What happene...I'm just an old fashioned girl. <br /><br />What happened to the good ol' days when a girl just had to breathe and she had suitors in her wake? A girl should be pursued! Wooed! Not flipping her hair in a faux casual manner while her eyes dart toward the sea of hats? <br /><br />I'd prefer to be the quarry. I'm bearing this guy children, I better be the one doing him the favor.

Some girls father walked around to the guys tables with his daughter's shidduchim resume asking if anybody thinks she is their speed and wants to go out with her. there were no takers, but more people didnt want to go out because the father was well, weird for doing that. <br /><br />But how about printing the resumes on one side, the picture on the other, and what she is wearing tonight in case they want to peek over to the women's side to check you out in real life. Then hand out "Hi my name is_____" pins to all the girls to make for easy identification. <br /><br />Also show up to the shmorg, as its the only time when guys will make it onto the woman's side for the better food (for some reason the carving station, sushi, or the better hot foods are never on the mens side and only on the woman's) <br /><br />Oh, and don't wear black, because <br />even if a guy does notice you he could at least remember something about you to ask someone to find out about you. The girls who wear green, orange, yellow, or something other than black increases their chances immensely. if you dont have enough flavor for that, how about non-black shoes?harry-er than them allhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957506180776134351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-47021687890438099932010-05-26T23:14:31.869-04:002010-05-26T23:14:31.869-04:00lol. not at all what you led me to expect!!lol. not at all what you led me to expect!!little sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002942154389258717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-36794467630684093832010-05-26T22:44:31.290-04:002010-05-26T22:44:31.290-04:00I like the idea, if girls started doing that, I mi...I like the idea, if girls started doing that, I might rethink my hatred of weddings :)BJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284005539217450744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-73888525072944291762010-05-26T22:37:19.533-04:002010-05-26T22:37:19.533-04:00In my seminary we use hangers.
