AZ –
I started going out at age 23
I was one of the earlier ones of my friends to start going out.
Don’t even think about telling me or my friends that we should’ve started going out earlier. For what? I wasn’t ready when I was 21.5. In the close to two years from 21.5 till when I started going out – my life changed considerably. I probably wouldn’t have gotten the same quality girl as I should’ve as my “name” and position where I was in life was a lot worse. I appreciate the love that you give to people who go out. Go out when you’re not ready and marry the wrong person because at least the girl will get married. If that’s the way you feel – I’ll repeat a suggestion I made earlier – Tell guys to marry 19. Why wait till 21.5. this way they’ll get divorced at 21 and remarry at 22. That will solve the shidduch crisis. Every girl should have the right to marry AT LEAST ONCE. At least girls will be married for a few years as opposed to never.
