Some Siyyata queries relate to those who are just beginning to go out on dates while others relate to issues relating to the ultimate selection of a spouse. Everybody realizes that they are about to make the most crucial decision of their lives.

Those who are already married and have a query about marital relationships should post their query to Jewish Spouses.

Parents who want to discuss issues relating to their children's dating should post the issues to Jewish Parenting.

Topics about dating that are raised on Siyyata include the following:

  • I�m afraid to get married. Is this normal?
  • Am I old enough to go out on dates?
  • Am I old enough to get married?
  • I would like to get married but my parents believe that I am too young. At what age should a person get married according to Jewish law?
  • My family is Chassidish, but I am dating a boy with a non-Chassidish background. Could this cause a problem?
  • I am Sephardi and I am dating an Ashkenazi. Is there a significant cultural difference? If so, could it cause a problem?
  • How do I know whether she is the right girl for me?
  • I am a happy person. I have found somebody who is perfect in every way except that he sometimes is very quiet or depressed. Will my own character change if I marry him?
  • What should I know before I go on dates?
  • I�m going out with a spectacular man/woman, but I am afraid that he/she will discover a skeleton in my closet. What should I do?
  • I heard that people change after they marry. I don't want to change. I like the way I am. How will I be affected by marrying a person who is different from me?
  • I want to select a school that will make me more eligible for marriage. However, the �right� school doesn�t match my taste.
  • I want to marry a certain boy, but I don't get along with his parents. What should I do?
  • I am not sure about marrying the person that I am dating. Can I join the Jewish Spouses group and ask them to share their more extensive experience with me?
  • I'm not sure I'm ready to settle down yet.
  • Does the Jewish law of respecting one�s parents apply to one�s in-laws as well?
  • I want to live in Israel but I am going out with someone who does not want to live there. Should I marry him/her?

Remember that under certain circumstances you may want to send a confidential message to Siyyata.
