i must tell u i also beshowed and now that im married for 5 years ill tell u we spoke for 3 times about an hour and half each and when my father asked me what i say i said this is the first girl i meet and i have no idea what to look for in a girl when getting married so u tell me what u think he said yes so we went further.
now after 5 years i do see that if we would date the other way alot of things would be differet and some better as well but this way is deffinatly a lot of good things both are young and grow up togther
and what u said about taxting and talking so far im chasidish and went to a chasidish yeshiva there where boucherim there that where talking to ther kallah and there r lots that text as well if u really want u goto find a way to ask him not threw his parents most of the time the chusen and kallah would agree and the parents dont have to know as my chavrusah was talking to his kalah about evety 2 weeks for over an hour and both parents didnt know.
anyway i wish u good luck in ur marriage when is the chasunah
