tbt – anyone who is a parent has to read Z’riah U’Binyan. However, I would slightly disagree with your previous comment. It is not necessarily true that a person dating has never done anything for the other person. It really depends how long and serious the dating is. For the vast majority of yeshivish people, I agree. Not everyone gets engaged after 5 dates, however. I can tell you that when I went out seriously with someone, I did many selfless things. I cried sometimes because they were painful for me to do but I did them because it made the other person happy. So, I don’t want to put labels like love on any emotion, but it’s not like it was just infatuation and thinking of myself.
