shmira nice line you have no idea how true it is
“I don’t think you should date a YU type guy. They’re like Gap clothes. Hip, but bland and predictible and somewhat phony.
Stick with the weirdos and you’ll eventually find a lovable one.”

Hey former YU Guy, I also haven’t been so much in the dating scene. I’ll be your friend.

She, you’re a queen.
From now on, if I feel like drinking tea, I’ll just slap myself and reach for my good friend Taster’s Choice.
I don’t think you are totally unspiritual, it’s just that some of your dates are so corny. all the “listen to Creation” stuff. Cliches that you’re supposed to get rid of in kita yud-bet after reading Herman Hesse and feeling your stupid epiphany.
Anyway I’m still smiling over your comment. Thx : )

What am I looking for? hmmmm.
I can write a whole list here, including some rather important things regarding the guy’s IQ and the ability to cope with disasters, but I suppose it all really adds up to one thing.
I’d be more than happy to find ONE guy who measures up to any of my secular friends.
Thats it.

(beb sweetie, this was for you )

Boy, this comment section is turning out better than Frumteens.com!
(Which, for those of you who don’t know, is THE discussion board for Jewish Internet viewers.)

damn I will never say anything bad about YU again. OK I think SHE should tell US what she wants. More so called “normal”? or more eclectic? My feeling is she likes eclectic and therefore gets set up with freaks. I used to have the same problem. And by the way C, most baalei teshuva are not “flipped out”. talk about sterotypes.

Whoah. I would like to explain what I meant by a “YU guy from New Jersey.” I was merely commenting on the fact that She seems repeatedly be set up with Ba’alei Teshuva who are not quite “there” yet.

When I suggested a YU guy from New Jersey, I simply meant someone with a more mainstream, normal developed concept of Jewishiness. From reading her site, She seems to be quite normal. She (She) does not come across as the typical flipped-out Ba’alas Teshuvah. It seems that She is being set up with individuals that are part of the “newly-frum” community, since She is a also a Ba’alas Teshuvah. I was merely suggesting that She try and get setup with more “normal” people. She (She) might have better luck.

That being said, I did not mean to put NY/NJ/YU on a pedastal. I am not from New York, nor can I stand being there for more than a few hours. I did go to YU, and appreciate the diversity and normalcy of the general student body there. That is why I suggested, “or the Israeli equivalent,” meaing, if there is something like YU in Israel, where the guys are normal and religious, then perhaps She should try and meet guys from those crowds.

Anyway, good luck She. Whatever path you choose, there you are.
