Popa, seriously?????????
Oomis, quite seriously.
What are you looking for? That we should open up pool halls for bochurim and girls to go hang out every night and try to socialize? Guys socialize within their yeshivos, and girls socialize within their circles of friends–they aren’t meeting each other organically.
If you mean to have occasional singled events, well, that is already existing, and is not all what you are advocating, since you meet them once and then either go out on a date or not–you don’t socialize for months and then decide to ask her out, like “our parents did” (my parents didn’t, but maybe yours did, I dunno. My grandparents didn’t either, FTR, in America. My great-grandparents didn’t either (blind arranged marriage in Russia)).
Unless you mean that we should have coed yeshivos so that the social circles will overlap. And I don’t think that’s a good idea, even if it would solve every crisis in the world, including the not enough herring at kiddush crisis.
