How does the site work?

To get started, become a member and post your profile. Your profile enables others to find out about you and your interests from favourite food through to your ambitions and goals in life. Once you've got their interest, they have the opportunity to get into contact with you via our internal messaging system.

All your personal contact information, even your email address, remains completely confidential until you decide to exchange this information. SomeoneJewish is fun, interactive and secure.

SomeoneJewish allows you to find people with the qualities you're looking for. Running a full search allows you to find compatible people, from preferences that include height, body size, Jewish tribe, hair colour, keeping kosher, interests, where they live, and more.

All profiles are stored on a secure database that has profiles of other Jewish singles from around the world. So whether you're just happy to browse the profiles, narrow the search for some particular qualities, or get really specific with our advanced search option, you're in the right place to find a whole world of new experiences.

What are my Member benefits?

Your membership on SomeoneJewish connects you with a global community of Jewish singles that are looking for quality and genuine relationships. As a member, you'll have the following benefits:

  • the ability to create your own personal profile and post a picture to create the opportunity to meet other members.
  • access to all member profiles.
  • the option to update your profile and picture as often as you wish.
  • advanced search capabilities to find compatible matches.
  • exposure and involvement in a community that is based on genuineness
    (we manually approve all profiles to protect the integrity of our members).
  • the option to initiate contact with members.

How do I create and manage my profile?

If you want anyone to contact you, you will need to create your own profile - your membership to SomeoneJewish allows you to contact others.

First, log on. Then click on the Profile button in account page, and click on the "Edit your profile". This will take you through a list of questions to complete that describes you, your interests.

You can also upload up to 6 files photos

As we review all profiles on SomeoneJewish to protect our members from inappropriate or obscene material, as well as personal information (we do this for everyone's privacy), your profile will be visible within 24 hours, rather than immediately.

You can also upload your photo at the same time or you can opt to do this at a later stage. It's worth noting that members with photographs get considerably more responses than those without.

While your profile is being approved, it's a good time to check out who's around, and think about what you're going to email them.

How do I browse/search profiles?

You can browse profiles without registration and without logging on. However, you need to Subscribe to contact another member. In addition, you also need to log on to contact another member. SomeoneJewish offers these search options:

  • Quick Search - Find your ideal match now
     
  • Online Now Search - See who is on line now
     
  • Username Search - Seen a username - find it here
     
  • Keywords Search - Looking for something particular (e.g. favourite type of food or cultural interests)
     
  • Advanced Search - All the search options and choices

How do I contact someone?

Once you've done the really hard part - selecting who you want to contact - actually getting in touch with them is easy. Send them a message or a schmooze and wait to see what happens.

Guidelines to Successful Online Dating

Online dating is a great way to meet new friends, form meaningful relationships and even find that special someone. It's safe and secure - provided you take common sense precautions.

Online dating - doing it safely

Of course there is no practical way to make meeting a stranger absolutely safe, but here are some effective ways to help reduce the risk.

Before the first date!

  1. Get an anonymous e-mail account.
  2. NEVER post your real name anywhere online. Remove it from chat programs, and any email accounts that you use for recreational correspondence. If you need to get one, try Hotmail or Yahoo.

    TOP TIP: Hotmail and Yahoo provide users with the option to BLOCK SENDER which is an ideal feature if you want to stop correspondence with someone who is persisting with sending you emails.

  3. Take time!
  4. Nothing will give you better prospective than time. During your communication, has your date's habits, mood or language changed? Are you becoming more suspicious of something with time; perhaps something just doesn't feel right?

    While there is never a right or wrong time to meet, we recommend that you exchange at least half a dozen emails prior to meeting, and make sure that you chat via phone before you meet. That way both of you will get to know the one another a bit better. Romance and relationships take time, and if it's that someone special, what's the hurry!

  5. Ask to have a family/friends photo!
  6. Is your date a 'family person'? Is (s)he proud of the children? Do the kids seem to match the details you were told? If they don't have family around, get a picture of them with their friends.

  7. Get a physical address and mail a card.
  8. Use a return address that will not reveal your identity or your physical address (i.e. just use your screen name and a PO Box or work address) and see if the card is returned for any reason. Allow a minimum of 10 days to receive returned mail if the address turns out to be bogus. This is particularly important if you're meeting someone from overseas.

  9. Ask about previous relationships.
  10. Although what's past is past, if you're thinking of this person as a life-long partner, was your date previously married? In any long term relationships? Why did they end? Does there seem to be any remorse? Should there be? Does your date seem to have recovered from the separation or dissolving of the relationship? Always ask "What would the other person say about you?" Listen, listen, listen! If it feels right, ask questions. If it all feels wrong, ask questions. If it doesn't seem to add up, it might not.

For the first date!

  1. Clarify everyone's expectations.
  2. Nothing hurts a relationship or friendship more than poor communication! If you are both on the same wavelength you are less likely to get hurt. If you are not on the same wavelength, perhaps its best to wait until you are! If you're travelling overseas to meet, see the OVERSEAS section below.

  3. Always use common sense.
  4. Just because you have known someone online for some time, do not let down your guard any sooner than with a 'traditional' date. Be careful about giving out your phone number and/or address. Also be very cautious about saying that you live "alone" when you're giving out details. Mention that you have an "overly nosey neighbour", or that friends always drop by unexpectedly.

  5. Double date if possible/or meet with a group
  6. Best friends are always keen to know about a new person in your life, so maybe they can come along too or at least meet this new person. If you judge that to be too awkward, ask if your best friend might also take in the same activities and kind of keep an eye peeled for you.

  7. Always conduct early dates in very public places
  8. Go to a restaurant in a public place with lots of people or a bar at a popular hotel. Always be near other people.

  9. Do not use your date for transportation
  10. If you want to end the date or need to end the date, don't be left in the unenviable position of being reliant to their transportation. Do not leave your car behind! Arrive on your own and leave alone, for every date until you are absolutely certain you know them.

    TOP TIP: Take the number of a car service company and use them if you need to.

  11. Think Ahead
  12. Know in advance where police and fire stations are so you know where you can get help if needed. Anticipate some snags, and pre-plan your response.

  13. Never leave your food or beverages unattended.
  14. Powerful new drugs exist that can make you prey to the other person's wishes and hardly recall anything in the morning. If you start to feel ill, insist on calling a friend or take a taxi if you are too ill to drive home.

  15. Let someone know your plans.
  16. Always tell at least one person of what you are doing and who you are going to be with, including name and phone number as well as address. If its convenient, try to get your date's car plate number and leave the information on your answering machine at home or with a friend. Bring along a mobile and during your date, call a friend or family member just to say "hello" or get your friend of family member to call you during the date and tell them how you are getting on. Keep in contact! Agree to be home at a certain hour, and call to let them know you will be late.

Travelling Overseas to Meet your "Mate"

  1. Make out a detailed itinerary
  2. Provide family/friends a day-by-day itinerary of what you'll be doing

  3. Be aware of social and cultural differences
  4. Remember that regardless of how wonderful and ideal the other person sounds via email and on the phone, if you're travelling overseas to meet that someone special, there are often significant social and cultural differences that may impact your overall impression of that person. Even though you may share the same religion, there could be other differences that you were not fully aware of. Discuss these BEFORE you go, and make sure that your values and expectations are mutual.
