Yated Shidduch Forum 5/17/19: Should I Be Talking To My Friends About Dating?
Question:
Is it okay to speak to my roommates or other friends about my dates? Sometimes, I feel like they just “get it” more than my parents do. Also, if they ever went out with the person I was redd to, they may be able to save me from a bad date. What do you feel?
Yated Shidduch Forum 5/10/19: Should My Son Get Braces Before He Starts Dating?
Question:
Dear Shadchanim,
My son will be starting shidduchim sometime next year. While we are aware that looks and appearance are second to middos, I would like him to get Invisalign/braces to better enhance his features. Our dentist never felt that he needed braces, and though he has a beautiful smile, and his teeth are all straight, I want to correct some of his open spaces. My son, on the other hand, doesn’t feel that cosmetic dentistry is necessary. Is it a benefit or is it overkill?

Yated Shidduch Forum 4/19/19: Can I Use My Cell Phone While On a Date?
Question:
Is there any place or time during a date, from the time the boy arrives at the girl’s house till he drops her off, that it is acceptable for either the boy or girl to be checking their cell phone for voicemails, text messages, WhatsApps and the like?
My thought process is that while the boy is driving, it is rude for the girl to be looking at her phone.
In the hotel or lounge, the focus should be on each other, in my opinion, and phones should be on silent.
Phones, I feel, should literally remain untouched throughout a date – or should they? What’s your opinion?
