You have scheduled a time to meet, you show up at the place…and oops they don’t what do you do? Well, the initial thought is, ” I have been stood up”. You try to reach them and you can’t. Do you stay, do you leave, my suggestion, do what you feel is comfortable. But before you run and call them and start ” yelling” maybe ask if everything is okay. It could have been as simple as miscommunication, going to the wrong place, or maybe something really happened and they couldn’t get there. Find out, be nice, and wait for the explanation. But, try again, (then if it happens the second time, you know something is not right). Or you can really “hit” it off and end up having a great night out.

In the ideal situation, you will meet someone around the corner from you, you won’t have to drive to meet, and seeing each other will be very easy. But as we know, Jewish Dating is not easy, …and you may just have to open up the the possibility of meeting someone who lives a little distant. Don’t exclude this, many people do meet and have long distance relationships, and some even have commuter marriage’s. It is not the best situation but for some it may be the only possibility in order to meet someone.

That first call is always the hardest, it would be easier to meet someone in a natural setting but it doesn’t always work. Be yourself, try to call when you think they may be available instead of leaving a message. If you find it difficult to speak on the phone, then it may be easier to set something up and meet in person, sooner then later. Give each other a chance, remember, just as you are nervous so are they

You have been set up, matches, or even met someone on your own. Now comes the hard part to connect with eachother. Telephone tag. It is difficult to find a time to call when the other person will be available, but don’t give up. Try to call when you think they will be home, during business hours it is doubtful, call in the evenings but try not to past 10:00pm. Leave a brief message with your phone number. If you don’t hear back try again. If you are working with a matchmaker, and you don’t hear back, before closing the match get in touch with your matchmaker to find out if everything is okay. Patience is all part of Jewish Dating. Telephone tag is also, just think of how many times it takes to reach your friends sometimes?

Committment: That is what you need for Jewish Dating. It is time to get over one more obstacle in your life, how many have you already conquered? It is time to move on and make that committment, but it starts even at the initial stages of dating. Take it seriously.

* If you are trying to reach someone, call them when they can be reached not during the hours when you know they won’t be available.

* If you are making plans to go out, then go out, don’t come up with an excuse the last minute.

* be honest and upfront from the beginning. If there is a reason why you are afraid to make a committment, then let the person know. Don’t have to give all the details but enough for understanding. Maybe they can help you overcome them

These are just a few suggestions. Any other that you have pass them on…just remember. Remain single, or start the next phase of your life…

There are usually three things that you should look for in a person: Chemistry or how compatible you are, sharing of common interests, and sharing of  what you want in the future. Talk about these things. But you may still connect with someone who may not have all the same interests, but you find that together, you are compatible, so be open and honest with each other. You will/should know when it is right for you.
