JDate.com
JDate.com is a top Jewish online dating site, and a part of the giant Spark Networks. They maintain a database of millions of members worldwide, with thousands more signing up every week. Registration is free, and like all Spark Networks sites, as quick and easy as it gets.
With free membership, you can create your profile, upload up to four photos, and search your area for members online, or delve into the profiles of other members. You may ‘click’ the ones that you like, or add them to your ‘favorites’ list.
You can also ‘flirt’ with other members, up to 30 per day, but only once with any given member. Other members can email you, if you’re a free member, but to read your emails or answer them, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid membership. It’s a good way to see who’s interested before you upgrade.
With paid membership, of course, come all the search and communication tools that JDate has to offer. These include email, real-time chat, message boards, audio/video messaging, and E-cards among others. In addition, your profile gets placed at the top of search results, meaning that you’ll be seen more often, and by more members. It’s all about exposure.
Advanced search capability is available, allowing you to search by gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, marital status, geography (right down to within one mile of your location), or any other feature that might be found in a member’s profile.
Even before you register as a free member, JDate provides you with a wealth of help and information to make your experience in online dating a success. Their ‘Dating Talk’ and ‘Make It Happen’ sections boast dozens of articles that cover the concerns of a ‘newbie’ right through how to maintain your new relationship offline.
JMag is a polished, professionally produced online magazine that includes more articles, celebrity interviews, tips and advice aimed at the online Jewish dater, and something called ‘Jewish Stuff.’
As a part of the Spark Networks array of dating sites, which operates several specialized online dating venues, JDate has put a lot of thought, time, and effort into creating a comfortable, easy to use service, where you’ll find every advantage you need to meet the right Jewish person online.
