My wife and I redd a shidduch to a girl, a really fine boy, from (we thought) a fine family. She called us back within 24 hours and told us that he seems like a fine bachur to please mention it to the boys family. We did. The boys mother was so insulted that we did not consult them 1st (“because, thats how its done”), that she simply refused to hear more!

If the rules of the game will remain the same, that one must go to the bachurs side first, then shadchonim should simply say “bachur, here is the name of a girl, call me back in 72 hours (want to quibble on the dealine, fine) otherwise I will set her up with another boy”. No playing the thousand questions that need to be answered game before I say yes or no. No wasting everyones time. Girls will have dates.

Some boys think NASI is an acronym for No Answer, Still Inquiring.
