BMYer – I wasn’t necessarily referring to a situation in which someone very b’dafka has specific boys and girls over in order for them to meet each other and they know it beforehand, and they feel like they are on a date. I know people who have a lot of singles over and don’t make a point of not having boys and girls at the same meals. So it’s not necessarily planned that those specific boys and girls are there together – they just happened to be the ones who called and asked to come that week.
Also, I’m myself on dates in any case, and I hope by my age, everyone is. My point was that you’re not in real-life situations on a date.
My comment was based on 2 maasim that happened to me. I’ll explain in another post.
