On the first date, you talk about family and Israel. On the second date, you discuss Israel. By the third date, you should both know each other pretty well already, so talk about something else before Israel. On the fourth date, you talk about living in Israel. On the fifth, you take off your tie so she could see the real you and that’s a big enough step that you don’t have to talk about anything else. On the sixth date, you’re back to Israel again, but you could repeat everything you said on previous dates since it’s the next stage. From the sixth on, the shadchan will call you after each date asking if you’re all talked-out of Israel, and when both sides say yes, it’s engagement time. During engagement, depending on how frum you are, you’ll probably find yourself talking to your fiance and basically you just review all your dates in scrutinizing detail.
