so surprised how much i enjoy the show
i am puzzled how many of the participants
expect to or want to feel “turned on” by those they meet. and my question to them is how did that method of picking a partner work for you in the past? how much time did the sexy partner get before s/he became a jerk?
if by a number of dates there’s not even an inkling of romance, re-evaluate.
43 yrs ago my husband called me for a date and reminded me we had met at a graduate school party. i did not remember him and i said so. he skipped over that and invited me to a baseball game. (most people have watched enough sports to get that there is a ball, usually, and you keep your eye on it and i actually liked baseball )That was an excellent first date—focus on the game a little on each other a little.
Had i remembered him from the aforementioned party —vaguely as i watched him walking up the sidewalk to my apartment. i did notice that his clothes were wrinkled —a minor distraction. within a month the deal was signed sealed and ready to deliver to the huppah —-two years later
one helpful trait both of us seemed to have was to be oblivious to what each of us thought were our own detriments
i am 71 and married to my besherit for 41 yrs. a new (young) friend saw our wedding picture and commented that she never would have recognized us from our appearance now! i told my husband and we both laughed—each of us thinks we look exactly like that 41 yr old photo.
our courtship is a long, sometimes difficult story (i was not born Jewish—now i have been living almost twice as many years as a Jew).
