“If you are trying to understand something, a good rule of thumb – asking is preferable to drawing your own conclusions.”
I didn’t draw my own conclusions – I wrote that I “guessed” not that I “assumed”. I didn’t ask because it didn’t matter if that was your concern or not.
My point was two-fold:
1. As I recall (I can’t find the thread now), I was a bit concerned that the poster had somewhat of a “taana” against you for your comment. Even though it seemed like a relatively small “taana”, I wanted to point out to them a possible reason for your concern so that they shouldn’t have any “taana” against you.
2. When I was considering what the hesitations could be for such a post, it occurred to me that there may be readers who think that this is how ultra-Orthodox people date. I had a real reason for this concern based on some things that I came across online recently. As I wrote in that thread as well as this one, I wanted to make sure that any readers reading the thread did not think that this was the norm. So whether or not this was in fact your concern was irrelevant.
