In this week’s episode of “Such a Match!” host Emma Goss shows us how dating culture 30 years ago mirrors some of what singles experience today. The story begins in 1995 when Mike, a 32-year-old Bay Area transplant from Los Angeles, put an ad in the personals section of the Jewish Bulletin (this publication’s previous name). He received a promising response to his ad from a woman named Gwynne, who’s interested in meeting him for a date. Some of the men Gwynne had met before ghosted her and played games — so she was excited to meet Mike, a straightforward, no-nonsense mensch.
