What will a girl think if I take off my hat? I get super sweatty but if i dont wear it will she think Im not yeshivish?
I am the type of guy who wears a hat in the street but not wearing a hat while sitting in the lobby would only mean youre normal, because youre sitting with some one for 2 hours. most people I know take their hat off by dates. look around a typical lobby where there are a few dates and most are not wearing hats.

Take off once you’re sitting down

I have a shidduch in mind for one of my friends but would like to redt it anonymously. Is there any way I can do it ? (are there any shadchanim who are willing to do the hard work ?
For sure! Shidduchim redt by close friends are often the most on-target ones. Try to find a shadchan whom you know to have a relationship/past experience with the boy, explain why you think it’s a terrific idea, and many shadchanim would be willing to suggest it as a “shidduch suggested by a friend who’d like to remain anonymous”. Hatzlacha!
