One or two questions, maybe, to make sure the other isn't a serial killer and he is far moving in a direction in life that would be amenable to you (Working vs learning). <br /><br />But to ask questions about personality, mode of dress, hobbies . . . ? What neighbor knows all that? How do you know they know what they are talking about? <br /><br />The system has been hijacked, people! Shidduch date did not equate Secret Service, once upon a time. <br /><br />A couple of questions, don't ask for references . . . take the girl out for coffee and be done with it.Princess Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217157534383672867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252262388416087547.post-9251703555030606462011-12-20T22:31:39.601-05:002011-12-20T22:31:39.601-05:00yes thats true, but the way we have it set up now ...yes thats true, but the way we have it set up now protects you from yourself way down the line..when you have built the relationship and possibly fallen in love only to find out that you want completely different things in life! At that point you either break up or compromise on your standards and goals. <br /><br />either case the heartbreak is still present. the system is in place to protect us from that. to save us the pain. <br /><br />thats not to say that the system is flawlessaminspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226594722883362146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252262388416087547.post-88038046790500054252011-12-20T21:42:52.525-05:002011-12-20T21:42:52.525-05:00That, my friend, is what I have been saying all al...That, my friend, is what I have been saying all along.
