Poppa, I know someone to whom this actually happened. They thought the person liked them, but they were wrong. I know, because I was the other friend of the family who was called for info. The mother of the boy who was asking about the girl I know, told me stuff she had heard from the other “reference” (OY, I hate that word), and I had to play spin doctor (the negative info was about a family member, not the actual girl being redt), because the girl is an absolute doll, and a wonderful shidduch for some lucky boy, but the family member is problematic in some respects, at times. The shidduch did not go forward beyond one date, unfortunately, but it was not because of any information given out by “references.”
