DY, I should have bought a lotto ticket – KNEW you would be the one to answer right away! 🙂
“That is absolutely not true.”
That is where we disagree the most, probably. If you grew up with the exact mindset that I did, you would not think that certain things are untzniusdig. I am not talking about unquestionable issues of tznius, where there can be no compromise. There are however, people who think it is i.e. untzniusdig for a boy to speak to a girl altogether, unless they are already dating. How is he supposed to have a conversation with her when it IS the perceived proper time, if he has know idea how to speak to her normally, to begin with? Dating should not be so intimidating for our young men and women.
Rus, the great-grandmother of Dovid Hamelech, who was KNOWN for her tznius, did something that by some folks’ way of thinking would have probably been considered extremely scandalous, when she went to meet Boaz in the night. Never mind that it was for a tachlis. To me this is a no-brainer. Something’s gotta give. We cannot afford for ANY of our young people to not be married and produce a new generation of klal Yisroel.
