he should borrow or rent a car. One should always park
the car and come to her front door, unless it was stated
otherwise that she will meet you outside. If you are
coming to the front door and meeting the parents,
prepare yourself for that meeting by finding out a few
obvious things: what kind of people are they? What do
they do for a living? Etc. Are they going to quiz you on
the parsha? What are they expecting?
With regard to the girl who is being picked up for
the date, she should be very cognizant of being on time
so that the boy does not have to wait for her. If the boy
is coming to your front door, one should empty the
driveway in order that the boy can park his car in the
driveway to avoid having him circle around the block
numerous times looking for a parking spot.
C. Conversation
On the first date, it is not appropriate to discuss
potentially contentious or deep topics, including
hashkafa, where to live, and so forth. The first date is to
determine compatibility. It is important to make sure
that your hashkafos are well-matched, but it is not a
topic that should be strongly questioned during a first
date.
As discussed previously, do your homework
before a date so that you better understand the person’s
likes/dislikes, hobbies, etc. You should know certain
sensitive material so that you do not offend the person
on your date. For example, do not make a joke about
divorced people if they have divorced parents
