Reply To: Would this be stepping over boundaries?

I could definitely get the info from a non-Jewish girl. I just wanted to know if it it would wrong to ask a boy if

a. i have zero interest in them and am asking purely for the sake of the test coming up..

b. they (as a group) and I, are as far as i can tell, the smartest in the class.

Even I’m wrong about that,

c. There’s a comfort thing in asking a Jew rather than a goy Especially when I distinctly stick out as a religious girl, I’m sort of on my own.

There is a math lab on campus, but I volunteer during the day and come in to school with just enough time to make it in time for class.

abcd2- None of the frum young men are married, actually i think a few are younger (as in, 17, 18) than me! (there goes the “just marry them!” idea)

haleivi- you must be joking- hashkafic discussions in calculus class?! also, i try to make sure to sit in a place where eye contact is impossible during class

middlepath- i appreciate that, in that it’s terribly inconveniant that so many people assume that asking a question/volunteering help- automatically means you “like” him/her- which is SO not the case!

grrr.

As soon as I have my notebook on me, i’ll post my question- thanks!
