tahini – well said. As a single guy I can say I’m at that point of being completely fed up with the shidduch system. I’m fed up with being put into this awkward, completely unnatural environment where you have to figure out how to have hours-long conversations with a complete stranger because Mrs. Weinstein thought it was a good idea. I’m fed up with being part of a system in which girls are these delicate, elusive creatures with whom you aren’t supposed to learn how to converse with until 20 or 25 years into life when you are thrust into above-mentioned awkward hours-long conversations. I’m fed up with a system in which a completely natural, healthy attraction to the opposite gender is viewed as wrong and even evil. But go ahead, don’t say good shabbos to people. (Rant over)
