The following is a discussion of Halachic topics related to dating in Washington Heights. For final rulings, consult your Rav.
BP must be shared with other couples, especially on Thursday nights. This is not a real date, and should not be counted in your total.
Strolling amicably in Fort Tryon park is optional only when temperatures on Shabbos are below 60°F. Other than that, no excuses are accepted, and violators will immediately have their dating privileges revoked.
Meal-makers are not required to invite both parties of a relationship, unless they are widely acknowledged as a "couple" (i.e., they are seen together at BP)
No interfaith dating allowed. Any Mt Sinai member caught loitering with a Breuer's person will be excommunicated immediately, and will no longer receive aliyot at the shul.
Men who are dating seriously should begin wearing taleisim after three months of dating, to indicate they are no longer "socially available".
When dating at a predominantly female building, such as 56 Bennett, or 590 Ft Washington, a male is permitted to pick up "the wrong girl" seen leaving the building, assuming the correct girl cannot recognize him later.
You cannot pick up food at Golan every night and continue counting that as a date; firstly, because it's not food, and secondly, because it's not really a date.
When you start "hanging out" with other couples for fun, you must inform your friends so they can officially write you off as a "hanging out" buddy.
Heights men who allow dating to stand in the way of playing sports may have their male status revoked without warning.
If asked how your date was by someone you barely know who glimpsed you together somewhere in the heights, either party is permitted to punch the questioner in the neck.
Laws of Dirty Food - What every girl shoulld know about the guy she's dating
Rule 1- Dry Foods
Any food of 'dry' character, if dropped on an indoor surface, such as a kitchen/dining room floor, may be reused if picked up within 5 seconds.
Said seconds are measured from the time the item is noticed to have been dropped.
On outdoor surfaces, or indoor surfaces which have not been cleaned in a dozen years (downstairs floor of an institution), the above rule is limited to a pickup occurring within 2.5 seconds.
Rule 2- Wet Foods
Any food of 'wet' character (ie- cheese, cut fruit, etc), may only be reused if the item is picked up within 2 seconds, and no party unfamiliar with these laws is in attendance at the time of the dropping.
If above food is dropped on outdoor surface, it may be reused only if said usage will involve cooking/baking/heating the object, which naturally cleanses it as well.
Rule 3- Liquids
Liquids may not be reused if dropped on any surface, but they also need not be cleaned up quickly, and may therefore function as a buffer if a food in categories one or two were to fall on top of the spill.
