Check out this Top 10 List: “10 Things You Need to Know Before Dating the Outgoing Introvert.” While it is helpful to know this information before dating an “outgoing introvert,” it is generally good to be able to understand someone else’s perspective. A relationship is not always about the way you see it. In order to compromise, you should listen and try to understand another’s perspective. This is especially important in dating.
Have you been finding your dates (or hook-ups) through a mobile App?
In Maxim Magazine’s July/August 2014 “Mind the App” article, the author talked about mobile Apps being the new chat room. He aptly points out that people keep looking to technology (Carrot Dating, Whisper, etc.) as a shortcut for finding a real connection, only to find this is very rarely the case.
Meanwhile, San Francisco seems to be churning out new Apps all the time. Here is another one: The League. Shown in the New York Times photo attached to an article on the League is a Cleveland native (Melissa Eisenberg).

This App seems to be compensating for some of the current issues with App dating, such as instant updates, more hook-ups than relationship development, and no filtering of suggested matches. The author of this article admits some of the issues with App dating, one being that people try to start a relationship via texting, instead of talking. These Apps can keep you busy but still make you feel distant from other humans. Having a personal touch, such as a human (not computer) matchmaker can bring us one step closer to being human.
Cleveland Yentas uses technology, but we still keeps it real: real humans making matches, strongly encouraging people to talk on the phone, instead of text on it, and having people actually meet face-to-face.
It is a tough dating world out there; Cleveland Yentas would like to help.
Dun dun dun…It is coming. Valentine’s Day. While this is definitely not a Jewish holiday, many Jews choose to celebrate or dwell on it. Instead of focusing your efforts to having a date for this one night of the year, spend some time trying to find the right person year round.
Check out some of these events to be social and create more opportunities to meet and be with other Jews…for dating or just friendship.

As reported by ABC News and later on XM, here are Patti Stangers’s Extra Holiday Dating Tips
(All sound advice):
- The holidays aren’t an excuse to break my two-drink maximum rule. Eggnog counts!
- Don’t rush into meeting the family just because it’s around the holidays. You don’t want to ruin a good thing by moving the relationship too fast.
- Packs don’t attract. Be bold and go out by yourself even if it’s to a New Year’s Eve party. You may even get a kiss at midnight!
- Don’t talk about your ex. It doesn’t make your date feel special, plus no man likes to compete with a stranger.
- Don’t talk about your online dating war stories as it neutralizes the sex appeal. No one wants to date a complainer.
- Don’t talk too much on the date (TMI). Let your partner get in a word as Chatty Cathy never gets the guy.
- Don’t brag about your resume. Resumes are for work, not your love life.
- Don’t ask 21 questions. Dating is not the Spanish Inquisition — it is best to ping pong the questions back and forth, which ignites stimulating conversation.
