Been There, Dated That

Peek into the world of Orthodox Jewish dating! Goldy Krantz’s weekly dating column isn’t like your grandmother’s advice column. Goldy writes about the highs and lows of blind “shidduch” dating in the Orthodox dating world. She publishes letters from readers that need to vent their frustrations about the dating system or need advice about a specific dating issue they’re having.

Goldy writes and responds like a good friend would. She tells it like it is. She was set up on dates for over a decade, just to find her husband had been in plain sight most of the time. She thought she’d seen and experienced it all, until she read some of the emails she received. As you read through a collection of her articles and how she connects with readers, you’ll come to understand that it doesn’t matter what age, religion, or ethnicity you are; we all share the common bond of bad dates.

What does everyone need at the end of a bad date? A good laugh! Laugh along with Goldy and her readers as they recount their bad dates or seek advice. Wouldn’t it be nice to know that others are having the same hard time as you? Goldy’s goal is to get singles out of a depressive dating funk and to be able to smile and laugh again. They should remember that God hasn’t forgotten about them, and they are one date closer to meeting their “zivug,” or soulmate.
