A piece of advice for other people looking for their soul mate: That person is out there and it’s worth making the first move on certain occasions. Thank you JDate, you once again did your job!

That evening Ben was searching through the different people and looking at their profiles. When he reached Alisa’s JDate profile, it caught his eye. She not only looked like a beautiful girl, but she also had many of the characteristics listed in her profile that were important to him.

Two years ago, I met my perfect person on JDate. He was a jaded JDater® and I was a first-time user, tired of waiting for Prince Charming to find me.

I had been a member of JDate for three months and I hadn’t met anyone yet. So, I contacted eight or nine different recommended matches at the same time… and one of them turned out to be my future husband.

It is easy to read JDate’s Success Stories and wonder if they are true, or whether anything like this could ever happen to you. Everyone has their own reasons for being a JDate member and we all want different things from it. So, with this in mind, Lauren and Jamie wanted their story to be told in the hopes that it inspires you in one way or another.

Several years ago, two bored sisters with a wicked sense of humor created a JDate profile for Harvey, one of their father’s closest friends. They never imagined it would lead to a three-year, cross-Atlantic relationship, including aliyah (immigration to Israel), a very public marriage proposal and a wedding!

About a month later Drew and I went to see a concert, but just as friends. When we were dancing he asked if he could put his arm around me. I said yes and it was magical. I knew he was a keeper.

I was never into online dating, but my friends eventually convinced me to try JDate. I signed up for a six-month package, expecting to use it for a long time because I never thought it would really work. After just two weeks, I met my future wife.

I received an email reply from Karen two months after I initially contacted her – and I was surprised. We exchanged another email and then spoke on the phone the very next day. The conversation went so well and flowed so naturally, I didn’t want to wait to meet her. So, I arranged to see Karen that very evening, even though I was attending the party of a friend.
