“It sounds like you don’t know how to evaluate if the boy you’re meeting is a good fit for you”
Everyone was attracted to Shira’s personality She was always laughing, always positive.
“But I’m not a flake,” she reminded me, her smile taking any edge off her words. “I just love being with people.”
There was something else about Shira that stood out. Hashem had blessed her with a natural beauty. She had striking blue eyes and jet-black hair, and a perpetual glowing white smile.
So why was Shira 25 and still single?
I was surprised that Shira seemed to know the answer. “I love meeting new people, I love making new friends, I just connect easily with everyone I meet.” She twisted some hair around her finger. “I’ll tell you what happens. I always say no after the first date. It’s like I’m afraid to let it develop. I just feel like, how do I know who’s right for me? I like everyone, everyone likes me. So I just say no.”
