There are two places most people keep a picture of theirperfect match: in the back of their minds - readily accessiblefor comparative purposes during first dates - and tucked away intheir old sleepaway camp scrapbooks.
There was sure to be one winner among the whirlwind summerromances that made camp worth the price (although your parentswere probably thinking more along the lines of cultural pridewhen they wrote the check): an end-of-the-season dance partnerwith enviable good looks, a wry sense of humor andwell-developed athleticism who was a quick stitch with lanyardstring.
While lanyards probably don't matter much to you anymore -unless you were one of the crafty types who mastered the triplediamond pattern imported by the European counselors - all thequalities which made your match attractive at age 12 areprobably quite similar to the traits you find yourself seekingtoday. And you know at least one person who possesses them.
Chances are, the object of your summer camp or youth groupromance is also still looking for the right Jewish person withwhom to share his or her humor, intelligence and energy. And theInternet is the best place for the two of you to reconnect.
Use what you remember about your first true love to narrow yoursearch of potential matches. Hometowns, alma maters and uniqueinterests are good places to start. Even better, search for thename of your summer camp (and make sure you add it to yourprofile): if your target doesn't turn up, a mutual acquaintance- a.k.a. another dating prospect - might. There's fun in takingrisks: just like back at summer camp
