"Each relationship ends on a dif-
ferent note. Sometimes it's very
easy to be friends with an ex.
Sometimes it's difficult to be in
the same room."
The bottom line, Ms. Stark-
man says, is be polite and move
on.
"Keep on expanding your so-
cial circles and concentrate on the
new relationships
you're forming."
Thirty-four-year-old
"Dan" (apparently,
he's shy) wishes Jew-
ish singles would just
chill out. Complaint
number one: People
are too worried about
getting married in
their 20s.
"It just seems that
when (Jewish federa-
tions) have singles
functions in other
cities, meeting people
is the by-product of the
event. Here, it's the fo-
cus. The women are
desperate in this
town," he says. "You
can hear their biologi-
cal clocks ticking."
Dan's second com-
plaint: "It's a tough
town. Generally, the
women want you to
bring along a copy of
your 1040 form."
Ouch. Is this scathing ap-
praisal of single Jewish females
true to reality? Nicole Minkin
thinks not.
"We know why 'Dan' is single
at 34. You can quote me on that
and you can use my real name,"
says the 23-year-old Ms. Minkin.
"I wouldn't wish this guy on any-
one."
In defense of Jewish women,
Ms. Minkin says: "I happen to
think the girls at these events pri-
marily are looking for new friend-
ships. But for those who are
seeking relationships, they're just
looking for a man who's honest,
respectful and courteous. Na re-
sume, no financial statement nec-
essary."
Jousting aside, dating within
the faith is important to many
singles who attended YAD's most
recent bar nite on Oct. 25. But not
everyone there was single. Some
came with spouses. And not
everyone there had plans to mar-
ry someone Jewish.
"Carrie" met a serious
boyfriend in law school. He's not

Jewish.
"I get pressured, but not from
my family — believe it or not,"
she says. "I get pressured by
friends I tell. They look at me and
say, 'Oh yeah? He's not Jewish?'
It's more like disbelief."
When Carrie mentions that
her boyfriend is agnostic, that
they plan on marrying in a tem-
ple and that they'll raise their
children Jewish, her critics ease
off.
"It makes it more acceptable,"
she says.

Usually, ads for men outnum-
ber the ads for women, but some-
times not by much. In general,
young adults witness their female
peers getting serious about dat-
ing during their mid-to-late 20s.
For men, it's "when I meet the
right girl," or "when I feel ready."
The pressure to marry is
everywhere, not just from par-
ents, not just from friends. For
many, this intensifies with each
engagement party, shower and
wedding ceremony they attend.
"Every other weekend there's
another shower andyou start
thinking, 'When is it going to be
my shower and what's wrong
with me?,' " says the recently-en-
gaged Jenifer Adler, director of
