Who you might meet
-
Some Jewish members want a Jewish partner and will say so. Some will not care. Some are observant in ways a stranger cannot see from a Friday-night assumption. An account and an outgoing message cost nothing. Reading a reply and writing back need a plan.
-
Do not open with a test: a Hebrew word used as a sorter, a joke about mothers, a question planted to rank people. If faith and practice matter to the match you want, put your own practice in the profile in ordinary sentences.
-
Leave politics out of a first message unless you have both already chosen that subject. Screening runs on messages. Say the city. Faith is theirs to describe, in their own words.
What to say
-
Your practice
Say it in ordinary sentences if it matters. Let them do the same, or not.
-
In their own words
Skip the trick question and the joke. A hello about the week is enough.
-
The city
Johannesburg and Cape Town are different communities of people, not one ladder.
Questions
Do I have to prove observance?
No, say your own practice if you want to. Do not test theirs; leave politics out of a first message unless you have both already chosen that subject. Do not open with a test: a Hebrew word used as a sorter, a joke about mothers, a question planted to rank people.
Is the first message free?
Yes, joining, looking, and writing the message are free. Reading a reply and writing back need a plan. Leave politics out of the first note unless you have both already chosen it. Messages are screened automatically, so name the city you can actually reach.
Should politics be in message one?
Only if you have both already chosen that subject, and otherwise leave it. An account and an outgoing message cost nothing. Reading a reply and writing back need a plan. Johannesburg and Cape Town are different communities of people, not one ladder.
How do we meet?
A public place in the city you both named, with your own way home. Johannesburg and Cape Town are the cities to name if that is where you can meet. Some will not care, and some are observant in ways a stranger cannot see from a Friday-night assumption.
