taking a break
He may be a nice guy, but he seriously stepped out of line and if he feels comfortable complimenting a girl he doesnt know so personally its a sign that he is a certain type. I cant stress this enough, be very very careful.

I wonder about that one. Is it ever a compliment? Tough call huh?

What you have written here is a powerful and moving piece. I am very impressed with your resilience and your faith in Hashem. What you have overcome and continue to face is a staggering challenge that many people would not be able to handle.
Thank you for the inspiration!
Hashem should continue to give you the strength to overcome every challenge you face.
P.s. You should submit this to some frum magazines and news papers.

“My daughter does not live to please me. Does not answer to me. Judaism is a one man religion.”
Parents have a chiyyuv to be mechaneich their children. There is a concept of Arvus we are all responsible to each other we are supposed to have Ahavas Yisroel and love our fellow like ourselves, so I dont see how anyone can say Judaism is a one man religion at all. Its anything but!

“I would tell my daughter to do whatever she wanted”
I do not believe you mean that sincerely.

You are 100% right!

Would you tell your daughter to give her phone #?!

“but why say it that way?”
If I had to guess these types of comments started on some movie or TV show. Thats where all these sick disgusting lines and similar things start.

He had no business complimenting you and it is out of line. They say in shidduch dating you shouldnt compliment her on the first few dates and even when you do dont make it too personal. Certainly in a random conversation he shouldnt be “hitting on you” as Hacham says. Fech.
You blushed because you are a good Bas Yisroel who isnt used to male attention. You should be proud of yourself.
Lets face the facts. The sunglasses made for health reasons look very different than the ones made for fashion. If you wearing sunglasses that are in fashion with a designer name on it don’t delude yourself that you are doing it for your “health.” I don’t believe for one second that your eyes need Prada or Armani or Ray Ban… you aren’t fooling anybody.
Thank you whomever mentioned me. Breakfast is on me lol.
I don’t know off hand but for $100 you are getting junk guaranteed.

Regarding Challah

Regarding Brachos there are a few great ones in English. Rabbi Bodners is very clear and covers everything.

Why don’t you assume its true and prepare. Halevai we would all prepare. If we did moshiach would be here.

“Sunglasses are like l’vush hagoyim. It’s not something that has typically been worn by Jews.”
While sunglasses are no issue if they are.being worn for health reasons, the fancy shmancy designer glasses (the big ones like Channel Gucci D&G) that are very in these days are worn purely for fashion and can sometimes be a bit of a statement. Personally I used to wear sunglasses and I can attest that I felt different while wearing them. I also asked a girl I dated and she admitted she feels (not child appropriate 4 letter word beginning with s) when wearing sunglasses. Sunglasses is not just about eye health or fashion. There are other things at play and it is very clear from how they are marketed and from movies that its part of an attitude and a statement and not just “tinted eye protectors.”
Moshiach please come

Pashas Chayei Sara: Sforno -Rivka, Not Even A Thank You “Vayehi Kaasher Kilu HaGmalim Lishtos Vayikach HaIsh Nezem Zahav” (Chayei Sara 24:22), after the camel finished drinking Eliezer gave Rivka jewelry. Why does the Torah point out that it was only after the camel finished drinking? Did Eliezer need to wait for the last sip before he knew Rivka was the right girl?
The Sforno answers that until the camels didn’t finish drinking, Eliezer did not know if the girl would want something in return. Maybe she had ulterior motives. Only after the job was completed and Rivka didn’t ask for anything in return, not a even a compliment or a thank you, did Eliezer understand that she was a true Baalas Chesed. True Chesed is the love of helping others without the slightest sense of our own ego.

Rent an apartment with a group of girls. There are many girls that rent apartments together and that way you have people to talk to and you can make friends.
Hello people! Your lives are NOT OVER! Rabbi Akiva started learning at 40. Forget the past and focus on the future. Don’t live in your past. Anyone can do Teshuva change and live differently. Baruch Hashem we are not suffering from terminal illness. We don’t know how long we will live so lets seize the moment.

