I’m no expert but I’ve been married to my only wife for almost 40 years. When dating be genuine and sincere. Don’t try to be more frum than you really are and lose the “taiva” for “gashmius”. Who really cares what car you drive? or the designer dress? or a big fancy house. It doesn’t mean you don’t like nice things but keep it in a healthy perspective. If you are Bais Yaakov girl think about whethr you really want a full-time kollel husband. It sounds good. BUT is this in fact good for you. If it is then fine. If not, don’t feel guilty afterall your teachers won’t be married to him, you will be. Just use common sense…. an apparently rare attribute these days.
