Opinion

Dear Goldy:

You don’t know me, and I don’t know you, but I read your column and figured this was the perfect place to say what I have to say. And this is directed to all my “friends and acquaintances” and those who “mean well” when talking to my parents.

Dear Goldy:

 I have gone out with someone a few times. This may be too soon to ask or to discuss, but at some point, it should be. And maybe someone else has a similar situation, so this could help others. Who knows if I’ll still be dating him by the time the email is published (please publish it).

Two letters about the same topic from different perspectives.

Dear Goldy:

 This letter is going to make me sound horrible, but I’m really not. I’m just worried and being realistic.

Dear Goldy:

Years ago, I dated someone I really liked. He didn’t “feel it,” and stopped seeing me. We went our separate ways; he found his “bashert” and had a family. I kept dating and working on myself: I lost weight, got Lasik surgery, etc.

Dear Goldy:

 I’m not a shadchan because I can’t devote a lot of time to it. Baruch Hashem, I have a full life with my job, family, etc. But several years ago, I set up my cousin with my husband’s friend. Baruch Hashem, things worked out, and they are married with a family of their own. It happened three more times over the years. It’s people that I know or are connected with.
