AZ: I assume you are joking. Did you really think I meant the selfsame day a boy decides he is ready he goes out on his first date. Obviously, the first Cheshvan or Iyar after he feels ready he enrols in BMG. This is the way it should be; those who are ready at 21 enter Lkwd then and start dating a couple of months later, those who aren’t ready until 24 enrol then. If they would listen to you and being dating before they are ready, the tragic results will be your responsibility.
The R”Ys signed to encourage boys to consider close in age shidduchim. I have no issue with not ruling out a shidduch just because the girl is “only” one year younger. But pressuring boys to date before they are ready will certainly exacerbate the already tragic divorce scene.
