Choose wisely

The last Mishnah in Masechet Taanit says, "There were no holidays so joyous for the Jewish People as the Fifteenth of Av and Yom HaKippurim, for on those days, daughters of Yerushalayim would go out dressed in borrowed white clothing (so that they would all look the same).
The King's daughters would borrow from those of the High Priest. Daughters of the High Priest would borrow from the Assistant High Priest's daughters; daughters of the Assistant would borrow from the daughters of the Priest designated to lead the People in times of War, the Kohen Anointed for War's daughters would borrow from the daughters of the Ordinary Priest. And the daughters of the rest of the Jewish People would borrow from each other, so as not to embarrass those who didn't have."
"And the daughters of Jerusalem would go out and dance in the vineyards located on the outskirts of the city. And everyone who didn't have a wife would go there."...
..."And what would they say?"
"Young man, lift up your eyes and choose wisely. Don't look only at physical beauty - look rather at the family - 'For charm is false, and beauty is vanity. A G-d - fearing woman is the one to be praised...' ("Mishlei"/Proverbs 31:30)"

This morning Ynet published an article titled Marriage proposal gone wrong: Ring falls off cliff.
Yes, it's sad that the ring might be lost forever, but, the article didn't say whether the bride accepted. If she did, then it certainly wasn't a marriage proposal gone wrong but a cause of great rejoicing.
Nowadays, the shidduch problem is recognized as a large scale one. So, on Tu B'Av and all through the year, let's do our bit to alleviate the problem. Let's think of a shidduch and make a suitable suggestion to a single friend.
And parents, make sure to ask the right questions.
Hamodia conducted an interview with Devorah Goldstein, who became famous after the book titled The Bamboo Cradle was published.
When asked about shidduchim, Ms. Goldstein said the following.
"And when we look into prospective mechutanim, we won't ask if they use paper or plastic dishes. We will ask: Are they parents who go to pick up their children when they need a ride? Are they the kind of parents who avoid machlokes? Do they have a happy Shabbos seudah? There are the things that really matter."
May we merit to dance at many simchos this year.
