Shidduch pitches made by people you probably don’t know and know nothing about you, all start the same way. Here is my list of starting lines:
Parents Friends: Your son would be so perfect for our niece…
Kiddush: Are you as serious about finding your bashert as you are about the cholent…
Old Ladies: Oh my granddaughter is so sweet…
Rebetzins: So vut do you vant?
Newlyweds: I have some friends; tell me your stats…
Old Men: You should speak to my daughter, she knows tons of people…
Shabbos Table: Normal conversation and then a long drawn out Soooo…
Professional Shadchun: Nu give me the rundown…
Hotels(usually someone sitting in the lobby waiting for kids): You seem like a great guy…
Shull: I noticed that you didn’t have a sheitle/talis on…
Weddings-Simchas: Hey you see that girl over there…
Friend’s wife: I have some great friends who are still single…
Work: I meant to ask, are you seeing anybody…
