Daughter starting to date Thank you so much for this series. I was not raised in an observant family, was pretty secular when dating. Now that my daughter just turned twenty, I am so glad I read this series before she starts to date. I had no idea just how far secular dating is from our current life, and I really don't have anyone to explain it. So thank you for opening my eyes and helping me be a much better guide to my beautiful, beloved daughter.

I feel this article is tremendously disrespectful Dear Mrs. Avraham: While there is nothing wrong with reccomending women follow halacha about dating, it is tremendously rude and foolish to think that because a man has a mitzvoh to marry, he has to marry a certain woman. A bashert is the other half of your neshama, not the first one you see. Any shatchan I have spoken to recognizes a man's right to be interested or not interested in a given woman he dates, just as she is. He has a chiyuv to marry, she doesn't. But he has no chiyuv to marry HER
