Your e-mail address is required to verify your membership and to send you notifications that you have received e-mail at JewishMatchmaker.com
Q: How can I protect my identity while using this dating site?
A:
Our email system is completely anonymous, so there is no need to worry - your
identity will not be revealed. Just make sure that you don't give out too
much personal information in your first email.

Q:What should I do if I receive an inappropriate message?
A:

Q: What is the safest way to meet someone in person for the first time?
A:
If you want to meet someone who you have been corresponding
with on this site, there are several precautions you should take, just to be safe.
First of all, meet in a public place, and arrive in separate cars.
If you're still apprehensive, bring a friend along
(if you choose to bring a friend, make sure you tell your date).
Second of all, make sure that you leave detailed information with a
reliable friend regarding who you are meeting and the exact
location of the date.
Q: After the initial encounter, where should we go on our first real date?
A:
For your first date, it is probably wise to go somewhere
where you can just talk without distraction. It is best not to go to a movie
this early in the relationship as it can be awkward to sit beside someone
you don't really know for two hours without saying anything.
Q: What do I do if I meet someone in person and then decide that I am not interested?
A:
Well, you can be blunt and say something like,
"Thanks. I enjoyed myself, but I don't think this will work out".
If this seems too harsh, you can take the indirect approach and say,
"Thank you for the date. Maybe we can do this again sometime".
Q: What kind of picture should I send?
A:
Pictures enhance your ability to attract the attention of other members to your ad.
Please send a good, recent picture of yourself alone.
It is preferable that you send a "head shot" that clearly shows your face.
Please note that any pictures which contain nudity,
pornography or other objectionable material will not be uploaded.
If you do not have a recent picture of yourself alone,
please e-mail your group picture to: "webmaster@JewishMatchmaker.com".
and describe yourself so that we can identify you.
We will be happy to crop it for you and attach it to your profile.
Q: How do I send my picture?
A:
There are several options:
- You can send us a picture using regular
(snail) mail. We will scan it in and attach it to your profile.
Just remember that shiny pictures do not scan well.
For our address see the contact us page.
- If you have a digital image of yourself
(maybe you scanned in a photo yourself) you can e-mail it to us
by adding the file to the e-mail as an attachment.
For our e-mail address see the contact us page.
- If you have a digital image of yourself
and your browser can support downloads (Netscape and Microsoft 4+ do)
you can download the picture straight into your profile.
You will find the download form as one of the options on the
members lounge page.
This form can be used to download a new photo or to replace your old photo at any time.
