Profiles from Online Jewish Dating

What is the best website for Jewish singles to meet in the U.S.?

Some people say “opposites attract”. But time and again, we almost always end up with a person very similar to ourselves. We feel more comfortable being with someone whom we share common interests with. We can let our guard down a little when talking to a person who thinks along the same lines. And so with the Jewish people, it’s not a surprise that there’s been a resurgence of wanting to find for themselves a Jewish partner.

America is home to almost half of the world’s Jewish population. That’s about 6 million faithful scattered across the country, the concentration being in New York. If you don’t live in a place with a strong Jewish presence, you may have experienced a hard time finding “The One”. Fortunately, there’s the advent of the Internet, and with it, online dating sites.

As this segment develops, more and more sites tend to cater to a niche market. Jewish dating sites outnumber those of any other ethnicity, so you have you have a lot of options on the menu. Arguably the most popular Jewish dating site today is JDate.com. It has its own billboard on Times Square in New York and has a membership of over half a million Jewish singles. With that many prospects, you’re bound to find more than a few interesting people. What’s more, the membership continues to grow with 15,000 people signing up every month.

If you’re new to the online dating scene, you can try filling up a free profile. This will be searchable in their database for other singles to browse. You can also browse other profiles and send little teasers to any member. However, to engage in longer conversations such as chat and private messaging, you will have to upgrade to the paid membership. The monthly fee is reasonable for all the perks that you’ll be getting.

And so the hunt begins. There used to be a stigma that went along with online dating, but that is slowly dissipating. People have grown to accept the Internet as just another venue like clubs and parties, where you can meet a potential mate. And as with more traditional methods, it doesn’t offer a 100% guarantee of success. Meeting that one special person doesn’t happen overnight, but if you meet more people, the odds of finding “The One” become that much higher.

So what are you waiting for? Go out there and try it out now.

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.
