Shalom alecheim.
How's it going guys? S'been a while since I logged in to Gaia. Doubt I'll be around for too much longer, as I do tend to forget this site even exists. xD
Have I missed anything good? Anything bad?
For myself, life's good. Just moved. Dating a nice, quirky, Jewish girl (okay, not practicing, by Jew by birth). No official job, though. sad

It's good to hear from you again, DD. Nothing's happening, which is really a relief for me right now, as I've got a lot on my plate. On the down side, there's not much conversation, but I'm sure it'll pick back up when the weather turns colder and people are spending less time outdoors playing. When the homework procrastination season gets into full swing again, I'm sure it'll be hopping in here. smile

Call Me Apple Dis Domnu Lol this thread is old. The girl and I are engaged now. Is this quick for Jews? I mean you were dating in September, 7 months later engaged? In my community, that's a REALLY long time. I know couples who've been married ten, twenty, fifty years, after three to four (chaperoned, of course) dates. When you know you're looking specifically for marriage, and when you and those closest to you are looking into the qualities of your prospective spouse to find commonalities of goals/values/observance/hopes/dreams, it tends to go more quickly than secular dating. That's because secular dates are usually just for kicks, and it's easy for one person to say "I'm into you, let's take the next step" while the other is still saying "I like hanging out with you, but why change what we already have?" Personally, I was introduced to Mr. Divash when we were both looking towards building a future with someone. We had one very short date -- a layover in an airport for me, and for Mr. Divash, a meet-up in an airport to walk me from one gate to another. Then we had a longer visit together (we didn't live near one another) a few months later (I stayed with a local woman, so yes, it was proper). The next time we met in person was when I flew in to live here for good. It's been working out pretty nicely for the last 12 years, so you can see how well the system works.

I see, this is how it is in Islam too. But for Christians, they do the whole "try it before you buy it" type of thing. I prefer the chaperoned approach.

Mazel tov!
Hello again everybody! Long story short my beloved laptop has currently been sent away for fixing and I'm on an old computer (no, really- terribly old) one that still had my JGG bookmark, so figured I'd say hello too.
Hope things are going well for everybody- it's nice to see some of the same faces again.
EDIT: Oh wow. It's bizarre to see and read through some of these posts again and see how things have changed. Rush of nostalgia.
