Jordanian dating app for Jordanian singles in the US

Jordanian dating is a small world, so privacy matters

Meet someone from Amman, Irbid, Zarqa, Salt or Karak and there is a good chance their family knows yours, or knows of it. Many Jordanian families also have Palestinian roots, and plenty of people grew up with both, so origin on a profile is rarely a single word.

If you would rather not run into your aunt's neighbor, you can block your phone contacts so they never see your profile. Numbers are hashed on our servers, so we never store them in plain form.

Spread across the country

Jordanian Americans live in Michigan, the Chicago area, New Jersey, Texas and California, among other places, and outside the bigger hubs you may be the only Jordanian in your city. The distance setting has an Anywhere option, so you can meet people beyond your zip code.

Distance, age, religion and relationship goals are all filters, and they are soft by default. People who do not fit still appear, further down, unless you turn on Dealbreaker for a filter.

Say it in your own voice

Jordanian Arabic sounds different in Amman, in the north and in the south, and a voice intro lets people hear which one is yours. It is a 30 second recording, and you choose the prompt.

Vouches help in a community where people trust people they know. A friend or cousin writes a few honest lines, you approve them, and they show on your profile next to an optional verified badge.

Mansaf is a serious subject

In a Jordanian house, mansaf is how a family says welcome. It shows up at weddings, at Eid and the first time someone's parents come over. People have strong views on the jameed, on eating it by hand, and on anyone who asks for a fork.

That is why "Knafeh, mansaf, or molokhia. Pick one and defend it." gets such long answers from Jordanians. Coffee matters too. A small cup of bitter qahwa sada, poured a little at a time, and you shake the cup when you have had enough.
