Dr P,
1- It might be hard to say no to a Shadchan, but it’s never impossible! Just say you’ve got to go, and hang up!
2- We already have a severe shortage of Shadchanim, decreasing the numbers of Shadchanim in any way, would make the crisis worse not better.
A shadchan doesnt have to know either of the parties to be successful. My own Shadchan never met either myself or my husband. She had the basic info and what can I tell you, B”H, because of the “H” factor (Hashem) I was engaged 3 weeks later, no pressure. When it goes, it goes. Trust me she barely knew anything about either one of us! She clearly knew our phone numbers, everything else she had sketchy knowledge of. AND neither of us were novice daters- we had been going out for a while! I dont think my situation is that rare either.
