iac: That sounds like a beshow.
takah: I take it your family follows the aforementioned way it’s done in Eretz Yisroel.
RY23: Why/how so?
CS: The American way is a pretty close copy of the traditional goyish way of dating.
Shopping: In America, unlike Eretz Yisroel, if the guy doesn’t have a car then he’ll rent a car for the date or otherwise procure a car specially for the date.
GH: The way it’s done in America is relatively new to the frum community. There aren’t any historical precedents for it in the frum community over a hundred years ago.
Meno: How might you think that the system in Eretz Yisroel *is* in any way adopted from the goyim?
Phil: That’s false. I’ve never said that or anything resembling that.
