Should shadchanim suggest shidduchim with an age gap? Let’s say a shadchan has resumes from 30 divorced women. 10 younger than 29, 10 between 29 and 34 and 10 older than 34. A divorced guy walks in the door who is 42. The shadchan suggests the 10 older women. The guy insists that he has been dating for a while and he only wants to go out with the women who are 34 or younger. Should the shadchan suggest him to the younger women? Yes or no? Does it change if she has not had a suggestion for the younger women in 2 weeks? Is it the shadchan’s role to encourage people to be more open-minded?
Should I shadchan make her own decisions or present many options and let the singles decide?
