Have you been searching for single Jewish men who are both compatible and interested in a long-term relationship but finding it difficult? It might seem like the search for love is a never-ending road, but with Jdate’s years of experience that struggle is over. Jdate has been bringing together single Jewish men and women for over two decades and we’re not slowing down! Read on to hear how we can help you find love.
The Challenge of Finding Relationship-Ready Single Men
In this modern day and age it seems as though finding love and compatibility is a bigger challenge than ever before. Even if you deeply believe your bashert is out there waiting, it can be hard to maintain positivity when sometimes it feels like you’ll never find him.
In the search for love many of us try the blind dates organized by friends and family, sit through speed dating nights, and take chances on men we’ve met in a bar or cafe; but the odds of these meetings actually resulting in meaningful connections are frustratingly slim. Not to mention there’s no easy way to know if that cute guy from the cafe is even Jewish!
And all of this is without mentioning that dating has to fit around your life. Maintaining family relationships, trying to keep a healthy work/life balance, and finding time for friends can already feel like a juggling act without introducing the search for love to the mix! Thankfully, there’s an easier way to meet Jewish singles in Israel, USA, UK, and throughout the world searching for love.
Finding Quality Jewish Men on Jdate
You may ask yourself what makes Jdate different, and we’re glad you asked. We’re committed to curating a dedicated space for Jewish singles seeking serious relationships. With an extremely high success rate, we’ve matched more Jewish couples than any other dating app combined, and our technology provides you with those who share your most desired values.
We know single Jewish men can be tough to track down, especially if you’re not in more populated communities. Many matchmaking services offer broad context about who someone is, but Jdate strives to use scrutiny to learn about each member and what they want from their eventual partner. That way, when factoring in Jewish compatibility and all of your other preferences, we can match you with the most suitable partner based on your criteria.
Having a partner that shares your values before trying to “figure them out” makes the dating process jump to more productive conversations quickly, allowing you to determine whether a prospective companion is right for you.
Jdate: Helping Single Jewish Men and Women Find Love Since 1997!
Jdate has been helping Jewish men and women find love since 1997. Over the last two decades we’ve watched as online dating has become a legitimate and acceptable way to meet your partner. We’re proud to be responsible for more Jewish marriages than all other dating sites combined — around 52% of all marriages that occurred because of an online meeting! With that sort of track record and expertise, you’ll be in a good hands as we guide you towards a well-suited and compatible partner.
But before the fun of finding a single Jewish man who shares your interests and culture, you first need to register on our site. Luckily, we’ve made the process simple to get you on the way to finding a partner as soon as possible — just follow the steps below.
Balancing Tradition & Modern Dating
Tradition remains at the heart and soul of many Jewish families, but their practices may look different depending on where they live. Jdate has outreach in dozens of countries throughout the globe, and we recognize the diversity of the Jewish community is wide. That’s why we offer the ability to match 12 different interpretations of Judaism, ranging from simply cultural to traditional Orthodox.
Online dating in the modern world has almost become as flooded as a local gathering place, so Jdate wants you to rest assured the person you’re matched with shares your Jewish cultural preferences. And while those can vary, we won’t take your personality for granted, either. We want you to list as many career and family goals, hobbies, and unique tidbits about yourself as possible. This way, you connect both through your spirituality and lifestyle.
How Does Jdate Work?
So how does Jdate help you find a match? While Jdate is a community created for single Jewish men and women to find love with those who have a shared cultural background, we also understand that it takes more than just that to make a relationship last. This is why our platform seeks to match those who are well-suited on multiple levels, from lifestyle to location and all that’s in between.
Sharing Jewish heritage is a great base for your relationship, but building on that with similar desires about your future plans and shared interests is even better.
1. Register, Create Your Profile and Pick Photos
The first step of your dating journey is registering and creating a profile. To make this as easy as possible we’ve made Jdate accessible on multiple platforms, including our registration page for computer users, and mobile site or dating app for smartphone users. Available for both iOS and Android users, the Jdate app contains all the best parts of our website you can use wherever you are.
We’re a big believer of options at Jdate, so when you sign up you can choose whether to use your Facebook details (don’t worry, we never post on your behalf!) or your email address. Once you’ve done that you’ll move onto building your profile. In order to showcase your best self you should make sure your profile includes a few great pictures, perhaps from a recent event or gathering. Alternatively, why not ask a friend or family member along for an impromptu photo shoot and get some brand new snaps for your bio.
