The Singles' Weekend - Part 2a, Friday night
So where were we?
Oh yeah, Friday night.
After everyone checked in (which was not an easy task as Shabbos was 4:30 and most people didn’t arrive until 3:45 because of, you know, JOBS) and got ready for Shabbos (“is this tie going to get me the girls or this one? This one? Ok, let’s go daven now”), we headed down to the makeshift shul. I don’t really think there was much equality going on there, because the women’s side had much more room; so much so that men just started drifting there not to look at girls, but just so they could breathe.
Then came dinner. The tables were pre-arranged based on a number of qualifiers. Four girls and four guys per table.
Were you expecting any more qualifiers than that? Sorry.
Anyway, each table had a designated couple for “facilitating”, which is a good idea. We had a nice meal and everyone went around the table introducing themselves. The organizers of the event even borrowed a long-standing UWS tradition and put a kind of game on the table so that everyone could get involved. Not as personal as a traditional UWS game (“if you were an animal, what kind would you be?”), but it got people talking.
We then had a pretty good shiur about, you know, dating, then moved on to the main event of the weekend – the round robins!
More to come soon – I know, I know, the wait is killing me too.
