My Single Peeps: Ari K.

I’ve been close with Ari’s sister for years, and the oddest thing about her is that she always has a smile on her face. Married to a self-confessed pain in the ass, four kids at 30, coupled with all the other life crap that bogs everyone down … she still has that smile on her face. And smiles are catching. Like mono, we have no idea how it’s passed from person to person. Just one of those mysteries.

Come All Ye Faithful

\”Men in their 30s are like milk,\” a rabbi recently said to me as I told him some stories about my dating life. \”The longer they sit out the more spoiled they get.\” For once, someone wasn\’t telling me, \”What\’s wrong with you?\” and was trying to say, \”What\’s wrong with all of them?\” Still, it was disheartening.

The Beastie Boys, Jesus and Me

I had been dating my girlfriend for a month when I told her that my parents were coming to town for their yearly visit from the East Coast. \”Do your parents know I\’m a shiksa?\” Laura asked, smirking sincerely. \”Not yet,\” I said. \”I haven\’t told them about you yet. But don\’t worry, they\’ll be cool with you not being Jewish.\” I said this, unsure if that last statement was completely true.

Modern Orthodoxy’s Marriage Crisis

Hard-to-marry-off children have been worrying parents since Genesis, when Leah, her eyes tender from the sadness of being unwanted, took part in a hoax to trick Jacob — her younger, prettier sister\’s suitor — into marrying her.

Valentine’s Day.com

\”J-ated,\” as in \”jaded,\” might be the best way to describe the ennui that has set in among many JDaters these days, singles tired of the merry-go-round of endless possibility and disappointment.

In spite of that, or because of it, new dating Web sites seem to pop up every day.

Secular Connection

I fell in love with a brilliant, attractive and witty Filipina woman last year. She was a fallen Catholic, didn\’t accept Jesus as her savior and was totally cool with raising kids Jewish.

Market Yourself Into Marriage

Why are you single?\” The woman who recently hurled this accusation at me, I suppose, intended it as a compliment: how could someone as ________ as me not have a husband?

Are You Frum.Com?

"Shtetlgirl" was having a hard time meeting religious men. She was used to dating men she met in youth programs and schools, but at 22, away from her hometown and living in Los Angeles, she found herself without a structured forum to meet anyone.

Put a Man On It

It is simply amazing that the Jewish people have managed to survive as long as we have, given our utter inability to do anything.
