Welcome to Free Press Cupid, The FP’s old-school matchmaking service for the young at heart, the old souls, the hopeless romantics, the hopeful curmudgeons, and everyone in between. We’ve already arranged one Free Press marriage via FP Cupid—read about their story, and tips for how to get the most out of your ad, here—and we’re eager to mint some more FP couples.

Below, find personal ads from singles near and far. If you like what you read and think you might be a match, reach out using the email provided. If you’d like to submit your own ad, write one up and send it to Cupid@TheFP.com. Remember: Keep it short, around 200 words, and be sure to include a little bit about yourself, including where you live, what you’re looking for in a partner, and the best email to use to get in touch with you. We post just a handful of ads a week, so if you don’t see yours right away, keep trying!

One more thing: FP Cupid is a service we offer to our paid subscribers. If you think that this community might be where you’ll find your special someone, subscribe, and then peruse the personal ads behind the paywall. Even if you don’t find a match right away, you’ll have access to all of our articles, the comments section, and early access to tickets to our events while you wait for your soulmate to show up.

Lots of love,

Ross, 35, New York City

I’m Ross. I work in finance but don’t worry; I have a personality. I’m looking for a guy to be my true partner in life: someone to discuss life’s big questions, have Shabbat dinner with me every week, hold me accountable for my (rare) mistakes, make me laugh, and perhaps most importantly, someone who reads The Free Press. I’ll do my best to reciprocate!

While I consider myself a serious person, I also try not to take myself too seriously. I’m a proud Jew and I love America. I have lots of interests that I’d love to share with someone—jazz, classical music, skiing, art, and cars, to name a few—and am known to make a mean martini. In the looks department, I’m six feet, trim, and have light features—your typical Ashkenazi phenotype. If you’ve made it this far and I’ve piqued your interest, drop me a line at relkin18@gmail.com.

Tanya, 52, Twin Cities, Minnesota

I’m youthful and fit but also in my matinee and early-bird special era. Outside of my corporate job at a locally based corporation, I enjoy reading, hiking, and ballet. Eagle spotting is a favorite pastime on my walks along the Mississippi. My favorite writers are Jane Austen and Cormac McCarthy. Imagine that blind date. I strive always to simplify and focus on what’s truly important: to see life steadily and see it whole.

I’m seeking a committed partner for the last less-than-half of my time on this mortal coil. If you’re also looking to embrace life with someone by your side, and you have something to bring to the table—I’m shy on specifics but bold on expectations—email me at tankwo@yahoo.com.
