In all these cases, the shadchan was very forthcoming and honest, I took their word on the girl as true - and they were right.<br /><br />I also recall several instances (especially with YU connects) where I did a TON of research after accepting a girl - waiting for her to also accept me - only to waste my time when she turned me down. <br /><br />So yes, we need to achieve some healthy medium of research and reference calling. For example, if more people suggested their ex-dates to friends (when it simply didn't work out, not because they were a psycho), the friend should be able to go out with that guy/girl without the need to resort to extensive phone calling. This would not only smooth out the process, it would help the "shiduch crisis" and prevent unwarranted discrimination against particular guys or girls because "my friend went out with him/her and it didn't work, so why should I go out with him/her?"Shades of Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733139852424935591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-62465473579395873262011-11-17T12:16:43.697-05:002011-11-17T12:16:43.697-05:00Wow, we both did Shidduch posts on the same day.

One guy called me as a reference for one of my best friends. He spent 45 minutes of my time asking ridiculous questions like "What is your friend's worst middah?". After that conversation, he proved to me that he wasn't at all for the friend in question!Elishevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00989268568072637614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-91396926801553510562011-11-16T10:35:07.027-05:002011-11-16T10:35:07.027-05:00It is a beautiful shade!

The two selling points for me were the texture (feels extremely creamy on) and visually it looks like you're wearing matte lipstick over the worlds best-moisturized, best-exfoliated lips, so there's no 'dry' appearance.

I'm for banning this concept of references. One guy called practically everyone I ever came in contact with. The date itself would have taken less effort. <br /><br />Anon: Matte? Anytime I hear "matte" I whip out my wallet - and the colors are so beautiful! Thanks for the recommendation!
