My Single Peeps: Isaac S.
When Isaac sits down to speak with me, I see the rugged beard with a shot of gray around the chin, the athletic build and the tight-fitting Israeli-style clothes, and I think, I know exactly who this guy is. He has an Israeli accent, so when he first says to me, In Israel I was in the army and then came here and worked as a professional dancer, Im not sure Ive heard correctly. A dancer? I ask him to repeat himself.
Lawrence J.
Lawrence is a South African Jew who has been in Southern California since he was 10. I met him through his sister, Francine, who briefly dated my eldest brother after they met abroad on a high-school trip. I hadnt seen Francine in years, so she tagged along for the interview.

Alexa N.
Alexa initially wrote to me because she was interested in one of my single peeps. She attached a picture of herself a headshot, where she looked like she was 14 years old. My friend never responded, probably fearful of getting arrested on a date with a ninth-grader.

Ruthie B.
Ruthie, who is 81 now, was raised in Chicago. An abused child, she was sent away to live on a farm called Glen Eyrie in Delavan, Wis. You know what it was like in the 30s if you had a mean mother no one talked about it. I know how to milk cows, kill chickens.

Altara M.
Altara is an only child, raised in New York. She wants to find a man from the East Coast. And when she wants something, she goes after it. Thats how she got in this column.
Michele K.
As soon as Michele sits down with me, she says, Im crap at talking about myself. Hear it with a British accent, and its 10 times cuter. Ive known Michele for years shes a friend of a friend and I realize I dont know a whole lot about her. She really is crap at talking about herself. Shes a great listener. And unlike the rest of us who moved to Los Angeles because were desperate for attention due to getting lost in big, loud families and having dead fathers (just me?), Michele is quietly comfortable with who she is.
JDate study claims more Jewish marriage matches than its competitors
The Jewish dating Web site JDate recently announced results from a study that claims the site is responsible for facilitating more Jewish marriages than all other dating Web sites combined. The study, commissioned in-house by JDates parent company, Spark Networks, and conducted by the research company ResearchNow, reportedly was based on a survey of 948 Jewish Internet users who have married since 2003. Of those surveyed, 52 percent said they met their match on JDate, compared with Match.com, which facilitated 17 percent, and eHarmony, which can claim 10 percent.

J Keith
When I first met J Keith, I found his personality really grating. A friend brought him to a softball game my wife and I used to organize every Sunday. He was competitive and started to take over the game. Im not competitive. Im not a huge fan of sports. But I loved our low-key softball games. And this guy was f---ing them up.

Abby L.
Abby came to me via her mother, who e-mailed me after reading a My Single Peeps column. Abby, who is 34 and a stand-up comic, says she asked her mom a founder of the Malibu Jewish Center & Synagogue to use her contacts to hook her up with someone like David Letterman. Instead, her mom came back with, I have someone better. I hooked you up with Seth from My Single Peeps. I cant help her stand-up career, but maybe I can help her meet her soul mate.
Nicole M.
My first impression of Nicole, when she met me at my local Starbucks, was how adult-like she seems. I know that sounds silly seeing as shes a 31-year-old woman but Im 36, and my mannerisms probably havent changed a whole lot since I was a teenager. I still beatbox to myself, continuing my childhood fantasy of being one of the members of the Fat Boys. One day

Cool Songs? It’s a Miracle!
The popular Jewish online dating site expanded its search capabilities this month to allow gay men -- and also lesbians -- to seek matches. The Web site now asks people for their gender and the gender they're searching, allowing men to search for men and women to search for women.
Picture Imperfect
Although we had never met, I knew I would have no trouble recognizing Brenda the second she walked into the Melrose Avenue bar where I sat waiting for her. After all, it was her photograph -- the leonine curve of her green eyes and coquettish cap of blond curls -- that compelled me to contact her on an online dating site where I happened upon her profile. We conversed via e-mail and agreed to meet in person.
