Doron Avidan, 35, a wedding DJ and entrepreneur, says he is determined to marry this year and start a family; he seeks a partner who values communication and honesty, and dreams of children and a family life“I’m very sensitive and a hopeless romantic,” says Doron Avidan, 35, from Ramat Gan. “I’ll pick you up from home, I don’t mind distance, I’ll get out of the car and open the door for you, spoil you with gifts, kind words and romantic gestures. I’m also old school, less into texting and more into phone calls because deep conversations are the sexiest thing in the world.“I used to believe a lot in looks, but today I believe you can fall in love through good communication. I like talking on the phone and some women are put off or surprised by that because they don’t even save the number. For me it’s a kind of filter because the conversation, especially the energy, says everything,” he says.9 View gallery Doron Avidan (Photo: Courtesy)Avidan is a wedding DJ and chair of the nonprofit “Our Generation” (Hador Shelanu), which brings joy to children, supports soldiers and helps families in need. He describes himself as a social entrepreneur and people person. In his free time he works out, reads, focuses on personal development, spends time with family and watches sunsets at the sea. He wraps tefillin daily and on Fridays goes to synagogue with his father. He feels he has achieved everything he dreamed of except love, which he longs for.“The dream is to stand under the chuppah this year, God willing, with the love of my life,” he says. “I have a dream that my mother, who is a midwife, will deliver my child, her first grandchild. I’m someone who is built for relationships and I don’t believe in games, so maybe I come across as wanting too much, and that’s fine.“I’m very goal-oriented. I won’t date someone who is too young or not ready for marriage because I’ve already met women who said they are not looking for something serious, and I walked away. I’ve learned to ease the pressure and be more relaxed, and I believe things will work out. If I went out with someone and it didn’t work, at least I gained a friend.9 View gallery Doron Avidan (Photo: Courtesy)“I believe you need to be present in the situation, be patient and get to know your partner before deciding to move forward, because sometimes the dates you expect nothing from go the best places. I see people celebrating love all the time at work, so I know it’s possible.”Is it mentally difficult working at weddings while being single and wanting to marry?
