I signed up on Jdate one long, lonely Friday night in early October 2008 and spent Saturday evening sifting through my first Jdate date messages.

One, in particular, caught my eye as it was from a fellow English speaker which was unusual in Israel where most Jdaters are obviously Israeli.

We exchanged animated messages on the Sunday….spoke on the phone for over an hour on the Monday….had our first 3 hour date on the Wednesday as Tuesday was Succot and we couldn’t meet….and we both came home after our second date on the Friday night which was EXACTLY a week after I’d subscribed and cancelled our Jdate subscriptions.

I met just one man through Jdate but in my case it was THE ONE.

Going on 2 years later I remain happier than I ever believed possible…and will forever be grateful to Jdate for making this match possible.
