My wife and I are frumster match #152.

We did not consult Daas Torah before putting our profiles up. Nor did we consult Daas Torah regarding what to put in our profiles. It didn’t occur to either of us. In fact, shadchanim had advised me not to put a particular bit of information into my profile because it might scare people away; it happened to be exactly the thing that caused my wife to initiate the first frumster contact!

That said, I called her rav (Lakewood-trained) and she called my rav (YU-trained) after we connected on frumster but before we met. Any real frum Jew would have a rav who can be honest about a possible shidduch. We did not consult a gedol because neither of us personally knew a gedol. “Make yourself a rav” means a lot more than running to him for every little halachic issue — it means having a spiritual guide. And hearing from the spiritual guide of a potential life partner is well worth a phone call!

We were engaged 23 days after our first face to face meeting.

I wish all singles their bashert — through frumster or otherwise.
