“Are there any other ways to meet that Im not aware of?”
Yes, but they are not considered tzniusdig enough by yeshivish standards. I met my husband in the work place. Many girls could do the same – but won’t. Going to college where both genders are in classes AT THE SAME TIME, is another terrific way. My daughter met her incredible husband (my wonderful son-in-law who is another son to me) in college, and in fact, they got to know each other in a beautiful and special way ON THEIR OWN. They are frum kids, who have seichel and adore each other. My son-in-law learns with a chavrusah, holds down a fulltime job, and is a devoted husband and father. He also is an extremely caring and thoughtful person, who opens a car door for ME when I get in and out of his car (as my husband still does after 33 years!).
I think our bnos Yisroel are missing out on the experience they deserve – that of being cherished by their husbands. Boys should be taught the social niceties ALL ALONG in Yeshivah, not just in a chosson shmooze before the wedding. OK, done with my rant – for now.
