Single Jewish women shouldn’t be hard to find. With your family recommendations of a friend of a friend’s daughter, your social circle, and hobbies — surely it should be easy to find a date? Unfortunately, the chances of someone who shares your interests being single, Jewish, introduced to you out of the blue, and compatible is slim, which is why Jdate exists. We can help you meet eligible, single Jewish women with the goal of finding long-lasting happiness.
Jdate is responsible for 52% of Jewish marriages that resulted from an online meeting — that’s more than all other dating sites combined. This is why we’re considered one of the best websites for Jewish singles looking to find long-term love
How to Meet Interesting Single Jewish Women
So, you’ve got a job you like, a nice social circle of friends, and you’re fulfilling all your family obligations but where’s your bashert?
In modern life finding a single Jewish woman for love and compatibility can be a challenge. You might have tried being set up on blind dates, speed dating, or even generic dating websites to find that special someone. These are all valid ways to find someone but the chance that you like them, have things in common and also share your faith is low. This is why so many Jewish singles are turning to Jdate to find modern love in a modern way.
Jdate was created to fit in with present day single Jewish life, not the other way around, so you can actually enjoy the experience of dating and meeting new people. So, how does Jdate work?
Quality Jewish Matchmaking on Jdate
Jdate’s sophisticated software allows our platform to make calculated matches based on the information you’ve given us. Because our filters range in everything from age and location preference to career and the willingness to have kids, your requirements can be as broad or strict as you like. Even better, you’ll be able to change them as you familiarize yourself with the app and adapt your sense of compatibility.
However, we’re not limiting your preferences to just the generic identifiers that other dating apps use. We truly value the cultural and lifestyle choices that make our customer pool different, and whether you practice a different form of Judaism or are looking for a partner who’s really into fitness, dozens of criteria can be narrowed down to direct you toward the right Jewish woman. One who will not only share your values but will also enjoy participating in the same hobbies you enjoy.
Balancing Tradition & Modern Dating
Whether you come from a stringent Jewish household or a culturally liberal one, it’s important to know which traditions and values are most critical to you and your family’s lifestyle. You would hate to find yourself in a situation in which you feel like you don’t live up to the expectations of, say, a conservative Orthodox family if you’re only identifying culturally.
Modern dating, however, has brought surprises, and connecting with someone spiritually over a digital platform is now something that’s widely accepted across a span of faiths. Jewish connections are being made every day on Jdate, and we’re proud to offer the diversity of culture, ethnicity, and spiritual practice to the wide world of our Jewish clientele.
How Does Jdate Work ?
Jdate is a Jewish dating website made up of a community of singles all looking to flirt, date, and meet that someone special. While the Jewish faith is what links our community together, we understand that true compatibility requires more than that. This is why we seek to connect like-minded singles who also share hobbies, lifestyles and everything in between.
Signing Up
Want to start signing up to Jdate? Simply fill out all the basic information about yourself and you’re on your way to start dating. If you’re more of app type of person then you can also access the Jdate dating app via iOS and Android. You can sign up via your Facebook account or an email address, whichever is easiest for you.
Creating Your Profile
Now we’ve gotten the basics out of the way, it’s time for the fun part: We want to know about you! Describing yourself doesn’t come easily, people tend to go for generic terms and end up not recognizing the person they’ve described. If you’re struggling then ask your friends and family to describe you — how would they characterize you to a stranger that they wanted to set you up with? Think about the kind of person you’re looking to attract and be creative with your profile.
Selecting Photos
Another obvious but good top tip is to fill your profile with great pictures of yourself. On Jdate you can choose up to six photos to upload so pick some interesting ones that reflect your personality and lifestyle. Remember, to ensure safety, the Jdate Customer Care team will approve your pictures but this shouldn’t take long.
Picking Your Partner Preferences
With Jdate we use a matching system so that you receive up to seven targeted matches in your inbox every day. If you’re more of a browser then you can check out the profiles of single women on Jdate at your leisure.
How we pick your matches is based on the preferences and filters that you provide us with. So, if it was important that all your matches are interested in having children in the future, or vice versa, you can select that as an option. Perhaps you want someone who identifies in a similar way to you: From Orthodox to Culturally Jewish you can specify that too (we have 12 identification options in all).
Ready to Match
All our preferences are about what’s important to you in your future relationship because what’s significant to you is paramount to us. Also, you can alter any of these preferences at any time if you change your mind in the future.
Now that your profile is complete and your preferences are picked, it’s time to start messaging your matches. Remember, the first message is all important so think of yourself on your very best day and project that kind of positivity and energy into your messages.
You never know, soon you could be on joining the rest of the happy couples on our Jdate Success Stories page.
