Jewish Dating Blog | The inside scoop – Jewish Dating wisdom from the Matchmaker

Archive for April 2008


You decide to set up a profile for on–line dating.  You have to put on your profile enough information that the person is going to be interested in you. When they read it, they should know a little about you, your work, your family life, what you enjoy doing in your spare time, some of your likes and dislikes. But, also what you are looking for in a partner. If you are religious, or not, let them know if you are open to taking on more, and exactly what you are willing to.

Don’t write a book, just enough that they will be interested to meet you.

Your matchmaker can only do so much, we can make the match, but if you are not clear in your profile, the match will not be accepted. If you are not sure about what you have put in your profile, then ask a friend, or discuss it with your matchmaker. just remember, we are there to help you. So if you are not sure about something, ask.

Men: You are in your 40’s maybe in 50’s. You say you look younger then your years, so you only want to date woman who are younger. Yes you may be 42 and look in your 30’s but you have to remember, most people will agree, there is this 10 year rule. Most woman, will not date someone 10 years older. What about all those woman who are in there 40’s and 50’s looking young as well, why not date one of them?

Woman: Yes you may look younger, but the same, most men will not date woman years younger.

Just be realistic. You are still single, do you really want to get married? Or do you want to remain single? You may have to change these expectations – you never know who you are “refusing” to meet. It just could be your future spouse.

Let’s be real, if you expect, tall, dark, handsome, extremely wealthly, and you are not willing to leave your own city, unless it is to vacation – with him to some exotic place, the chances of meeting someone like this, next to NIL.

Especially, if on the first phone call, you ask, how much do you earn, where do you live, and what do you look like.

If these are your expectations – I say look at yourself, are you this as well?

It is time to be realistic. The person, if this is what you want, then I say network in your own circles, this is probably not what you will find on a dating site.

I will tell you a little story – A young couple was engaged. He was from very wealthy family. They went to look for the engagement ring in New York City diamond industry, if you live in New York you can relate. She kept on looking, he would point something out to her, she would look, try on, and say – no, a little different, a little bigger stone. They moved to the next counter, and the next, this continued to happen, no a little better quality, bigger stone…

Finally, he looked at her, and said, if this is what you think, the engagements is off, it’s my parents money and not mine. He walked out of the area, leaving her standing there. Moral of the story – don’t only look what is in the pockets, or what you think is. Look for the person, what they can offer you. How they treat you and others.

Many people feel that only as a married person do you have your way in society. This is not true. As a single person, you still have a place. Use this time to secure that place. Use it as a time to find out who you are. Feel positive about yourself, and do everything you can to make yourself the best person you can be.

Don’t let yourself feel that you are not “whole” without a spouse, when you do meet the right person, you will still be who you are, now you will have someone next to you, as added support and together you can take on more of those dreams that you want.

Always go out looking your best, be positive, don’t let yourself get down because you are single. I always have said that when you meet someone, if they see you are desperate, you will probably loose them. When they see a person with confidence, a sense of truly knowing who they are, who is enjoy being, then things can fall into place.

Does this sound like you.

Man between 50-65 looking for woman under 40 who wants to have children and still can. Will not compromise. She must be attractive, outgoing, live within 60 miles of..

Now ask yourself.

 How many woman who are available will want to go out with someone over 10-15 years older then they are?

Are you willing to wait, and wait, and still be single and alone. Just because you want children, or more children

What do you have to offer them that is so special?

If you have never been married, then it is time to wake up, why aren’t you? And why have you waited so long to realize this.

Considering we hear, I want, I want, instead of what am I willing to compromise on, men, ( and woman) you will continue to be single.

In a relationship and marriage there is compromise and if you are only saying I, then maybe you are not ready…
