I just reread the post and I am relieved to see that I may have misunderstood it.

I thought the friend was asked while dating, as in ON A DATE. Hence my post.

But now I think the OP meant while dating, as in while in the parsha, meaning before the date. BH.
That's how I understood it as well. I hope that it's the second option. :-\

Does that mean most of my comments aren't even understood here?

R' Reuvein Feinstein was once speaking to a group of talmidim who were all dating for at least a little while. He asked them what they talk about when dating, most of them answered that they talk about the "important" things like hashkafa etc. He asked if any of them discuss if they squeeze the toothpaste tube from the bottom or the middle, and most of them laughed like it's a funny joke. He then told them that these are the important things to discuss because these are the things that can ruin a marriage.

A few years later one of those boys went over to R' Reuvein to tell him that he saved his marriage. He had gotten married and he is the neater one in the house. One day he comes in and things are pretty messy and he was upset about it, then he walked into the bathroom and stuff were left out all over the vanity, then he sees the toothpaste squeezed from the middle. He was about to throw a fit and he remembered "the shmuz" and burst out laughing...

There was a build up and this was about to put him over the top, but remembering how he considered it to be so insignificant back then made him realize it wasn't such a big deal.
Either way, the issue was not the toothpaste but the build-up. Such build-ups can happen over any type of issue, significant or not, but it is almost never the issue itself but rather how it is dealt with that creates the problems.

This has go to be the craziest question ever
I know someone that was asked about a boy, they wanted to know “what would he do, if he was walking in the desert and came across a dead body”.
 I was talking to the person that was asked this question and we were debating what the questioner was trying to figure out. We couldn’t figure it out.
Some options were
a)would he walk by and pretend he never saw anything and leave it for the next guy to worry about
B)would he do the right thing when no ones looking
C) would he freak out and faint?

Your thoughts

This

Intense girl is grilling the boy the entire date. On the way home, she continues her farher.
"Tell me," she asks. "What's the difference between din and yashrus?"
He thinks for a second and then answers.
"Mi'tzad hadin, I should drop you off right here. Yashrus is that I drive you home."

This definitely beats the time I got asked, "If he got a flat tire, what would he do?"

In answer to that question, I might say, "Oh, that actually happened. When I found him, he was standing over the body with blood dripping off his hands and he was muttering, 'that should teach her not to ask weird  shidduch questions.'"

A word of instruction: I have given information countless times, and I consider myself a professional at highlighting people's positive attributes without lying. I can give precise information about what type of person the boy is, in the most positive light. For example, "Yes, he's a really serious learner, but he's the type who will be a good husband and make sure to be home for his wife during bain hasdarim," (read: not a major masmid), or "I was his chavrusah and he was always there before me" (please don't ask me what time I came...).

Now to the story:
I once got a call from someone seeking information about a friend of mine. During the course of the conversation, I mentioned that my friend, while he was a serious learner who learned the whole day, had a talent for computers, and he even gave a small computer course at night once a week.

The person who called me for the information started to lecture me that I should be careful what I say about people, because I could turn people off by providing such information!

I feel like this is one of those dumb brain teasers.

Q. What would he do, if he was walking in the desert and came across a dead body. And the murderer was now coming towards him.

A. He would use the mace to fend of the attacker...

Somehow reminds me of this one:


Test to see if you're a real photographer

Imagine you're walking through a forest and you come across a perfect scene: an idyllic lake surrounded by perfect meadow, mist rising off its surface, birds chirping... but there's a man drowning.

You could only choose one: take a picture or save the man's life.

What lens do you use?

Reminds me of an experience that someone told me:
He was suggested someone that wanted him to fill out a questionnaire before they went out.
One question was to the gist of: if someone was an immediate life threat to someone in your immediate family, would you kill them?
And if so, how?
He answered yes, with my hands :)
He said they went out 2 or 3 times, after which she told him that her parents got engaged after going out that many times.
He said "well I'm not ready" and that was the end of that.

#1 - a friend of mine was asked this question when he was dating
Um, without getting too graphic or devolving this conversation further, can you say how/what he answered?

I don't recall what (or if) he answered, He asked them why?  I assumed that it had to do with reproduction (there was an article that had come out around then that said briefs reduce sperm count), but he was told 'Boxers are more yeshivish'
