I checked the website Eater for its Heat Map, which includes new, tasty restaurants in the city. First I texted four friends who travel and eat out a lot and whose judgment I trust. Let’s look at how I do things, maybe with a slightly less important decision, like the time I had to pick where to eat dinner in Seattle when I was on tour last year. That’s how my dad decided on the person with whom he was going to spend the rest of his life. Happily so-and probably more so than most people I know who had nonarranged marriages. A week later, they were married.Īnd they still are, 35 years later. He quickly deduced that she was the appropriate height (finally!), and they talked for about 30 minutes. The first girl, he said, was “a little too tall,” and the second girl was “a little too short.” Then he met my mom. I asked my dad about this experience, and here’s how he described it: he told his parents he was ready to get married, so his family arranged meetings with three neighboring families. I am perpetually indecisive about even the most mundane things, and I couldn’t imagine navigating such a huge life decision so quickly.
