coke, if EVERYONE is going to the same hotel lobby (the Marriott??) to avoid running into people whom they know, is it not logical that they will run into LOTS of people whom they know?
The shtuss that I referred to Tzippi, is that a boy’s mother or father are told about a girl that someone has in mind, but until the boy says yes, the shadchan will NOT tell the girl’s family ANYTHING about the boy, not even his name? Why shouldn’t the girl have the opportunity to make an inquiry and save some time? Too much time is wasted in these games being played. Whoever knows the parties involved should give both side info and let either side say yes or no at teh same time.
