Western concept of dating basically boils down to “try it before you buy it” in every way imaginable.

From reading the forum, one gets the sense that dating is becoming a normal part of finding your spouse among desi Muslims as well. **What does desi dating entail? Do people just hang out, watch a movie and have dinner together? Or are things like holding hands, hugging, kissing and so on also par for the course? **

Question is for all desi Muslims who have or might go through this. However, it’s especially relavent to those who have married non-Muslims since for them co-habitation is a normal part of finding a life partner.

uhhhh who cares? Why do you need to know what other people are doing on their dates (especially the physical aspect of it all)?

Dating among Muslims is extremely common now. Almost every Muslim I know has dated someone at some point before marriage. What do they do on their dates? I never ask because I honestly don’t care. That is between them and Allah because that is who they will answer to.

I can tell you one thing. Muslims UNLIKE White people don’t date “just for fun.” They only date someone they can actually see themselves marrying one day. That is the whole point of it all - dating for the sake of marriage.
