I wasn't shown the exit, I just wasn't shown the entrance. ;)
Anyway, it's very common for people to look for people of their own religious affiliation, race, or what-have-you when sizing up someone for a relationship. That's not racism, it's just an effort to establish compatibility. The only reason I was a little surprised is that such selectiveness is less common for simple barroom hookups…
It would've been different if she was interviewing me for a job…

well, you were commenting on Dr Doom's rejection (who was so generous as to share the story with us), didn't occur to me that this was a one-day street… but no worries if you'd rather not share, t'is indeed rather personal a question. i was just checking for a pot/kettle dichotomy… :)

Betty, great story!
I must tell you that I'm shocked that a
Jewish mother would overreact to something that didn't concern her, start screaming and butt into everybody else's business. Seems so unlike most Jewish mothers I've met.
