The "Final Date"

Shemos

I chose exactly, what I should wear.
Not too conservative, but not too much flair.

I tried to look pleasant, and not uptight.
Praying for once, this would turn out right.

Be witty and interesting, don't say something wrong.
Don't come on too weak, don't come on too strong.

We went out to a restaurant, and before long I discovered.
This date was turning out, like a lot of others.

Well I guess the date, went "OK".
We found we had some things in common, a few things to say.

Another date recorded, in my date history.
Just what went wrong, is a mystery.

Shidduch dating isn't always, a walk in the park.
Sometimes it is more like banging into furniture, in the dark.

My shadchan once again: "I could set you up again ... who knows maybe this will be the one ... and  then again what is ... I mean worst comes to worst....
"Talk to them once before the date, first things first."

So we e-mailed,  then talked, then set up the date.
I can't show up to early, mustn't show up too late.

No go again! I put my head, on my good friend's shoulder.
The one in whom I always confide, that I'm getting older.

But don't get stuck in the here and now, never get depressed.
Even though the way things look to you now, your life seems like a mess.

Have faith that you will find that special someone, for whom you  pray.
Even though it may take a lot of dating, to get to that day.

And one day while riding, on the train.
Or while looking out, into a cool misty rain.

Or on that one day when you're out with someone, and you find. 
'He or she  is not really right for me, but we had a nice time!'

At that time you will keep your eye - not on a date that didn't work out - but on that "final date".
Who will be your partner through life, and your soul mate.

There was a man named Moshe, Rabbeinu who was on a journey to save his nation.
The journey, the purpose, of creation.

There would be obstacles, setbacks, and things wouldn't happen over night.
But Moshe knew eventually, things would turn out right.

Moshe attitude was he must focus on Yetzias Mitzrayim, keeping his "eye on the prize".
Moshe's attitude is also a great one for shidduch dating, one must realize.

Whether it is your cousin, friend from seminary, or the guy who used to learn with your brother.
May all us singles meet  their zivug, one with the other.
