I have a date with a Muslim girl tomorrow and basically just wanted to ask for some Do's and Dont's since I really don't know much about Islam at the moment.

She's from my city in the US so I don't think she's as strict as someone from an Eastern Islamic country might be. For example, we met on a dating site and on there she's wearing regular clothes, showing her hair, arms, etc. On her fb, however, she's dressed in Hijab and traditional attire in every picture.

We've been texting and I asked her if making the trip to Mecca at some point was important to her, as I had a pair of twins who were Muslim as friends in HS, and they both expressed the trip being important to them. She said she's definitely going some day, so it's not like she's just Muslim in title only, you know?

I also asked if she wanted me to pick her up tomorrow, as I read that it's a cultural practice for the men to do the driving. But she said she'll meet me at the spot. I know she doesn't eat pork, idk if she drinks or not.

Obviously I have to get to know her, specifically and not just think of followers of Islamic faith in a cookie cutter way, but I'm literally just trying to get some tips to make a good impression and not unknowingly do something offensive. I'm agnostic with very little knowledge of Islam. Need a homie on here to tell me about Quran, put me on.

fam she aint an alien

not muslim but i would eat pork or drink as a safe precaution

Yeah bro it’s gonna take more than one post on KTT to tell you about everything in the Quran.

Just treat her with respect. You’ve gotten lucky as f*** finding a muslim woman. They respect men, they have respect for themselves, and they don’t cheat. Just don’t act like an a****** that just wants to have s***with her and you’ll be fine.

if she’s got her hijab on in FB but not on the dating site it sounds like she’s a lot more less hardcore muslim than you’re anticipating, because she’s not in the eyes of judging family

just don’t be too handsy/flirty early on and don’t bring up religion too much and i think ur good. A lot of people who are less muslim still inherent cultural norms because they’re raised that way and it’s good to respect it

most western muslims don’t live their life for the sake of religion like people make it seem so just approach her like any other woman. She likely has interests that align with yours!

When I saw you I thought mashallah. Now I see you and think inshaallah

P much be modest and dont be weird. Like any other first date

I looked up the meaning of both words and both translate to God Will's It?

astrugfullah

What she look like?

Mashallah when you see something beautiful and praise god

Inshallah when you ask God to put something in your life, if God wills it

I dated a girl from Palenstine. She was thicc n fine af. Smh, she was still assimilating with western society even though they were funding what's goin on back home. America really b out here on the low.

That was an actual key potential reason why we'd still date, the acknowledgment of how corrupt America and the Israelis are. :eyeroll:

When I saw the first post I figured it was a diss but when I looked it up I was flummoxed lol

Op if she wearing a hijabi but willing to go on a date wit a non muslim its pretty obvious she not that religious

I'm not Muslim, but I talked to a few Muslim girls well since only non white ppl out here is middle eastern or east African

they easy to talk to tbh and I never experienced them bring up religion or nun

I could be butchering this and if so, I hope someone itt corrects me, but I think this can happen under Halal Dating without it meaning that she isn't invested in Islam. From my initial reading marriage with a non-Muslim is directly forbidden, but dating one isn't in less-strict interpretations

If she's muslim and hijabi I don't know why the hell she's on dating apps talking to non muslims for

like no offense to you but its directly against the religion to do this

what got you so dead

@chicknparm is this all wrong?

Dating is haram period

She's probably conflicted herself and just wants some interaction/experience talking to guys

maybe alienated away from muslim guys because religious ones know they'd need to marry her/wouldn't disrespect a hijabi by flirting
