I have a couple of times. One time i went on a shidduch date at midnight for some interesting reason..there was no shaychus and i was falling asleep..i purposely lit up a cigarette.Other times i just said really stupid things…i still make sure she is comfortable and take her to eat if she wants i will just have fun if its not going to go anywhere.

they wont eat anything but the food is a good show.Dont ask him so many questions..ask him how he got there..how the drive was…dont ask him which mesechta he is learning..it doesnt matter to u anyway.Ask him about his life and maybe just tell ur daughter to come down the stairs a lil quicker.Peace.

Every system has its goods and bads………The current yeshiva system of certain guys not marrying girls whose father cant support the to learn isnt a good thing for anybody.guys arent getting married and girls are just getting older.

Why should people have no money and food to put on their table?Why should their wives walk around looking shlumpy?

Learn and Work.Thats what the mishnah says.The gemara in Berachos also said lots did like Rav Shimon and didnt make it.

obviously its cool that theres like a million people learning..but sometimes people need to work when you have a family.

I held onto (not wore) the chosson’s jewlery a couple of times.Somehow it became a thing to give it to your closest friends or ppl who need to get married.Peace.

I respect all jews today who are going in the path of the torah.Trying their hardest no matter what.
