    No doubt about it. If you can afford it why not enjoy it. Now I wouldn’t say to drive past places just to show off your car. Everything should be done in a reasonable manner. Since a corvette is a standard car that many have, it should be fine. However, if it was a bugatti or something similar then that might be an issue.

    It’s ridiculous what this generation had come to. Adding on tips as part of your cost which used to be optional!!! When they demand a tip, that is when I will probably refuse because that is just wrong. Who ever made it that a tip is mandatory. A tip is usually because the service they’ve done was satisfying. I don’t mind giving a tip to a delivery man, but that is when it is my choice not his suggestion. But to demand and even add it on as part of the cost, I’m Sorry but they are not going to get a tip.

    You should then reevaluate what is really important and if it’s something that is not going to change and really bothers you, then stop it. Better stop it sooner than later otherwise someone might get hurt even more later on.

    Just say hi and have a brief conversation like what are you doing here/ where are you off to etc. just so it should’t be awkward and then walk off. Let’s look at the full picture. If someone is going on a date then they will be seen in public, so what’s the difference and this is only a minute or so. Unless the guy is ultra yeshivish then he should take out his phone and if he passes her just nod and pretend its an important phone call and he can’t talk.

    It really depends on your job. I’m applying this to a commission based job. Everyone usually wishes for a job that they can do from home. I think once that happens they will realize that it is not the best case. Working from home can seem like it’ll be easier but NO! I understand it’s more annoying to travel, but when you work at home you’re not in an environment to work which can result in a lot of slacking off. There are so many distractions in a house which might cause you to take many breaks. Working in an office, there really isn’t time to take occasional breaks. The distractions at an office is much less than at home. At home, one may occasionally slack off if nothing is really doing and take too many breaks. When one is at an office, when nothing is really going on, they are still at the desk waiting for something to happen. At home, the breaks can be much longer without realizing the time passing by. It really all comes down to your control. If you think you can handle working at home and not taking breaks, that’s awesome but probably not going to happen. At work there is also more motivation to work. Staying in a house all day is not that cool compared to working with others side by side. If one has self-control and self-motivation then working at home could be the option.

    It also depends if you’re married or not. A single should 100% go to an office. It’s too boring in a house and you need to be out there. It can also help you get opportunities and build connections for the future. Staying at home will not get you that far in regards to the future. If you’re married with young kids then I guess you figure out if you can get work done at home or get more work done at an office plus play for a babysitter. What ever makes more sense to you.

    However, a salary job, taking occasional breaks won’t really be an option because otherwise that could be stealing. That is something you have to figure out. Like I said by working at home you will be putting yourself in a tough position because you can’t really be taking many breaks despite nothing going on with your work.

    Hope this helped a little

    It is ridiculous to pay a fee before. Like Demo said they hardly even answer the phones when you call and until they call back can take some time. I understand that this is some peoples jobs, but this should really be done from the heart. Ok fine they will get paid if it does work out but to pay a fee per date? I feel bad for some guys who go out with many girls. Paying for the date and the shadchan? He will be broke before he finds the one lol

    Anyways if there was only a fee if it worked out, I feel shadchanim would put in a little more effort than just randomly coming up with a name right off their head. If they are getting money for every date they probably don’t put in as much effort because if it doesn’t work out this time then the’ll set them up with someone else, Oh rite we get paid for each date so why not!!!!

    Reply To Cedarhurst:

    I know the guy pays for it all but I’m just trying to figure it out because I’ve had both situations happen to me and just trying to figure out if that’s normal. People should not give off the impression of spending a lot especially if they can’t keep up with it. What’s the point? To impress the girl for a few dates then they think there is a better chance of it working out? Not gonna happen! If he is a guy that likes to spend money and can afford it then go for it, but if it will be out of his budget within a few dates then just be neutral from the beginning. Unless a girl is shallow, I don’t think that if you spend a little less money and she had a good time, she will not continue it because you didn’t spend a lot of money. As long as you both have fun, things should fall into place regardless of how much you spent. I’ve heard of plenty situations where people got married and the guy did not like spending money. Marry for the person he is, not for his money!!! (which does help a lil lol)

    As long as you let people know that you are stepping away for a bit because otherwise it could be somewhat of a Chillul Hashem when you step back online and come out of nowhere especially to the people who never saw you on line in the first place.

    You should tell them right away because if they somehow find out it’ll just be worse. Just make sure that they keep it confidential for the time being.

    Many want to see a pic of the girl before because they don’t want to waste their time if they are really not attracted. I know a pic can give off a different impression as to what they really look like, but hey it’s their loss by not giving it a try. As the famous saying is “You will marry your bashert.” If that’s the case you shouldn’t worry because if the person is your bashert, it’ll work out regardless what you look like in the pic!
