What Would You Do If… Moderated by Jennifer Mann, LCSW of The Navidaters
Dear Navidaters,
Hi, my daughter is 21 years old. She’s been in shidduchim for over a year now. Over the past year, we’ve contacted over fifty shadchanim (I’m literally not exaggerating), and none on those shadchanim responded or even tried to make an effort to set her up. All they did was ask for her
resume and picture and afterwards there was no response whatsoever. My daughter is a very gifted and refined young lady; she’s beautiful, she’s highly educated, and her middos are simply remarkable. I don’t understand why those shadchanim are not setting her up or responding to any of her calls or texts. Am I just contacting the wrong shadchanim? I’m really frustrated and not sure what to do at this point. I would greatly appreciate your input on this matter. Thank you!
