JDate: You are a drug. You are addicting.

45 days ago I made a conscious decision to leave JDate.com behind and move forward. Delete my profile and say goodbye. I believed I was over online dating. I believed that I no longer needed “a crutch” to find her. I finally realized that I am (and have been) a good catch and could find an attractive, young lady to go out on a date with…without the help of the Internet.
Even with this new found self-esteem, 45 days and not a week goes by without me thinking about the site or the possible missed opportunities. I have pondered many times about returning simply to look. I have pondered many times what females have signed up in the days since I left. I have pondered what I could be missing.

All Jews know about this site while a good amount have actually used it at one point. As most Jews are, they are persuaded by some family member, to sign-up so that he/she could be one of the success stories highlighted on JDate.
My JDate story starts more years ago than I would like to admit (6) when both my mom and sister suggested I sign up. Off the bat, I started talking to someone and then hung out with her a few times. It never turned into anything, but it was definitely a good start. That success was few and far between, even though oddly enough, I ended up in 3 relationships. My first one lasted the longest at 5 months, but as we all know, was an uphill battle from the start. Read the rest of this entry »
