    1day: you say that if only … Well a lot of people do learn full time etc to get the girl they want but it usually ends in disaster because they are representing someone they are not

    Yes one could and should be a ben torah.

    I believe this whole “label” thing came about due to the fact that a person can’t be without a rov/rebbi/rebbe/mentor so people started describing themselves by who the followed.

    Both for to give money to a poor goy is also tzeddoko (I just don’t think you can use maaser for it)

    Thata boy/girl mytake (by the way are you new to here?). I was actually about to say that a person is not litvish or chassideshe, rather they follow a specific derech. To me, someone who is heimish is a person who feels comfortable with all (and I tend to also mix in the meaning that they are “with it”) but likely follows one (or a slight combination of) derech/derachim

    for example I consider myself “heimish” yet I am a chossid of boston chassidus (in particular the rebbe that took over in boston) and follow their derech

    I love how the CR tries to figure out a poster before they actually get there.

    Now that is a question being that a father has a responsibility to marry off his son (gemarah kiddushin daf lamed/lamed alef (I am not 100% sure of the exact daf). In regards to a kolel yungerman saving the maaser money for themselves this would have no bearing as to whether one can use maaser for dating (there are those that hold that people who learns in kollel are chashuv k’ani) and in regards to being able to afford a wife (and family etc) that is a whole other parsha and hopefully will at least be discussed on the dates. It has nothing to do with the question being discussed.

    Anybody hear the story about when men were being admitted into heaven they were told to form two lines. One was for those who were dominated by their wives and one for those who dominated. All except one stood in the first line. When the one man was asked how he got to be standing in the second line, he responded: my wife told me to …

    True hair shouldn’t be that important but you are dating a girl and the way she looks now does effect the decision (kinda hard to decide to marry a girl for the way she will be/look)

    Yochi please tell your husband that there actually is a masseches chanuka (it isn’t very commonly known by that name though). It is about 2-3 blatt at most and is in the middle of masseches shabbos.

    The side I would say that you don’t have to give maaser is that you were oker the kinyan chatzer by having in mind that you don’t want it so the money was never yours but as always ask your LORD (local orthodox rabbi – duh)

    Yes there are kosher phones in america (by the way I use on average about 1500 texts a month just from talking with people (not just stam schmoozing either) they just add up (it also helps that I have a lot of people that I am close with as contacts)

    What I have been trying to say is just because something is expensive does not mean that you should be allowed to use maaser for it. Maaser is not just something to be used for any ol’ mitzvah, it is supposed to be used for tzedoko. The heterim given to for example use maaser for tuition is because you are giving the money to a torah institution (supporting torah. One of the reasons why one is allowed to buy seforimn with maaser money. (though they don’t have the ability to be “yarshened”) even though it is ALSO benefiting you. Now if someone is poor enough to be receiving maaser they are able to use it for whatever they want (I am not sure about their own maaser)

    Professional: that still doesn’t rationalize using maaser for dates. How does it create any sort of connection between the two? What is the thought process of there even being a consideration for it?

    Smartcookie I thank you much

    Wishing you a gut voch

    But myself I couldn’t

    Nor I wouldn’t

    Have done it without help much

    I owe a debt of gratitude

    To dear daas yochid too

    For giving me

    The courage to be

    Limericist on tune (hey how about turning that into a subtitle!)

    Have I been mentioning?

    Daas yochid lim by lim?

    Don’t be sad

    Nor be mad

    For smiles I want to bring

    I give credit where it is due

    (See I gave it to you too)

    Now let’s go

    And have a show

    With limericks anew

    But to stay on topic (especially now that I have posted here), people have told me that I am outgoing/personable, industrious, hard working, capable, talented, and I forget the rest. I don’t necessarily agree with them all but I live by the rule that people, especially your close friends likely know you better than you know yourself *shrug*

    Why should you be allowed to use maaser money for dating? Just because it is expensive? It isn’t tzedoko (though you are allowed to buy seforim with maaser money they don’t get included in din yerusha)

    Daas yochid said it clearly

    And I hold it very dearly

    The rules they say

    Are needed to play

    Now please come and hear me

    I will now pass on

    What really has not gone

    Very far behind

    This post of mine

    Now please don’t yell mom (random?)

    The rules they say are few

    But lines one and two

    Also five

    Have to rhyme

    Then 3 and 4 too

    The rhymes I see you have

    The syllables need a tad

    Of work by you

    Oh my it’s true

    At me please don’t be mad

    The first 2 limerick lines

    Can have at most 9

    The next are five

    And then you dive

    Into limerick mines

    Before you get limerick heaven

    The last line no more than seven

    Syllables fine

    And then you dine

    On limericks and leaven

    *whew*

    Yoyo56: the term “in the parsha” is used instead of are you on the dating scene (don’t ask me why because I don’t know) but from your original post I would assume not (and to answer your question, depending on the circles would depend if it is “normal.” for example there are certain chassidim amongst whom it is quite common to find the girls getting married at or around 16)

    Oh and no one should be talking to the involved parties unless there is going to be something lemaaseh (a date) happening (that mistake was made by me but thankfully it was caught and taken care of)

    You should speak up but not necessarily to request from the parents what you want but rather to discuss with them what you are looking for (to say it less confusingly, speak to the parents to get onto the same page don’t just tell them this is what you do/n’t want (like a hungry kid looking for food and the parent has to go through do you want this? How about that?)

    Am I being too confusing?

    Me thinks (no not the poster) that there are some people in the CR going out now due to the recent influx of dating etiquette questions (though strangely some of them seem to be started by posters who I am under the impression are married already …)
