)1) How do you ask someone to set you up? Or you don’t ask?
Post on their facebook wall. Or on this thread.
2)If a friend sets you up, is it not as good as if a Rabbi/Professional Shadchen sets you up?
Depends if you end up marrying the set-upee
3) Who should be involved in the shidduch?
Both parties.
4) If you meet somebody on your own, who you may see a potential future with- how do you approach such a matter?
From the side, so they can’t see you coming.
5) What will be required of me?
Boy: Car, Money, Job.
Girl: Looks.
I am asking these questions because I was not brought up in a home where Shidduch dating is whats done, however, I don’t see how I will meet the type of person I want to marry any other way. TY.
That is a good reason to ask these questions. I’d recommend joining a few of the yeshivish dating websites, and then going to their events.
