The Raw Truth about Dating Season...

The Raw Truth Dating Season….

I know you have been waiting and finally I have had sometime to write about this years experience. I should start this by saying I am not opposed to being introduced to people and I think that Passover is a good time to meet. I have seen many people meet people this way and this is clearly my experience or what I have seen. For those who are reading this who don’t understand the concept of the way Passover works in Miami it is very simple, it is a time of year that many Jews from around the country and world come to Miami with there families to celebrate this long ass holiday. When so many Jews are together one should not be surprised that everyone has marriage on the brain. The way that you meet people is very simple every one knows some one who knows some one so that is how you are introduced. You meet in a variety of places, the hotels themselves (a few become kosher) on the boardwalk (or what I like to call Jew walk) and at some events held during the week. The week reminds me of a meat market and we are the products for sale in a way. This year I tried to go to some events to gain an idea about more what this “Dating Season” is like so I walked the Jew walk, sat at the hotel and even attended some events. I have to say I met some interesting people but the best part to watch everyone else. To me I broke people in to two categories, “fishing” and “caught”, fishing meaning they are looking and caught means they have someone. The caught people are the best, they pretend they know everything and love to give advice how to land some one, and those who know me I like to punch those people in the face. They also like to brag, and show how happy they are, please give me a sharp blade I want to end my life maybe, not so much. The fishing people just have this determined look on their eyes to meet and I think they have a good philosophy which is if you throw enough shit on the wall something is going to stick. So watching this is something out of a movie, but it in a way it is a nice to see. I am one that believes in tradition and to see my fellow members of my tribe trying to meet others in the tribe is something nice. So in the end Diane is 0 and (I am not saying my age) but this year I think by being out their more and trying to be a little bit more open minded to it I think I have learned a thing or two.

Dating Season....

Dating Season……


Ok many of you know I go on a lot of first dates (maybe not as many as others but a decent amount) this past week was Passover or what I like to call (dating season). It is the only time of year that I Diane Klein wish I live in another state, I mean who wants to be surrounded by wall to wall Jews (I get itchy thinking about it). So many people I have known have met there significant other during this holiday, I mean it makes sense, lots of young Jewish people equals lots of Jewish mothers who are trying to marry off there kids. I mean I feel like a cow up for auction with who is going to bid the highest for me. If any of you watch “Millionaire Matchmaker” Patti is nothing compared to these people they are amazing to watch. Usual I hide during this time of year but this year I have taken a different approach I am going to watch this madness as much as I can so I can reflect on it. So I hope all of you will read my blog later this week and hear the full account of the madness
