Hello to my loyal blog readers-So, time for me to come out and say it: "I'm on jdate!"
Yep, after hearing so many good stories and knowing many couples that have met their spouse through the site (including three cousins), I decided to give it a shot myself.
The primary difference between jdate in the states and jdate in Israel, is that here almost everyone is Jewish, thus rendering the need to find a Jewish partner to more of just finding a partner. I guess it's the Israeli equivalent of match.com or another site that is generic online dating.
I digress. So I've been on there for about a month and a half now and have not had that much luck. I don't know if it's because there is the language barrier (I write simple sentences in Hebrew), the fact that some of the girls probably get lots of messages making it hard to filter, or another factor. Today, I changed my profile pix in hopes that it would make a difference (one of the recommendations from the jdate gurus) so we'll see if that works...
I've met three girls for dates so far and one for a second date, but nothing's really panned out. I'm going to give it until the end of this month's subscription and then I'll probably drop it unless I see better results.
Lastly, a blog shout-out to my sister, Paula, who sponsored my second month in hopes that I'd meet someone. Thanks for the Chanukah present, P!

Nice profile! I like the lack of facial hair and the slightly longer head of hair!!
Post a video of your new apartment, okay?
hey bud just came across your blog for the first time, I know sad right! anyways Jdate has its ups and downs give it time eventualy it'll work out for you when you least expect it. hey I'm a perfect example of that. If you asked me 1 year ago if I would be getting married in the next couple of years I would of laughed but I met Jen on there it has been nothing but great times since. Anyways I hope all is well and I am definitely sad you wont be making it to the wedding but I totally understand. I added you on gchat and can only hope we can stay in better touch. take care and cant wait to talk to you soon!!!