“P.S. i was wearing a baseball cap so there’s no issue of Chillul Hashem.”
Even if there’s no issue of chillul Hashem we still have to act like mentchen. Expressing anger and lowering yourself to say something hurtful even to a non Jew is not the way we behave. We are Rachmanim Bayshanim and Gomlei Chassadim. You missed an opportunity to grow by controlling your emotions.
Moshiach please come
It sounds like she has emotional issues. She either needs therapy pills or both. You can’t change a person so your best bet is spend less time around her. I heard in few shiurim on Kibbud Av Vaeim that if ones parents are extremely difficult then one should try to move out or spend time away as much as they can.
Moshiach please come
Talk to the source of all Bracha the Borei Olam. He is the only one to turn to.
It is debatable if this mitzvah applies today. Additionally I heard that one can be mekayem that mitzvah by visiting or by supporting anniyei Eretz Israel. Don’t ask me for sources maybe someone here knows of some.
I don’t think that exists exactly in the format of a seminary. However there is Ohr Naava in Brooklyn which has various shiurim and activities and events for from girls and women throughout the week.There ate also programs for learning any subject over the phone with a live partner like partners in Torah.

Glad that you have such a good relationship with your family. Not so common that a young person would be closer to family than to friends and feels that they can turn to family for help with issues.
I haven’t met many people who are Buki-im in the 4 chelkei shulchon aruch and keep Halacha 100% that they are ready to take on chmros . If you keep the Torah by adhering fully to the 4 Chelkei Shulchon Aruch you are a Tzaddik in my book!
Wait so for guys it shows he is a kid at risk and for girls its just about having good breath?

I would have politely asked her to lower her voice and explain that she is being loud and it is disturbing my ability to read or sleep…
Not sure you can. Just create a new one.
Gefen its a way of pushing the thread up to the top. I am also hoping for some good news about this girl.
I just want to add that those who make frequent spelling, grammar and usage mistakes don’t understand how to use English that well in the first place. Therefore any attempt at correcting them is useless as they won’t get it. Especially a grammar or usage mistake. For those of you who absolutely insist on correcting others, if you really care about the person making the mistake you will explain why its a mistake and teach them about that particular topic so they will understand how to avoid that mistake in the future. If you can’t be bothered to impart of your knowledge and actually help the person you are correcting then all you are doing is showing off that you know English better than the person you corrected. In that case your correction is a nauseating nuisance that you can keep to yourself.

This may have been mentioned. I think it would be enjoyable to see how many users are currently logged in, how many are lurking and which names are logged in. Other forums have this. I don’t know if the YW system can be customized to these specifications.

Yout said on a different thread that we should try making things easier for others. If you believe in what you preach then please stop correcting everyone’s spelling and grammar mistakes. Its very unpleasant and seems to be annoying many members. If you feel that you enjoy grammar why don’t you get your kicks by perusing a grammar website and use this website as it was intended.
You can also start a thread about grammar if it pleases you. Just please stop correcting everyone’s grammar. We don’t like it and don’t want the corrections. Everyone seems to understand each other just fine regardless of a few minor grammar or spelling indiscretions. Please kindly allow us to make our mistakes in peace.
Thank you!

Thanks for having my back. I appreciate the compliment and it came at a time that I needed one.
Hatzlacha!

I catch plenty of people doing something good. The point is, that it shouldnt be a chiddush that a Yid does something good, but by you it obviously is…
I think its disgusting how the op got attacked for his poor English. Its obvious that English is not this persons first language. Does our proficiency in English give us a right to mock and denigrate others for their lack of English skills? Or does that just reveal our nasty side and show how insecure we are that we need to resort to putting the less fortunate down to feel better about ourselves?
I have tried it. Just a disclaimer for segulos. They only work if you are doing everything else right. There arent any shortcuts in Judaism.
“Halachically there is no such thing as engagement. You are only Chapman and Allah after the chasing. Or at the minimum after kiddushin. Engagement is a non Jewish concept.”
I hate when my phone does this lol. I meant Chassan and Kallah after the chasunah.

Its a great idea I often do this or just say various things to myself or in my head like Lo Sasuru in the street, or Veahavta Lereyacha Kamocha when someone is getting on my nerves…
I do the talking to Hasshem in private when nobody can see me or whisper where it looks like I am mumbling a song or whatever. No inyan to look crazy lol
I think its apparent that wine plays a role in moderation here :-p
