    88. Making Matches While Waiting for His Own

    In this episode Rachel is joined by her first ever repeat guest, her friend Natan! You may remember Natan from his episode, What a Guy Would do for a Blonde, and although he is still single, he has been keeping very busy finding matches for others. Over the past two years, Natan has made five shidduchim (with a sixth in progress). What sets him apart is that he truly understands singles and how they think — not the old-school, out-of-touch approach. He runs the R and N Shidduch Chat along with his aunt and a few friends, a modern Orthodox group for 20s and 30s  with over 5,000 members. Natan gives Rachel and Shticky Situation Nation an inside look into running the group and what it’s really like to be a Shadchan while still being single. This is definitely an episode you don't want to miss!
