This story still makes me kinda mad today. Besides common courtesy, it's just plain weird!
This shidduch was suggested by someone very near and dear so I trusted them. It just proves that my rule from the "Pinch-Penny" post isn't fool-proof.
The shadchan said the guy was a bit shy. On the day he told the shadchan (Let's call him "A") he wanted to go out I told "A" to give the guy my number so we could work the details out. A few minutes later "A" called me back and said the guy didn't want to talk on the phone and that this was the time he wanted to pick me up. "What do you mean he doesn't want to talk on the phone?! If he doesn't talk to women on the phone how can he date them?" I argued.
"Look, he's shy, blah blah blah" (insert your own creative excuses).
I said "I'm not going out with a guy who refuses to talk to me on the phone! That's ridiculous!"
And then came the usual pressure, only this time from all possible sides. He's a great guy, don't judge him, he's shy, whatever.
And because I was still a good, accomodating woman, I agreed begrudgingly.
The guy said maybe 10 words the whole date. I guess he was worried about running out of words on the phone and that's why he didn't want to talk.
Any bets on whether there was a second date?
