I am on JDate, but I was not born Jewish, why I joined cause 1, I am wiling to formally convert, 2, I learned about the religion from my ex, 3 my friends recommended it. That said, I do think people should be honest. Not allowing non Jews who are wiling to convert would just invite people on to lie, cause on a dating site, it is your word that people are reading. I don’t however see the point in joining if you are not wiling to convert or open to the idea, as it is a paid site. Also, why would you lie if you rae looking for a serious relationship with somebody, they have to find out sometime right? Religion has an impact on your life in many ways, how you want ot raise your family your lifestyle, so I do understand why people want to date within there faith. I don’t think however that an honest non-jew wiling to convert would be taking away from somebody who wants to date only Jewish people because there would still be the same amount of Jewish people on the site. Being honest is important in any dating site, also now that you have to be a paid member, I think most of the members are serious about what they put on there, JDate used to be free.

yeah that does seem kind of misleading, going on J Date if your’e not Jewish, but then again that could be questioned, because Jewish isnt just a religion, its a cultural/ethnic identity also. There are plenty of agnostic Jews on alot of sites including J Date. So could i equate that with a white guy having a preference Asian girls being on an Asian site?

I would just be kind of put off being there, im not Jewish and i would expect any man there to expect me to be Jewish so I would feel silly.. Not to mention i don’t see a specific reason i’d go scoping out Jewish guys. I do date Jewish guys sometimes, but i think th ats because im in NYC and you just can’t help running into them. Yes i will admit, many of them are nice guys, that doesn’t mean they are ideal partners or soul mates. At the end of the day we are all just humans with our flaws

I am Jewish and on Jdate. I have absolutely no problem with someone being there that is not Jewish. Simply state that fact in your profile, and leave it up to individual members to decide if they want to go out with you or not. Simple as that.

What about people who were raised in Jewish neighbourhoods and have mostly Jewish friends, and have more in common with Jewish culture/religion than other cultures/religions? Where are they supposed to go? IMO, they should be allowed to join, but should state that they are not “officially” Jewish up front. Honesty, in any relationship, regardless of faith, is important.

simply because you can’t tell people that this is an apple field and then you grow oranges there as well.

it is a Jew site and not a Christian or Muslim. if you are not Jewish and you like Jewish woman or men. Then, you should fine a site that have mix religion like match. COM. you say there what is your religion and you make the decision weather you ok trying with some one who is not the same believe as yours.
That is a specific site for Jews only and it should stay this way and if you not then go to match. COM they will take just any one and then it will be up to you too to make that dictions if it works for you or not.
Jdate is for Jews and any other way it will be misleading and that is not good.

I have been in the long process of converting to Judaism for several years. One thing, that’s held me back is that, as much as I really do want to convert, I will not do so, if it means that I won’t ever get married or have children. It’s not something I’m wiling to budge on. I just joined jdate finally b/c it was the first opportunity to meet a sizable amount of possible jewish matches for me. I checked the “willing to convert.”
I don’t think that non-Jews on jdate are a bad thing, as long as they are upfront about it & willing to convert.
