JDate is responsible for more Jewish marriages than all other dating sites combined! But we’ve got more than just statistics to back it up. In our “Success Stories” feature, you’ll meet real couples who found love online.

Rachel & Adam

How did you meet? What was your first date like? Give us all the details!
After a few witty email exchanges on JDate, Adam suggested we meet for coffee. We found a very nice coffee spot and initially wanted to order the same drink! But we opted for different ones. We still do that, actually; we have lots of similar preferences, but prefer to share different choices. He was funny, I was impressed by his intellect and looks! He thought I was also smart, interesting and cute, I guess. We parted with a hug and he emailed me with a witty follow-up the next day. We went out again, and again…

Describe the moment you knew it was true love!
I was a little sick a few months later, so we went out for pho. It was winter, and after dinner, we stood on a nondescript corner watching it snow, feeling incredibly happy in spite of the weather and feeling sick.

What advice would you give other JDaters?
Make sure to give potential dates a chance. Our relationship took about two or three dates to really start working. And even after that, it took a few months to really sink in. The good ones are worth waiting for!
