Tamar Caspi
Tamar used to believe you should accept every first date you’re asked on because you never knew when it was going to be your last. With that philosophy in mind, Tamar went on hundreds of first dates but only a few second dates and thought she had the dating game down to a science.
As her own journey unfolded, so too did her attitude towards dating: she realized that although dating is a numbers game, there’s no algorithm. Tamar knew it was time to change her approach — and her mindset.
Tamar had so many funny and shocking dating stories that she began writing about them in 2007 and her internationally-syndicated dating advice column turned into a book titled “How to Woo a Jew: The Modern Jewish Guide to Dating and Mating”.
