Via The Curious Jew by way of SerandEz, the Miriam Webster Shidductionary, your guide to defining shidduch terms.
My favorites:
Bright: always had a lot of potential throughout high school, no achievement, just potential
Tall: (for a man) 5′7″
The Top Boy in [fill in the blank]: when the bachurim get together to form a human pyramid so they can hoist one guy high enough to reach the cake that the cook hid, he is the “top boy”
No Hat: tries to observe the Torah and all of its commandments without the aid of a Borsalino
Dresses well:
…
(3) businessman: The cost of his shoes and belt are equivalent.Yeshivish: her family puts the Yated on the coffee table, keeps Hamodia in the kitchen
Middle-of-the-Road: her family puts Hamodia on the coffee table, keeps The Jewish Press in the kitchen
Breakup Reasons:
She doesn’t have time for a man in her life: She put a three-hour cap on our phone conversations.
We are looking for different things: He is looking for a young bride; she is looking for someone who was born in the same decade.
Signs the Date Isn’t Going Well:
7. She pops out her lens, swishes it in her mouth, and pops it back into her eye, pronouncing it “good as new.”
About the last one – of course you always turn away first! Happy dating, folks.
you forgot to add the defination of “cute”

It’s definitely a cute idea, although I think some parts vary by region and which dating group (working, learning, ‘learner-earner’…)
