Reply To: What to put on shidduch resume?

lilmod ulelamaid: Thank you!

Everyone: Thank you!

So what I did so far was super basic with a little about me, and about my family, and that I am looking for a healthy-minded person… blah blah blah

I am still trying to figure out my own life, so I feel weird about stating what kind of person I am looking for in regards to hashkafah. Well truthfully I want someone who is way more liberal, but what that translates to can fit so many profiles.

A friend said that it’s never a bad thing to “have some bait in the water,” so it’s okay to be out there despite my apprehensions or feeling like my shidduch resume is yet up to par. Meanwhile, I wonder if having my “bait” or name out in the water, and feeling exposed by handing it out to strangers essentially, exposes me to sharks as well.

Is it really better to try, because obviously I want to find my bashert and get married, and do the histadulus of becoming a vessel for Hashem’s hashgachat pratis [despite being nervous because the effort and discomfort is part of the process]?

Thank you all so much for your help thus far!!!
