Using the Internet to rekindle summer camp and youth group romances

well-developed athleticism who was a quick stitch with lanyard

unless you were one of the crafty types who mastered the triple
diamond pattern imported by the European counselors - all the
qualities which made your match attractive at age 12 are
probably quite similar to the traits you find yourself seeking
today. And you know at least one person who possesses them. 
	Chances are, the object of your summer camp or youth group
romance is also still looking for the right Jewish person with
whom to share his or her humor, intelligence and energy. And the
Internet is the best place for the two of you to reconnect. 
	Use what you remember about your first true love to narrow your
search of potential matches. Hometowns, alma maters and unique
interests are good places to start. Even better, search for the
name of your summer camp (and make sure you add it to your
profile): if your target doesn't turn up, a mutual acquaintance
- a.k.a. another dating prospect - might. There's fun in taking
risks: just like back at summer camp
