Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
Aside from my religious views on dating (which hold that dating is not allowed in Islam) , I simply detest the idea of getting emotionally attached to someone without the committment from them that they will at least try to spend the rest of their life with you.
Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
^ I agree.
Its no use spending time dedicating yourself to someone in a relationship that is more close than friendship, when there is no certainty that this person is not gonna be there forever. Let alone share your body with them.
But I don't see anything wrong in conversing with the opposite sex, and keeping your options open.
You can always passively look...instead of actively be on the hunt for someone.
Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
Islam forbids everything. If the two Muslims are committed to marry each other and are not just “passing time”, there is no harm in talking and seeing each other.
Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
Well, I was referring to the American concept of dating of messing around, "having fun", passing time like you siad. If they are committed to marry then that's good for them, but there's no guarantees, and only reason I personally would stay away from it is to save myself from unnecessary hurt.
Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
You people are soooooooooooooooooo old-fashioned.
Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
You people are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wannabe white.
Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
^ don't talk.
Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
do what do u think rite...u r urself best to decide for the circumstances u face
Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
I don't see anything wrong with talking to a prospective marriage partner, you can't just marry someone you haven't even spoken to or got to know. I don't believe in relatives doing all the matchmaking, that just doesnt cut anymore. You have to get to know the person yourself and see if you're compatible or not. Go out, talk, have a laugh and get to know each other, but no hanky panky.Dating? No, I thinks its too intimidating and fake. Going out in a formal way? Yes. No physical stuff for me, or perhaps at least until the engagement (the odd hug maybe).

mAd_ScIeNtIsT, Dating has nothing to do with wannabe white...its just a society thing rather than religious.

Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
Whats wrong with finding out who the person is after your married.
Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
And you are still living in some pind mentally, even after having lived in different continents of the world :o .
Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
Sigh.... this nonsense again.......
What people define as dating differs from person to person.... asking a generalized question like that leads to all kinds of opinions and views.... all valid.... and all different.
My definition of dating is getting to know a person one on one. It does NOT include physical intimacy, it does NOT include hugging or kissing or anything else involving two people physically touching. It DOES include actually talking about serious matters that two people who are interested in marriage discuss. Likes, dislikes, families, etc. It is seeing if your viewpoints on ALL the things that potentially matter to you match. It is NOT jumping from one bed to another. Marriage is far more than physical, it is a total sharing of everything, especially if you have children.
Dating is essential (in my eyes) to finding a person that does not make you wish for anything more than that person.
Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
I’m in full accord with your definition of dating. :k: 
Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
Hmmm… I call that being friends, rather than dating.
Re: Dating muslims? Good or Bad!!!
Mad_scientist - I agree and the best partners for a marriage can be found within our friends... Dating is just a word that is used to signal that you are exploring a possibility of something more than platonic friends for life. Nothing else. It is what people THINK should go on in a date that messes everyone up.
