happy girl:
The answer to your question is YES. I usually only go out with a girl if friends, or the shadchan, know me and the girl personally. Not any of my parents friends who remember me when I was six and met a girl for 5 minutes. The same goes for shadchanim. They only meet a girl for a few minutes and have her resume. This does not allow you to set up a girl. You don’t KNOW her.
I am all for meeting girls on my own, which I do as well.
