New Post on WJW

I have a new post up on the Washington Jewish Week blog Young, Single and Jewish, titled "Dating the Chosen." I wonder whatever it could be about?

Here's a snippet:

"J-Date is probably the biggest contribution to the Jewish dating scene since Manischewitz spritzers, and it has vastly changed the way in which I date.

Yes, I admit it. I’m on J-Date.

I finally took the plunge and bought a membership about a year ago per my mother’s suggestion (surprise, surprise) following a string of non-Jewish boyfriends. I had decided that for reasons both practical and emotional, I would try to limit my dating pool to Jewish men. However, I found little success with the traditional mixers and events. For whatever reason, and perhaps my findings were skewed, men at these events tended to fall into one of three categories: 1) the men itchin’ to get a’hitchin’, 2) the skeevy 35-year-olds chasing women nearly a decade their junior, or 3) the chronically awkward ‘repeat offenders,’ so called because of the astounding number of singles events they attend. "

Yes, I'm on J-Date and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Read the rest here.
