Learning From My Mistakes

By Hary Davidson

 Online dating can be a great leveler- I didnt know this until I joined the singles forum on datehookup.com. About 5 years ago when I was in the university, I was in search of girl who I could hook up with in real. I tried several ways of finding myself a girl who could vibe with me. I went to the bars, on blind dates set up by Jack, my close buddy, and even tried my luck at a few single networks. I sure had a blast with all of them, but I was never able to find that someone who I could feel like spending the rest of my life with. I went on a ton of dates and even hooked up many single girls, it was all real fun being a part of those things. But at the end of it all, I would ask myself this question what am I heading for?

This was when drew myself away from all those things and started thinking of trying to hook up with someone in a different way I came with the idea of giving online dating a shot. So, I joined datehookup.com with the faintest of the idea on how to go about it. It was Jack who taught me how to set up my profile and browse along profiles of other members to see if some really appeal to you. After spending some time on it, I started sending messages to the other members and even got some from other members. But, I had little idea on what the next step should be.

One find day, I decided that I should join the singles forum on datehookup.com. I was actually trying to explore the options to bump into someone randomly and then mysteriously fall in love with her. I introduced myself to other members and then headed straight to the Profile Reviews section where I could increase my chance of being reviewed by other members quickly. This worked out and I started getting lots of messages in my inbox the next month. It was overwhelming, so I asked Jack what I should do. He suggested that I wait and watch. Since I was focused on having a long-term relationship, I chose not to mess around with many and select only a few to see whom I could be really compatible with.

I started chatting with a few females on datehookup.com. Yana, of the several females, seemed very cordial and charming in her behavior. She had a great profile but she had no photo. We got really close and decided to meet each other offline. We both scheduled to meet at caf near our university. My curious to meet her in person was at its height. I also had planned to ask her for a movie together afterwards. When I entered the caf and gave her a call to confirm her arrival, she said she was already in, and told me to turn back. But, lo and behold it was a lady of around 45. She smiled at me and I didnt know what to do so I smiled back, but deep inside I knew it was the worst day of my life. I came straight back home after the disastrous day, taking the experience with a pinch of salt.

Welcome to Learning From My Mistakes.

 There are quite a few exclusive Jewish dating sites on the internet which provide Jewish singles an avenue to meet singles near their region.

Most Jewish dating sites give an option to register free for a trial period and use limited features before registering and paying. These features include a plethora of options for finding Jewish singles in and around a specific region.

The most popular feature found in these sites is the option for Search using criteria like location, age and gender. And the best part is that they do not even require you to register before you can search for Jewish singles in and around your area. This allows people to browse through the sites and look for singles in and around a specific area, gender and age group and that too with pictures! This feature of the Jewish dating site has people hooked on it for hours together as they browse singles that not only look attractive to them but also have some stuff in common with them.

Almost all Jewish dating sites require users to give detailed information about them so that other singles looking out for partners can match their interests and hobbies. The information that people provide is quite detailed like lifestyle, physical info, background, personality, relationships and preferences of the person or what they are looking for in their partner. It also gives in what kind of relationship the person is looking at, for example marriage or activity partners etc.

These sites are a great way to meet Jewish singles in and around your area and starting something online means the safety of calling it quits quite early and without any social strings if the relationship doesn’t work out.

An important thing to consider when looking for singles on a Jewish dating site is the number of people that are members of the site. Ultimately the greater the number of people on the site the better the chances are of meeting a person that meets your interest levels and compatibility. Popular sites have as many as ten thousand or more members online at any time. These are not the number of members, but the number of people who are active on the site, updating their profiles seeking out other members and making the dating site a vibrant community.

Apart from the popular feature of search on these dating sites there are many other features that add value to the users and are used widely by them. Having a chat room at these sites comes under this category. Most singles who are members of the site often get into chat rooms within the site which are designed to cater to members with different tastes. The chat room is the best place to meet other singles and get a feel of their interests and personality and sometimes even just pass time with light banter. While most of these sites allow users to search for other users without registering one usually does need to register to use the chat facility. Other features that frequently by members are message boards which are also quite active places within a site where various people pose questions or comments and other members get involved in these and a thread starts growing.

Some sites also provide a mail box so that one can have their messages both Inbox and Sent from this site consolidated at one place in the site itself. This is a useful feature as it doesn’t clutter your regular mailbox and allows you to keep a track of the people who showed interest in you and the responses you got from the people that you showed interest in.

Other features that are available are creating a hot list for yourself where you can track all the people that you are interested in, creating a photo profile of yourself, uploading all your photos in which you look spectacular! And even access to details about various events happening around the country for Jewish singles.

One would find that the services described above would be present in almost all popular Jewish dating sites and access to these services vary from one site to the other. Normally these can be categorized in three categories, services for which membership is not needed, services for which membership is needed but the membership is basic and doesn’t cost money. And then services for which premium membership is needed which in most cases require a monthly subscription.

You can check out the various Jewish dating sites and look out for great singles around your area and kick off an interesting relationship soon!
