Dating Today

Dear Goldy:

Years ago, I dated someone I really liked. He didn’t “feel it,” and stopped seeing me. We went our separate ways; he found his “bashert” and had a family. I kept dating and working on myself: I lost weight, got Lasik surgery, etc.

Dear Goldy:

 I’m not a shadchan because I can’t devote a lot of time to it. Baruch Hashem, I have a full life with my job, family, etc. But several years ago, I set up my cousin with my husband’s friend. Baruch Hashem, things worked out, and they are married with a family of their own. It happened three more times over the years. It’s people that I know or are connected with.

Dear Goldy:

 I have gone out with someone a few times. This may be too soon to ask or to discuss, but at some point, it should be. And maybe someone else has a similar situation, so this could help others. Who knows if I’ll still be dating him by the time the email is published (please publish it).

Dear Goldy:

I’ve been dating someone. He’s a good catch. He’s well mannered, speaks well, always asks my opinion, he calls when he says he will, etc. A friend dated him, and one of my mother’s friend’s daughters did. I spoke with my friend and the other girl when the shidduch was redt. My friend had great things to say about him, except that he was the one to end their relationship a few weeks into it. She was disappointed. The ex-wife didn’t really say anything. I tried, because I wanted to know who I would be getting myself involved with, but she really didn’t give me anything. It was so frustrating.

Dear Goldy:

 This letter is going to make me sound horrible, but I’m really not. I’m just worried and being realistic.

Dear Goldy:

I haven’t been dating for years and years, but I’ve been dating for a time. I went out last week and we went to a lounge.
