Hi, my name is Sac, whats your drink of choice? But in conversation it may have come up… 😉

Meh. I can always convert him.
See. Not picky.

For people w basic social graces it is.
A topic near and dear to my heart.
If you KNOW she continues to have feeling for him: STAY AWAY!
If you arent sure, ask her.
If someone else suggested it, you ask he IN PERSON, is it ok with you if I date such and such.
If she is the one suggesting it to you by all means accept, people suggest guys theyve dated to their friends all the time.
I’m w lkwdfellow.
Does he get along with others?
(I didnt read through all the posts so I hope I’m not repeating)
These are the people who get offended when Jews are called cheap!
Delivery is a convenience, if for whatever reason you cannot make it to the store and the store offers free delivery that is on the store NOT on the delivery person. Show some mentschlichkeit and some hakoras hatov and give the guy/gal a tip!
Where is that pet peeve thread…?
Um, do you need a ride to AA? I’m free tonight.
No one is saying that “puppy love” is equal to the love of a 95 year old couple who has gone through life together. At the same time it is an honest feeling and emotion, so why discredit that and blame it on religion?
No. Its a human concept.
This is not Jewish vs. Non-Jewish/ Good vs. Bad issue. You havent violated anything if you fall/ fell in love. There is nothing wrong with it.
Infatuation. So your love has no basis in reality, you’ll date 2-3 times and then it will end. Whats going to happen? Have you violated anything, has anyone gotten hurt, is your Neshoma any less intact?
Love is an emotion!
Maybe if people allowed themselves to feel a little before marriage, there would be less divorces after less than a year of marriage.

(Those are probably the boys who arent planning on earning a paycheck for the next 10 yrs.)
Obviously I feel honesty is the best policy… I also feel that sanity and common sense is also a good policy which seems to have been pushed to the back burner.

I’ll make it easy on you then. FLATBUSH DOES NOT CATER TO BAALEI TESHUVA!
I live in Flatbush, and I have dated MANY Baalei Teshuva, it is no coincidence that none of them LIVED in Flatbush.
Passaic, yes. Monsey, yes. Baltimore, yes. Queens, yes. Far Rockaway, yes. Flatbush…. No. That is not to say that there is not one Baal Teshuva living in Flatbush, but what the OP is looking for is a community that will meet her needs as a Baala Teshuva, one where she wont get lost in the shuffle and one where she can meet a fellow Baal Teshuva. Unfortunately, Flatbush does not fit the bill.

Name a BT Yeshiva in Flatbush. We can got through every other city and name their BT Yeshivos, but I think it would be easier to start off naming the ones in Flatbush. Go.
If your main objective is to get a quick buzz, knock yourself out.

“And there are more single BT’s in Flatbush, then anywhere else in the US”
I would like to challange that statement. Do you have proof?

“…about the fact that you have no idea what kind of career you will have. That will help screen out the young women who are looking for prestige rather than a mentsch”
Um, Stability?
Old Grand Dad is swill… but then again you get what you pay for.

Id take that bet.
Why is a Museum Pritzus? There are dozens besides the MoMa, y’know…

Great choice.
Hatzlocha!
*Sigh* What a waste…
(no offense, estherhamalka)

Did I say Atlanta?

Are you looking for a fellow Baal Teshuva?
Why does everyone think that you need to be having deep and meaningful conversations the ENTIRE time?
So you play a 45 minute game of bowling… Learn to enjoy each others company.

I’m having an anxiety attack thinking about being in a lounge for 5 dates…
Glad it worked out for you 🙂

The OP is a single Baalas Teshuva. Flatbush is not a great place for single Baalei Teshuva. Period.

“pour 3 or 4 different whiskeys in different glasses, and see whether you can identify which is which by sipping, smelling, looking and tasting each”
Youd be surprised how many people can do it.
TMB
You couldnt be more wrong on the BT front.
Look in to Queens, Passaic and Baltimore.

This is where you are wrong. Bourbon is a complex whiskey that engages your senses, you arent SUPPOSED to drink it blind. In order to properly enjoy it you need to see it, smell it, taste it.

I just Googled it. Ive neer heard of that one before… I’ll have to keep my eye out for it, thanks for the tip!

“If you have a building permit and everything was built according to approved plans and is up to code, you shouldn’t get a run around.”
Not entirely true. The city is a pain to deal with (I know, I work with them daily). Obviously, if everything is up to code (and done legally) your chances of being denied a CO are slimmer, but nothing with the City comes easy.
Remember, you are dealing with a City that is understaffed and underfunded, in these areas it shows.

Doesnt make him any less Jewish.
