Fixing the gauge on a rusting out Chevy Venture with 150K miles on it? Heck no.
But eventually I had a good formula for highway miles and city miles to know when to fill.
A friend once told me, he wishes he had a car, just to be able to utilize the free gas deals...
You must be missing these days...

It certainly is funny that so many of our first dates are in hotels. We don't waste any time  ;D
This is going back many years. A friend of mines father was telling his non-Jewish co-worker that his daughter was going on her first date that night. “Where’s he taking her?” asked the co-worker. “ To a hotel”, he replied. “Abe, on the first date? And your ok with that?”

I can't believe this is real, there is no way anyone would actually do that.

It’s quite true. I called the shadchan after because I felt it was my duty to get the guy some help, but I didn’t reach her and never tried again 😳

You remind me of one of my daughter's dates.  He filled up on gas after  he picked her up - late. It showed that he's unprepared.  Not a good trait.

I had this as well. Guy shows up on first date and I noticed that his gas light was on. I naively assumed the gauge was broken because who would come to a date with their light on? But a while later he casually pulled into a gas station saying he needs gas.

Then the same thing happened on the third date.... at which point I gathered that he was rather spaced out.

Incorrect. It would be "guys who drive Teslas"

Don’t get sidetracked. The ikar is to request that from your matchmaking professional.

that was me. you dont rememeber me? :P
but fyi my gas gauge in my old car was broken and it said empty even when i filled it up so i didnt believe it was empty. I'm very not the late unprepared type-like to a fault. which is why it was so shocking
This was bound to happen.
Its gonna happen for real.

I guess I'm good I drive a Tesla and it is extremely clean. I've never eaten in it once.

And I could just use a supercharger station as a date spot  ;)

Here is another one... Not as classic as my first one but hashgacha pratis..

You know how kids are curious & come sneaking down the stairs to peek whats going on.. One time I was meeting this girl for the first time & her siblings start coming down the stairs quietly smiling & trying to hold back laughter.. kids acting like kids.. she realized them & starting screaming go back upstairs!! THANK GOD THAT HAPPENED! (I am thinking.. get me out of here) Because later on a few years later I was speaking to a friend of mine whos brother got engaged to her & he mentioned that they dropped the shidduch & she ended up going totally off the religious path.. completely.. became some model for pictures/companies etc.

--

One more, this about my great grandfather who grew up in Vienna.. One time he went up to an. apt where a shidduch was mentioned (pre war) and he hears SCREAMING coming out of that apt.. fighting etc... So he didnt know what to do.. Knock in.. wait...  :) anyways after a while he knocks in & gets a big shalom aleichem like nothing was going on... since then he felt he couldnt trust anyone.