In addition to adding images, you’ll also want to write a little about yourself for prospective matches to read. We understand it can be difficult to know what to share, so take some time and come back to it if you need. After you’ve put together your profile our Customer Care team will work to approve your photos before they appear on your profile. This extra step is done to ensure the safest possible online dating experience for all of our members.
2. Tell Us Your Preferences in a Partner
In order to match you with the most compatible single Jewish men, we need to know your preferences for a partner. On Jdate, we aim to match the most well-suited members possible, so to help this process we ask you to give us a few details. This includes things such as how you identify (whether you’re culturally Jewish, Modern, Traditional or beyond!), if you keep kosher, how often you attend the synagogue/shul, whether you want children, if you would be willing to relocate for love, if you smoke or drink, and your interests.
We know that it can seem like a lot of questions and information to answer, so you can also come back to these questions if you want to take the time to think about them first.
3. Messaging, Dating and Beyond with Jdate!
After you’ve filled in your profile, added a few snazzy photos, and given some information about yourself and your preferences in a partner, the matching can begin! We’ll send you up to seven compatible matches per day, with a percentage indicating how much you have in common with each other. If you’d prefer a more hands on approach, you can also search members’ profiles yourself and connect with potentially well-suited single Jewish men that way.
From there it’s over to you to decide which matches sound promising and to send that all-important first message. Take some time to get to know each other over text and if things feel promising, plan a first date to see whether the chemistry is there in person. You never know, you could become one half of the next Jdate success story couple!
Tips for Compatibility
Compiling all the right strategies for creating the perfect online dating profile probably seems like a lofty goal, but there are many simple steps you can take to make yourself both more noticeable and original. We’ve listed a few of these tips below:
- Choose Solo Photos — Selecting photos with only yourself removes ambiguity, and puts the focus on you and what you enjoy doing or where you’ve been. We also suggest avoiding selfies, as they come across as less genuine and leave uncertainty about your appearance.
- List as Many Specifics as Possible — Jdate offers a ton of preference options when it comes to narrowing down your ideal match, and the more information you can provide us, the better our algorithm will respond. Keep in mind this also factors in your hand-crafted bio!
- Unveil Your Personality — Don’t be afraid to show your true colors. After all, if you’re truly in pursuit of a serious relationship, Jewish singles are going to want to know you’re authentic before they ever decide to move forward in chats or even in person.
- Don’t Be Afraid to Make the First Move — Online dating provides a lot of flexibility, and one of those is that you can decide to take a chance at any time. Women are just as capable of reaching out to Jewish men as their counterparts, so it’s not unconventional to take a leap and see what happens!
- Be Up-Front — Being truthful to yourself is a crucial part of the dating process, and that includes admitting if something isn’t clicking the way you hoped. Don’t be afraid to say no, or cut off a relationship if you feel something is missing. Dating should be fun, and we want all of our users to find their bashert, not waste each others’ time.
Success Stories
Jdate wouldn’t be as popular amongst Jewish singles as it is today without the raving testimonials of our satisfied users. Thousands of couples have built connections that have evolved into families thanks to Jdate. Here are just some of their stories!
- Shauna and Robert — This young couple decided to take the chance to date across the borders between N.Y.C. and New Jersey, and they’re elated they did! They instantly clicked, and after a six-hour date, they were easily drawn to each other. They’ve now been happily married for a handful of years!
- Shlomit and Ryan — Shlomit had spent almost 15 years on Jdate, but when Ryan joined just two weeks later, they spent hours messaging, then video calling. After his weekend trip to Toronto, sparks flew and they know they’d be linked for life.
- Joelle and Jason — These two are another testament to true love because not only did these two hit it off after a 14-hour date to Niagara Falls, but Jason proposed two years later while filming a music video about Joelle and her favorite things — how adorable!
Safety on Dating Apps
Online dating always presents a potential risk when dealing with a stranger for the first time, so it’s important to take all necessary precautions until you become accustomed with the other person. In addition to contacting our support team, here are some tips to keep in mind.
Meet in Public
When you first decide to go on a date somewhere, 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 is to remember 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 location. We advise keeping communications in the app first.
It’s also crucial to remember that if you’re ever asked for money, be sure to report the individual right away. In many cases, if someone is attempting to borrow money or reassure you they need it for an urgent cause, it may 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 dating 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.
