As a person who values her sleep I would have been an old maid

I literally cannot wrap my head around what you just told us.

To non Amish, “bundling” is when you have Flo combine your home and auto insurance.

[LandCfan]

Interesting that bundling means something different in this context. In the colonial era of the US, a man courting a woman at her parents house would share her bed (to get to know her and because maybe he lives far away and needs to stay over). However, they were physically separated by a piece of wood called a "bundling board", or he was bundled by being sewn into a bag. It was considered a good sign if they could stay up all night talking, but there was to be NO touching.

Wow. That's very different. It's improper to be seen together in daylight, but rolling around in bed kissing after hours is totes fine.

This sounds so insane, I feel like someone is playing a prank on me

I know everyone is skeeved out by the sketchy four guys coming to your house in the middle of the night. Fair! But I’m just imagining how much NOISE this would cause. Guys going in and out, up and down the stairs? Going into the kitchen etc? I’m a light sleeper so this would be keeping me awake! What is the rest of the household doing while all this pitter patter is going on? Amish houses aren’t huge, I have to imagine the parents and all the siblings can hear all this going on. You’d have no privacy. I’d be pissed not just randos being in my house but at the comings and goings causing so much noise! Not to mention the talking, walking etc! I’d tell everyone to go out and party in the barn or whatever other buildings Amish people have on their property.

[cheskydivision]

Wow. A lot of peer pressure on the girl. Hard to say no to a group of guys.

[Fireandbubbles]

There’s a lot of opportunity in this process for things to go horribly wrong for the girl involved.

[Sleipnirseight]

This sounds like the perfect setup for SA to happen 😳

[standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

I love that CC changed Schwartzentruber Amish to Scorcher Trooper homage 😂

The house better be on fire if 3 dudes are busting into my room at 12am.

[lovefortruth]

Wow...if I woke up in tge middle of the night to see 3 boys around my age (of I was a teen or younger adult), my brain would immediately ho into "intruder, danger mode". Especially not having been given any information regarding this ritual. That just seems so intrusive to me.

[DarthMagog]

As an ExJW, this is the most bizarre courtship ritual ive ever heard of. And we needed to be chaparoned to even get ice cream.

[klaudiajaniak]

Im so happy youtube algorithm randomly recommended you to me because everything you're saying in your shorts and videos is always so interesting.

[kibashisiyoto]

Living around an Amish area, one time my wife came across a buggy late at night that was tilted badly to one side. She thought they had broken a spring or something. No, that wasn't what was going

[rhondahulett]

Your parents allow 3 guys in your bedroom @ midnight!? WOW

[ardenalexa]

If I were a parent I would be uncomfortable with dating happening late at night and my kid being alone with that many people without any supervision. I’d probably be constantly checking on them or stay near the door because in my mind, that would be the perfect scenario for some sick pervert to take advantage of someone. But that’s my opinion

[nataliegraham]

I've often wondered how the different rules/traditions came about, especially for how your former sect dated. Those are some pretty out-there dating traditions for a socially conservative religious group. It's always interesting to listen to you talk about your life growing up. I grew up in rural York county PA back in the 70's/early 80's, which was close to the Amish and Mennonite communities in both York and Lancaster counties. We would pass by the farms and the buggies on the road pretty regularly, and visit the farm stands/stores during summer/fall, plus the restaurants featuring 'Amish' food. It got very commercialized over time and many moved away, especially those who still wanted to farm, since the area was getting built up with subdivisions.

Lizzie, I'm a Amish girl who is totally shocked with your story and glad you escaped from that, I did hear a few people mention that the swartentruber amish date in bed but i never believed that and I'm horrified. I'm thankful for my community and just so you know, we and all the surrounding communities i know of go out to youth groups, volleyball games, the parks, singings, even bowling and dinner to date someone... I'm sorry you never experienced that in your community!!! You're beautiful by the way🤗 God bless you!
