Popa: My answer to ‘How old are you?’ is ‘I am looking to date a guy between the ages of X and Y’. If someone really wants to help, that is enough information for them.
(unless i’m in a doctors office 😉 in that case I write it down on a piece of paper and give it to them, no need for the whole office to hear how old I am. Ditto for the pharmacy).
Poster and oyyoyyoy: Please don’t stop suggesting shidduchim to single men and women- we need you to set us up- just try and be mindful of boundaries and our dignity. Most of us are mature professionals. Just like you wouldn’t start asking your doctor all sorts of personal questions, be mindful that you don’t make us uncomfortable, while trying to help us. Thank you for trying!
