To Touch or Not to Touch?

      A short while ago I was set up on a blind date with an ultra orthodox girl a " Harediet"- to help asses the situation if i were a Muslim id be going out with a woman with a full Ninja outfit. Being open minded, I figured what the hell it's just a date, she was supposed to be pretty and basically that's the only thing that matters to be honest. I picked her up and realized that she is "Shomer Negiyia" meaning she wouldn't touch no hand shake, kiss on the cheek etc... I made do with the air handshake - she wasn't amused. I took her to a restaurant in Midtown, we had religious discussions over the car ride and dinner and didn't seem to agree on anything, this was the ultimate mismatch. Everything was civil till the end of the night before leaving i got her her coat which was one of those giant ass coats and was offering to help her with it so i made some contact with her it was as if i grabbed her boobs or even worse-" what are you doing whats the matter with you etc.... all i was trying to do was help i said --- I specifically took the Tunnel home that night after a slightly tense ride home - The Lesson to be learned here " When in Doubt---- don't touch "
