Test passed
Today I went out on a date with a guy I met on JCrush. There have been some red flags in our conversations, but I could tell it was partially a cultural thing, it was obvious English wasn’t his first language. And honestly? The red flags were that he was too nice/sweet, not scary stuff.
I sorta feel he deserves a shot at a second date, but I don’t think I’m going to give him that chance. We are just too different (he’s an athlete, I’m a geek.) That and he treated the waitress like shit, was disrespectful to me, and was super late (45 minutes.) He made the waitress (we were at a Jewish deli) worry about me, even checked on me when I went to the bathroom asking if I needed help to get away from this guy.
He is Israeli. Like born there and goes home for the High Holidays. He calls himself traditional, but said he is orthodox. He confused me in saying he doesn’t keep kosher then a few minutes later saying he does.
Apparently he is widening his search for someone to settle down with to include Conservative and Reform Jewish women. He stated that he prides himself in being able to separate out the “real Jewish women” from converts or goys. He did say that he thought Jewish women as a whole were too demanding with too high standards. :P Though, he said he would only date Jewish women because he is looking to settle down.
Towards the very beginning of the date I was honest with him about my being a convert, because I felt it was important and could be a deal breaker for him. He was shocked when I stated I was in the conversion process. He honestly thought that even with his “goy-dar” that I was culturally, born Jewish.
I took that as a point of pride, even if I question his “goy-dar” and wonder at his negative views of Jewish women.
