Goldy Krantz Navigates the Marathon of Orthodox Jewish Dating

After enduring 195 dates over twelve years, Goldy Krantz turned her personal quest for a soulmate into a roadmap for the disillusioned. Her new book, "Been There, Dated That," blends the absurd realities of modern shidduch dating with the hard-earned wisdom required to maintain one's sanity in a high-pressure environment.

The collection draws from Krantz’s long-running "Dating Today" column, offering a candid look at the specific challenges of Orthodox Jewish matchmaking. By sharing her own path—she began dating at 19 and married at 32—Krantz validates the exhaustion felt by many singles navigating family expectations and dating résumés. She describes the process as a marathon, one where the primary goal is to protect one's self-worth against the backdrop of constant rejection and social scrutiny.

Beyond the humor of disastrous encounters, the book serves as a practical guide for setting boundaries and maintaining emotional readiness. Krantz addresses common hurdles like ghosting and financial awkwardness with blunt honesty. While she acknowledges that her experiences do not mirror every individual journey, she provides a lens into a close-knit culture where faith and resilience are the only tools capable of turning painful setbacks into progress. The work is now available through Archway Publishing, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.
