I would like to add 2 things.
1. I think an 18-19 year old girl is usually too young and immature for marriage and therefore dating and girls should really start when they are about 20.
2. The parents are nuts for thinking that a 20 year old girl dating for 2 years will never get married. How do you give up so soon on your child?! However frum society as a whole has this anxiety built into shidduchim that if someone is dating for like 2 years and nothing happens yet we freak out. We are creating a crisis by making a 20 year old girl think she will never get married. So now at 20 a girl is “old?!”
