Comments on: Love Is Online http://www.jdate.com/jmag/2012/02/love-is-online/ Where celebrities, experts and JDaters come to kibitz!

This piece, however, not so much - sorry. It sounds like your typical Jewish Mother's nagging: "Go get married! why aren't you married? all of your friends are married, why aren't you?" Meeting new people isn't a second job. Singles should contribute to the process, but luck & timing are major factors as well, which are not up to us. Valentine's day is a christian holiday, the Jewish nation actually has it's own celebration of love during the summer, called "Tu Beav". Either way, if there's no special someone to celebrate with, singles have the right to sit alone in resteraunt, buy themselves flowers or eat fancy candy while watching TV, without feeling guilty or apologizing for it. One can not love another, unless they love themselves first, right? I usually find your articles to be very insighful, filled with practical advice you can follow.
