TOHIGHSCHOOLGUY: “I still do not understand the problem with a relationship between guys and girls, and have not been able to get a concrete answer out of anyone.”
I will give you a concrete answer, It usually (more often than not)
leads to Isurim,(figure it out) & face it, although maybe most girls are looking for
positive attention, understanding, & just to talk, guys are not
(at least straight ones) guys can be manipulative (not talkin bout myself here)
persuasive, to a naive unsuspecting girl who’s just looking for a friend etc.
I’m sure some guys & girls will protest this as untrue but being truly
honest thats just the way it is.
It hurts my heart knowing the true nature of things as teenager has said
& zalmi, & I think (not being closeminded) that the co-ed idea is ultimately
counterproductive, however the seperate events like rabbi wallerstein bowling etc.. has the right idea, although there is not enough of those & it has to be more extensive than bowling & pizza, like baseball/basketball leagues, paintball, clay shooting, etc. (& interesting programs for the girls) so the guys are & girls are really having fun with their peers looking forward to the next fun thing all the while with learning & experienced speakers whom they can ask their question etc. you get it? this is it!!!
Kosher, Educational, & Fun.
this is my solution, teenager, borrowed from yours, slightly altered,
from co-ed to seperate (not less fun i hope).
Hope this happens I know guys who are w/ Rabbi wallerstein prog
& it keeps them entertained & out of trouble.(when they are there)
Hope I was of some help.
May Hashem have mercy on his nation & give them the wisdom to do what
is right in his eyes. Amen!
