On your twenty something birthday, each of them offers to set you up with someone they both call “perfect for you”. The question now becomes do you take the yeshivish offer, or the modern orthodox route. It's now your shidduch adventure, You Decide.

If you want to go out with the yeshivish girl, begin below. If you like the Modern Orthodox girl, start by clicking Here

1. Dental Records, along with father's tax-returns, are faxed in triplicate

2. After verifying that her mother only uses white silk tablecloths on Shabbat and only wears European 100% human hair sheitels, you agree to go out.

3. You spend the first phone conversation discussing what she will do to support you while you learn for the rest of your life. She sounds like she's into it. You might have to wear your coolest date shirt….i.e., the shabbos shirt with the stripes.

4. You take her to the airport. She knows who Rashi is (the wine of course) and she isn't bothered by the four calls you get on your cell phone- your mother, chevrusa, shadchan and bookie- in that order. Guess working at HASC all those summers may have finally paid off.

5. The first date ends with her telling you about her 'Daddy's' sponsored kiddush for finishing Shaas a 3rd time. Don't like her? Continue on to step 6. Do you like her? Go to step Step 7.

6. Call the shadchan back and explain that she's a very nice girl but the “chemistry” (whatever that is) wasn't there. Have your mother mark off her name from the dating graph she keeps on a large piece of oaktag in her walk-in closet. Now get back to scoping out potential propects on onlysimchas.com, I mean learning.

7. Call the shadchan and explain that it wasn't bad for a first date. Tell the shadchan you'll call her again.

8. Call the girl again. This time you try to figure out if she understands that sometimes night seder includes field trips. Be very vague about what these field trips might include.

9. Second date. You take her to Coney Island, behind the Toy R' Us. She talks a little about the travel agent she works for. You think this might work out.

10. Didn't like her enough for a Round #2? Go to step 6 . Did like her? Go to step 11 .

11. Call the shadchan and explain that you liked her again and you want to start discussing deals with her father. You let your father know and he begins to strategize with your uncles on your worth.

12. Take the girl out a third time. This time you remember her name. She asks what kind of watches you like. You ask her what kind of jewelery she likes to wear. This is the farthest you've ever gone with a girl.

13. You go with your friend Bentzy's father to pick out a diamond bracelet for the girl. His friend Mikey has a whole crate of Tiffany boxes he got one summer when he worked for a printer. She won't know the difference.

14. You propose at Le Marais. The cake says “Will you marry me ?” Your younger sister got the idea from onlysimchas.com.

The Modern Orthodox gal is waiting for you, begin your dating adventure here:

1. Your roommate from college's cousin looks cute in a picture. You ask him what she's up to.

2. Turns out she's in New York this summer for an internship before she heads back to Brandeis for her last year of graduate school.

3. You call her. She knows who Dr. Drew is plus she knows how to learn Gemara. But she doesn't expect you to. Things are looking good.

4. Your first date you take her to Darna. She's funny, witty and even cuter than her picture. You wonder if she's shomer.

5. At the end of the date she gives you a big smile and says “I had a great time. Thank you so much.” You start picturing how to ask her cousin about the shomer thing
