For over 20 years Jdate has worked hard to help Jewish singles find their bashert and we’re delighted to have matched thousands in the process. When we started back in 1997, the only way to access our site was from a desktop computer but these days things are a lot more mobile! Thanks to our Jewish dating app you can experience Jdate wherever you are and fit your online dating experience around your work and social life.
Read on to find out more about why downloading our Jewish dating app could be one of the best decisions you ever make.
Find a Match Who Understands You
If you’re searching for a specific type of partner, approaching dating in the traditional sense can leave you feeling like you’re looking for a needle in a haystack. Thankfully, the advent of online dating means that those who have strong preferences for a partner from a specific background can be easily introduced to singles with whom they share a common bond.
With online dating now more popular than ever, we want our site to be as accessible and convenient to use as possible. With this goal in mind, we took all the best features from our desktop site and created an easy-to-use Jewish dating app that brings online dating to you, even when you’re on the go. Our app gives Jewish singles the ability to meet and connect without solely relying on traditional ways of meeting partners.
A Jewish Dating App With History
Jdate is home to a diverse group of members who hail from all walks of life, as a result we offer the one best forums in the world to find a Jewish partner. In fact, a survey carried out by ResearchNow found that Jdate was responsible for 52% of the marriages that started online! Every month we hear from former Jdate members delighted to share their success stories and the happiness they found after using our site.
By using our Jewish dating app your online dating possibilities expand even further, as we give you the tools that you need to find compatible matches in a manner that works for 21st Century daters.
Using The Jdate App
Getting started with your Jdate journey is easy. The first step is to go to the app store and download our Jewish dating app to your iOS or Android device. From there you have the world of Jewish dating at your fingertips and have access to the fantastic features our app has to offer.
1. Register and Add Photos
After installing the Jdate app you’ll need to register and start creating your profile. If you want to keep things simple, you can use your Facebook details to sign up (don’t worry, we’ll never post anything on your behalf!), or sign up using your email address. From there you’ll be asked for your name, date of birth and location.
Your next step is to add photos that show off your best self. Having images on your dating profile is important as it gives potential matches an insight into who you are (and gives you an opportunity to release your inner supermodel). You can either choose to import images from Facebook, upload them from your phone’s gallery or take a brand new photo. If you’re unsure about what type of photos you should be thinking about, don’t worry, we’ve got some profile photo tips that will help you out.
2. Flesh Out Your Profile
Next you’ll be asked to provide some starting details for your profile, including height, occupation, level of education and whether or not you have kids or want them.
You can also disclose your religion (from Culturally Jewish to Modern Orthodox to willing to convert), how often you attend synagogue and if you keep kosher. Fill out as much information as you’d like and remember you can always come back to any questions at a later time. We know it can be hard to talk about yourself in a dating profile, so if you need help, we have plenty of articles with tips.
3. Check Your Matches Wherever You Are
Once you’ve filled in your profile all that’s left to do is start meeting people! Customize your Discovery Preferences as you please and then click the home icon to start browsing. You can choose to search by new members, those who are online, users who are close by, singles with the highest match percentage, or just browse through the LookBook.
However you choose to search for potential matches you’ll be able to do it on the go. Our Jewish dating app is perfectly set up to use no matter how much time you have to spare. Take a look at home, on your commute or even while standing in line at the grocery store!
4. Flirt, Chat, Make Plans on the Go
Has someone caught your eye and you want to break the ice? Send them a Flirt to get the ball rolling! Sending a Flirt (denoted by the orange wink icon) will send a message to your chosen single letting them know you’re interesting in talking. Or, if you’re feeling a little more bold, skip the Flirt and jump right in with a personalized message. If you’ve received a message from a user, check out some suggestions for responses over here.
After chatting back and forth with fellow singles, you’ll get a feel for those you might have a real connection with. If you believe things have the potential to spark into something more, think about planning a first date to meet up in person and find out if your online bond has real life chemistry. You never know, you might be one half of Jdate’s next success story.
Success Stories
Jdate is proud to have played a pivotal role in so many Jewish dating stories, and when reading through the numerous testimonials available on our website, you’ll quickly learn how one simple message is all it takes to inspire a new companionship.
Take Sammy and Rachel, who began their relationship in person with a trip for coffee and a walk under the moon. After dating for years, their love eventually culminated when Sammy traveled abroad for grad school. The long-distance revealed to Rachel how integral Sammy had become in her life, and her family agreed. They’ve now been married for over five years!
Another fabulous story comes courtesy of Hope and Brian. Their first date went so well that they almost forgot to order food because they’d already been eager to share all they had in common. By week three, Brian was already boasting to Hope’s friends that they would be engaged within a year. It was love at first sight, and Hope even points out she would’ve never met Brian if she hadn’t opened her app’s range to a new city.
Security and Privacy
Unfortunately, online dating always presents a potential risk when dealing with people you’ve never actually met, so it’s imperative to take all necessary precautions until you become familiar with the other individual. In addition to contacting our support team, here are some tips to keep in mind.
Meet in Public
Going on a date is not so much of a defined act as it is planning an outing with your match. Theoretically, you can go anywhere to enjoy company, but at the beginning stages of getting to know one another, it’s best practice to meet up in a public space with surrounding bystanders. Also, try and arrive separately to avoid any awkward interaction or obligation to stay beyond your comfort limit. It’s easier to explain your exit if you’re in a shared community area.
Don’t Share Personal Info
One of the most important things we advise all users to remember is that their privacy is vital. There is no need to give away personal details about yourself on a first date, let alone offer someone your phone number or reveal your living situation. We advise keeping communications in the app first.
It’s also critical to remember that if you’re ever asked for money, be sure to report the individual straight away. Oftentimes, if someone is attempting to borrow money or reassure you they need it for an urgent cause, it can likely be a scam. Requesting funds of any kind is against our policy, and violators will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
Take Your Time
When it comes to online dating, it’s certainly in your best interest to go at your own pace. No dating app is going to reveal your bashert to you instantly upon signing up, but we can see how being exposed to so many potential matches can feel overwhelming.
After you’ve familiarized yourself with the Jdate platform, start with messaging. You don’t need to move into physical meetings until you’re ready, and even then, you’re always encouraged to explore your options. Dating is supposed to be a fun, social experiment, and while we attempt to link the best prospective singles together, we understand that everyone has their own terms when it comes to finding the one.
Our Safety Policy
Ensuring our users feel safe and secure is a top priority at Jdate, so keep in mind that we are doing the best we can to combat any abuse or targeted harassment. Here are some of the ways we stay vigilant:
- Our customer support team is available for your concerns seven days a week.
- Each user’s profile and photos are fully vetted by our compliance team.
- Contact our team immediately if you’re experiencing any form of offensive behavior or manipulation. We will take appropriate action as soon as we receive your complaint.
