Honestly, in this day and age, someone’s personal background can be the same of any BT. I believe it is parents who are looking for yichus that have a problem with BT. As far as why a boy or girl would be afraid to date a BT, I will give you an honest opinion. A BT is a lot more serious about yiddishkeit than an FFB. A BT is usually more committed and usually knows why they do what they do. They have answers and many FFB don’t. If a BT were to question an FFB about brochos or why they say certain tefilos or do certain things. They would not have the answers but a BT would, because the studied it and researched it. That is the fear. A BT is so much more appreciative of our religion than an FFB who just performs the rituals because that is what they were taught to do from the time they were born.
