 | Sample Chapter 5We’re going to focus on JDate because it’s the number one Jewish dating site, and I’m going to guide you through the entire process step-by-step because I’m online with you too! Logging on to JDate for the first time is a little like attending Kiddush with distant members of your extended family: you may think you recognise one or two faces, and they half recognise you, but neither of you are quite sure. As with any Kiddush, you just have to sharpen up your elbows and get stuck in. I’m online at about 8pm on a Sunday night, which is prime time for JDate! I can see that, in the UK, there are four full pages of girls – that’s 48 profiles – and five pages, or 60 guys, aged between 25 and 35, with their online buttons flashing. In the United States, there are 291 single Jewish girls and over 450 guys aged between 25 and 35 online. Damn, I’m in the wrong country! If I extend my search criteria here to include ages 18 to 60 then I’ll find that there can be anywhere up to double these amounts. But I find my search results more relevant if I apply about a 10 year spread with my age somewhere in the middle. If the 18-year-olds see me viewing their profiles they’ll think I’m a pervert, and I’m not in the market for another Jewish mother either! “Don’t waste another single second!
