The article might be a bit old [July 2] but the story is fascinating. A man, Ron James, who recently went through a divorce after thirteen years of marriage decides to “get back on the horse.” He joins JDate, one of the largest dating sites for Jewish men to try to find his perfect match. Since his job didn’t pay well he would often “stack” dates at the different Starbucks’ near Grand Central Station in New York City. When he finally finds the woman of his dreams, Sheryl Daija, it turns out she got married on the same day he did back on May 30, 1993. Eeerie.
The strangest part of all this is that the article mentions numerous twenty somethings joining JDate that weren’t Jewish. I guess I am going about my “glory years” all wrong since I could be hitting on 44-year old shayners. I’m just glad that this story isn’t about someone finding their perfect someone on plentyoffish.com. Eeesh.
