“Whoever it was that decided the msot appropriate palce for a shidduch date was a LOUNGE in some hotel, should have his head examined. There are people committing all kinds of untzniusdig acts there, picking women up, doing other things. Frum young people should not be exposed to that on a date. what happened to that old standard – – the airport?”
Airport lounges are probably even more known for “hookups” than hotel lounges.
My one airport lobby date was a disaster. Not only was the woman a complete non-match, but the hotel was hosting a convention of pro-Palestinian activists. (I’m not making this up.)
