Yated Shidduch Forum 11/8/19: How Do I Cultivate a Meaningful Relationship During Dating?

Question:

In the dating process, how does one turn a superficial, casual relationship into a real, deep, close one? I dated someone for a while and really liked him, but my biggest concern was that our relationship was hardly deeper or more personal on the 7th date than it was on the 2nd. I felt that I did not know much more about this young man and there was almost no point in continuing.

One of the problems could be that I am a more private person, so I have a difficult time opening up and revealing my thoughts to others. 

Any tips for the next time I go out? 

Thank you. 

Yated Shidduch Forum 11/1/19: Breach of Confidentiality?

Question:
I have heard lately that along with the growing use of “shidduch groups” to network and share résumés and information about singles for shidduchim, there has developed a situation whereby many singles who meet a shadchan privately end up getting posted and mass shared without having granted permission. When they find out, they are very unhappy, but powerless to do anything, since by that point their information is already out there. What steps would you recommend a single take to ensure that their information doesn’t get mass shared without permission?
