Survey says…

…that if you want to succeed in the world of Jewish dating, stop yakking on your cell phone, wait a couple of days to ask a girl out, and ladies: don’t act interested if you’re not. Guys don’t appreciate it.

JCafeLA’s “Jewish Family Feud” game, where everyone had to ask four members of the opposite sex to answer survey questions about dating, was a fun little ice breaker that gave people a good excuse to approach whoever they’d been eyeing all night. Besides stimulating connections, the game also generated some interesting results. Here they are:
