I Tried Jewish Dating Washington DC and had a Great Time
I moved to Northern Virginia two years ago and a co-worker, who is also single, suggested we go to a Jewish Dating Washington DC event hosted by Professionals in the City. I thought to myself, "Speed dating??? What a joke. I mean how do you get to really know the person in 5 minutes?" I figured it was a way for people to meet quickly and then just have sex.
Boy was I wrong! But first let's start from the beginning. When I moved here from Florida I was very lonely. It made me sad to see couples doing their Christmas shopping, kissing each other on the street and I guess just being "a couple." And it also felt like everywhere I looked was a baby, which I long for. So I decided to go to a Jewish dating website that matches Jews with other Jews. That experience was sometimes fun, sometimes not.
I wanted a man to be exclusive with and I found that many people from that site just wanted to date lots of women at the same time. But in the back of my mind I kept thinking about the Jewish Dating Washington DC events however I still wanted to try other ways.
I went to a Jewish dating service and that was worse then the online site. There, I basically felt like a piece of meat. They'd take your profile and fix you up with a man they thought you would like. But the profiles were so short I couldn't imagine how they even knew the type of man I was looking for. They just wanted my money!
I finally went to Jewish Dating Washington DC and it was NOT what I expected. The speed dating took place for an hour, but there was time afterwards to mix and mingle at the bar and talk further with people you were really interested in during your "date." I met a terrific man there and we've been on several amazing dates ever since. It's a great event so give it a try.