Tips for Finding Compatible Matches
Once you’ve gotten accustomed to the Jdate platform and begun interacting with other single Jewish women, you can refine your approach to make your profile stand out more. However, many of these tips are better described as best dating practices that may be applied to online matchmaking.
Be Honest In Your Profile
Perhaps it goes without saying, but it must be reiterated. Always be honest in your online dating profile. Under no circumstance will any single women appreciate being led astray, and you’d be doing yourself a disservice to lie if your true end goal is to get married. A key profile tip is making sure you’re sincere.
Instead, embrace your background and upbringing, and don’t be afraid to show a little flare of personality. This will help summarize and highlight what makes you, you. Be creative, talk about your passions, but also consider bringing goals and niche hobbies into the picture as well. These will stand out to those who share your interests.
Choose Solo Pics
We’ve discussed why selecting photos is a crucial part of the profile creation process, but there’s some additional advice we have that can set you apart from the rest. One thing you may not have considered is that you should always try and choose solo pictures of yourself, as opposed to in a group or even with a couple of other people. You want to be clear you’re the star of your profile.
We also recommend that you avoid picking selfies to display on your page, as they can be deemed ambiguous of your true self and come off as slightly lazy. They’re tempting because they’re easy to take, but a full-body picture that features a genuine smile is always best. An added bonus is to show some places you’ve been to, or special events you’ve attended.
Manage Patience and Expectations
Whether it’s your first time online dating or you are familiar with the process, Jdate is striving to bring Jewish singles together to avoid the frustration of dating around with limited knowledge of the other person. Online dating can feel fast at times, but there’s no reason to rush when searching for the Jewish woman of your dreams.
Don’t ever feel like you need to compromise your values, and take your time to explore the different types of single women that share your lifestyle habits. You may have to go on a few dates to get warmed up, or you may not click the way you were expecting to. Either way, there’s no reason to get discouraged if a relationship doesn’t come immediately, because dating still requires patience, and there’s no reason to ever force true love.
Stick to Your Gut
Even before you graduate from messaging on the app, If you ever feel like a match is not living up to your expectations, it’s okay to stop the communication or kindly break it off. Dating is meant to be fun and an expression of ourselves, and we don’t want any users feeling limited in their path to finding love.
Additionally, if you ever feel as though you’re being bothered or distressed, contact Customer Support immediately, and we will address the situation as soon as possible. We want you to feel butterflies and become more curious about your prospective partner, and while our matchmaking software is incredibly good, it’s not perfect. When you bond and get to learn more about your match, the spark from your perfect bashert will reveal itself.
Success Stories
With thousands of single men and single women beginning their journeys with Jdate and eventually getting married to the Jewish partner of their dreams, it’s quite predictable that we have countless testimonies from couples proclaiming their appreciation for our dating app.
The story of Lisa and Jordan would have never happened if Lisa’s mom hadn’t encouraged her to try out Jdate to find a Jewish man fit for her standards, but the couple have now been together for over eight years! Then there’s Natalie and Lee, who both shared the desire to start a family. Once they felt the initial spark, they were inseparable. They would’ve never met if they both hadn’t used Jdate while Lee was finishing his residency near Natalie’s hometown!
Safety on Dating Apps
Online dating is a great way to meet other Jewish singles in your area, but it’s important to remember basic safety practices when dealing with people you’ve only interacted with on the internet.
Keep Initial Contact on Jdate
When you’re first getting started and messaging your prospective matches, it’s best to remain in the chat on the app instead of moving to text or phone calls right away. This is partially due to feeling out your potential date, but also to prevent any sort of fraud or potential phishing schemes. Once you’ve had time to evaluate and look into the other person, you can feel free to move to personal meetings.
Don’t Share Personal Information
Offering things like your address, place of work, or even what car you drive is not advised in any beginning stages of online dating, once again for your own safety. Remaining a bit ambiguous is smart because diving into details too early can lead to over-attachment before both sides become comfortable.
This also goes for financial information. Asking any match for money, or peddling a need for funds regardless of the severity is strictly prohibited on our platform. We never want a user to experience any sort of exploitation, especially when it comes to something as important as money. Remember to never give banking information or offer your finances to someone you barely know.
Meet In Public
Another best practice for online daters is to always schedule your first encounters in public. Meeting over dinner, coffee, or even in an arcade or movie will help you with your nerves, and public perception assures you have watchful eyes around you. If you ever feel the need to depart a date or don’t want to commit too much time right off the bat, it’s much easier to leave from a public place. This is even more so the case if you’re able to organize your own transportation.
Our Commitment
Our Customer Service team is dedicated to making sure that every Jdate user feels safe and respected in our community. That’s why we stand by the following commitments:
- Support is available seven days a week so not a day passes between your complaint and our response team.
- Our compliance teams vet and confirms each of our user’s profiles to ensure they are who they say they are.
