Jewish, single & searching for a life partner?

So you’ve reached that point where clubbing has become boring and having a crazy nightlife seems empty. You’re single, smart and successful, but it just feels like something is missing. Confused? Don’t be. A lot of people from their late 20’s onward are actually plagued with the same thoughts.

Perhaps what you need is to bring a new stimulus to your life. That is, in the form of a man or woman that you can talk to without holding back, share you dreams with, and cuddle up in bed with every night. Perhaps, it’s time for you to go out there and find your ideal Jewish life partner.

The issue of intermarriage has been brought up a lot recently due to surveys that show half of young Jews now marry outside the faith. It’s not so much a deliberate act of turning away from the religion, but the plain reality that people marry whom they know. Jewish dating sites present one answer to this problem by getting the Jewish youth to come together, and this function has even been hailed by some rabbis as a welcome development.

Some of the more popular dating sites are JDate, Frumster, Jewish Café, JSoulmate, JMatch, Jewish Friend Finder, and Jewish Mingle. There are hundreds of thousands of profiles in these websites that you can search and browse. They charge a small monthly fee for membership, which is reasonably cheap if you compare this type of dating to how much it would cost you to go out every night. However, if you are the skeptical type, most of them offer limited free services that you can try, such as trial memberships, free profiles, and the like. If you like what you see, then go ahead and take the plunge.

Online dating can be a fun experience if you exercise a bit of caution and become comfortable in the environment. Like in most online communities, you can chat, post on message boards and send private messages. It’s not always about dating and flirting, as you can use these venues to mingle and discuss aspects of Jewish life within the community. Even if it takes a bit of time before you meet your lifetime partner, you will surely gather many friends along the way.
