Having lived through the Jewish dating scene and gone through my share of bad, and G-d awful dates , I thought it may be beneficial to bequeath some of my keen insights into translating dating terminology to the bangitout.com audience (the desperate galenas).

What they say: I really want to live in Israel.
What they mean: the shadchan said you really want to live there, and I

What they say: I learn at the West Side Kollel.
What they mean: I get drunk at the West Side Kollel on Friday nights
