I think only people who know you shoud be setting you up, or you should go to events, so that way you dont end up going out with people w/ different hashkafic viewpoints.<br /><br />Sure there would be mistakes(itsnot often people marry their first date) but atleast you'd know the date won't be bad company, because there was the initial reason as to why you were set up.<br /><br />These particular people I speak of, share the same outlook on life and if they were concerned about anything in particular, i woulda answered any questions. And they asked a lot, even before the resume went out.frumskeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02990363895869876238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-56807927132777895892009-06-05T12:44:46.095-04:002009-06-05T12:44:46.095-04:00frumskeptic,

I once didn't go out with a girl because in her resume she clearly thought something was very important to her (the dumb cringe-inducing category of "kovei itim") which wasn't to me. Had I not seen her resume, we probably would have gone out and we would have discovered that lo and behold there are hashkafic differences.Yehudanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-72503009943434341992009-06-04T20:22:43.901-04:002009-06-04T20:22:43.901-04:00translate.G6.com says:

CDC- m...EP- [grits teeth] will you <i>stop</i> that?? ;-)<br /><br />CDC- my rule for determining a girl's high based on her shidduch resume: if it says she is above average height, add two inches. If it says she is below average, subtract two inches. So a girl who claims to be 5'6" is actually 5'8". And a girl who claims to be 5'2" is actually 5 feet. :-D<br /><br />G6- that would be hilarious if I read it in a novel. Being that it's the truth, it brings to mind something I read on the debate over whether or not there is intelligent life on other planets. The answer was "sometimes I'm not sure if there is intelligent life on ANY planet..."<br /><br />WE- sigh. yep. <br /><br />Yehuda- I also wrote this when I was literally half asleep (I actually fell asleep in middle and finished in the morning) so mistakes don't shock me. But thanks for pointing that out. :-)<br />And sadly, you are mislead. The girl doesn't describe herslef, and the paragraph doesn't always describe her. A friend of mine with a bunch of older sisters told me that they all used the exact same personality paragraph. It COULD be useful tho. Shame it isn't....<br /><br />Anon- exactly. I am too anivusdik to make a shidduch resume. <br /><br />Anon- compared to me, marry poppins was totally imperfect. <br /><br />FSF- rofl. But it's hard to tell. I mean, my father has a full head of hair and my 27 year old brother is going bald. <br /><br />MIM- if he doesn't it shows that his wife is a lousy cook.Something Differenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225114844104235510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-87910785214787492672009-06-02T23:02:07.781-04:002009-06-02T23:02:07.781-04:00Frum Single Female
