I myself had the experience of working for a very chashuvah shadchan in boro park. she was at the point where she had just gone off paper and into a computer program. what a mess. 6 phone lines all ringing at the same time you don’t know which one to pick up first…the faxe machine kept runing out of paper bc it couldnt keep up with the pages pple were faxing in, phone calls from ALL around the world. I was amazed….but what I did notice is the pple that were consistant definitely got heard and red to but it takes a thick skin and pereseverence. keep calling. I remember this one man who called every tuesday morning at 10:20am about prospects for his daughter, sometimes he got, i’m too busy, I’ll call you back and she never did…needless to say he kept calling until his daughters mazal opened up. I guess you could say he pushed the door opened for her…but please don’t give up keep calling, and don’t for one second think that it is you. it’s crazy what goes on especially if the shadchan is known for getting results, that’s why you are calling them and not someone else. keep calling… Look at it like this if you were at work and your boss told you if you close the deal you get a million dollars…you would do whatever it takes to make the deal. this is your future, so do what it takes to make the deal. (w/ derech eretz of course) I wish you Hatzlacha and Mazal and Beezrat Hashem your next cr post will be to invite us to your virtual engagement party!
