"He said yes, and you know, he's very picky, so blah blah blah . . ."
The rest of her conversation layered it on that I should be so flattered that I should agree to a date right then and there.
"OK, I'll call you back."
"But—but—he's picky!"
Why do shadchanim find it a compliment to tell me that the guy is "picky"? That this modest gal passed his criteria with flying colors?
For a girl to be "picky" is flaw of the highest caliber; why would a shadchan glowingly inform me that he has deigned to treat me to coffee?
"Oh, my goodness gracious, he's picky? And he wants to go out with little-old-me? I do declare, I may faint clear away! Someone catch me!"
Just for clarification: yes, that was sarcasm.

I'm not sure if that's going to catch on the way you hope, but you can try! :)
That is exactly how i feel.
the sarcasm was blatantly clear
Who did you have to piss off to get that much spam?! :)
Well you could always bring that attitude to the date.
"Well my gosh and goodness, you should know I'm, like, soooooooo flattered that a discerning man like you would, like, want to, like, met a humble girl like, like, me. I guess I don't have to worry about, like, my credit rating, like, okay?"
I actually burst out laughing while reading that southern bit at the end :)
Funnily enough, I actually have to work on my credit rating . . .
