I actually complained to them that the shadchans were setting me up specifically with people I said I didn’t want to be set up with. One lady from the ‘main office’ called me and YELLED at me about how she and the other shadchans are professionals and clearly know what is suitable for me, more than I do, and I should be adjusting the kind of people I want to date to be the kind of people they are setting me up with! I was really surprised by that one!
I’m so lucky there are trained professionals to tell me how wrong I am, and how foolish. All this time, I thought I knew what I wanted, my list honed from years of dating, but I just lacked proper guidance! Thank you SYAS for showing me the light!!!

This actually sounds like fun to me, let’s say you live in NY and the girl lives in LA so you meet at the airport in Omaha. I think I could have way more fun in an airport than at a starbucks or hotel lounge.

…You know the repertoire of episodes of Chabad’s Rebbe-vision played at Casbah because many a date has been spent looking at the Rebbe doing his signature wave instead of looking at your date.

…You no longer get pissed off when you find out your mom has secretly been pimping you out to “nice-looking people” she randomly meets around town.

…You check only simchas 4 times a day while eating a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food.

…You can stroll through the Met blindfolded and still not trip over a single Renaissance artifact.

…You are considering patenting an app displaying all the normal members of the opposite sex within a 50 mile radius.

…You channel all your pent up sexual frustrations into food, having really deep, graphic, lustful conversations about offerings at kosher restaurants to sublimate your sinful, gashmiusdik urges.

…You try to tell yourself you’re satisfied, and your whole community tells you you’re not. Aaaahhhh!!!!!!!
