Why can't I find a nice Jewish man, eventhough I am not Jewish?
and where should I look for?

If you want to marry a Jewsih man try some of the Jewish dating sites. However many there may be looking specifically for other Jewish people perhaps from family or peer pressure. You may face a lot of rejections. Otherwise go on a long holiday to Israel, say volunteer at a Kibbutz or turn up to your local reform Synagogue, and say you want to convert.

You're wise to think about this now, instead of later. Some Jewish men will marry outside their faith, but others won't. This depends on a number of things: how observant they are; how they feel about their future children's faith; and their familes' view on the matter. My own dear husband is Jewish. His late wife (married for 53 happy years!) was a Baptist. He loved her with all his heart, but their children (now all adults) were not raised Jewish. This is something that secretly saddens him. His hope is that, perhaps, his grandchildren may someday take an interest in Judaism. I mentioned this situation because it may have bearing on what your boyfriend may wish for the future. I certainly hope that your respective beliefs won't be a wedge between you; best wishes to you!

Yes i believe they must marry Jewish women, because in the jewish religion, the children follow the mother's religion not father's; which is probably why you cannot find many Jewish men.
Hope I Helped!
Good Luck!

According to the Old Testament, a Jewish person can't marry a gentile. But most Jews nowadays are secular and many marry non-Jews. You could marry a Jewish man if you wanted, it just depends on his particular beliefs about it.

They don't unless they want their children to be jewish. The religion is passed by the mother. I always joke to my nieces who have a Jewish mother and a Catholic father and were raised Catholic that they are Jewish.

No. They don't. Why do you want to find a nice Jewish man? They're probably all spoken for.

a synagogue would be an idea or a jewish community, although one of the previous answerers hit the nail on the head they are probably already married, so how about a jewish boys high school?
good luck

Well that's kinda like asking if a Christian man has to marry a Christian woman. So the answer is no, unless he is very religious.

Jewish men have to marry Jewish women if they want to have Jewish children.
Why don't you look for a man of your own faith?????????
