Restore Your Faith in Dating

Marty and I met on a Wednesday afternoon in June 2016 over coffee, for 4 hours, and he walked me to my car, gave me a little kiss - and we have been together ever since! We lived together for a few years - and got married on the day in June we met 6/22 (2021).

After messaging through Jdate and then talking on the phone and video chatting for several weeks, we decided to meet in person. We had our first date at a restaurant in South Beach. It was a very special day, and we both agreed that there were sparks and that maybe this was the start of something special. We had a lot in common, from a shared military background to our sense of humor, to our family values, and our level of Jewish observance. It turns out that it was the start of what would lead to a beautiful marriage.

We met in the chat room on Jdate, so we had a long-distance relationship at first. Paul flew to St. Louis a few months after we started talking to meet me in person and we had a week long of dating. We went on a float trip, attended parties, shopped, went out to eat, took a road trip for him to meet my mom, and Paul met the rest of my friends and family in town. We had such a great time that he extended his trip a few more days.
