“That’s not a reason to say no, that’s a bias. You implied earlier (in a post commiserating with Flatbusher) that you don’t have as many opportunities to go out as you’d like.”
I implied no such thing… I actually have more bad dates than I’d like. I go out a lot (for a girl). I’m getting worn out.
“I’ve seen more than one occasion where that assessment turned out to be wrong.”
Everyone uses that as a reason that shidduchim should just go on and on and on- because it “might” work out. Trust me, I’ve had boys who I went out with as long as I could make it work. As I said, I’ve had boys with whom the first date was so-so, but the second was much better. My point was that there’s a difference between so-so and outright bad, “we had nothing to talk about and sat there in awkward silence for two hours.”
And you ignored my point that every time I said no after one date, the boy did, as well.
