Dating as a Muslim is pretty hard.  I think it's extremely important to be patient and careful when selecting a life partner. I’ve had too many friends who have rushed into a marriage with a man they hardly know to rush into the divorce courts soon after. I do not want to end up like that! I'd rather take my time and date and get to know my future husband.

So dating as a Muslim is pretty much the same as everyone else. You go for dinner or a coffee and you chat, get to know the other person. Well except for the awkward times when you get to have the first date at your home with both sets of parents, siblings, family friends and a whole lot of awkwardness.... Yes, this actually happened to me... this has happened more than once...

I've dated many different ways. Blind dates, online dating, the family set-up dating and many more. Throughout this processive met many 'interesting' men. I've left dates crying from laughter, pain, frustrations, and depression. Unfortunately, in the Muslim community the women are of a much higher standard. Whether it be through their looks, education, religion, social skills, values, and flexibility. Yet we still have mothers coddling their sons and convincing them they are perfect the way they are and since there are more males than females... the lady will have to settle at some point...

I know this sounds depressing... this could be because this last date that I was on was essentially the last straw. My friends have always told me you really need to write a book or youtube channel talking about your experiences. In life I have always had such bad luck... this is been no different when it comes to dating.

So this blog will be entertaining and enlighting the world of the many different, crazy, shocking and at time depressing dates that I have been on.

Hope you enjoy the journey!!
