Pre paying shadchanim?! Preposterous! Ridiculous! Absurd!
I guess the only reason this practice can exist is through desperation, or great wealth. Give the money to reliable tzeddaka
cases & you will have much more Hatzlacha.
The point of dating is to find the basherte, not to get a lot of dates, or even a few. If you aren’t getting any dates find a better shaddchan, the answer isn’t by throwing money at them. For after all this is no guarantee whatsoever that he or she will redt you your Basherte. Probably after you pay them your neighbor will redt you your basherte for free. Please Yidden! your basherte, as well as your everything comes from HB”H,
not the Shadchan!
