Shidduch dating can be very awkward « Frum Satire: The Rantings of A Frum Yid With A Warped Perspective

Shidduch dating can be very awkward « Frum Satire: The Rantings of A Frum Yid With A Warped Perspective: "Awkward Shidduch moments:
Initial Phone Call: In the yeshivish world the phone call lasts about 10 minutes and is a courtesy and logistics call. In my world the phone call can last up to 3 hours and can seem like a date. The problem with long phone calls, is that you build up this picture in your head and the long phone calls are always with girls who you end up being very unattractive.
Every time I make the first phone call, I hope for an answering machine, then they have to call me – cant explain that feeling but it’s a good one. Either way, I used to get very nervous during the first few minutes, no idea why, just did. One day that nervousness ended, but its been replaced by awkwardness, of the bad kind – because you don’t get to watch them in their moment."
