..oops my bad!
There is no such thing as love in Islam!? I believe it’s haram if you actually know the person on your own.. as opposed to being blindly married to the woman/man of your PARENT’S dreams!! lol
ok for all of those who’ve tried … and those who haven’t here’s what you have to look forward to..
here are some of my ‘experiences’ lol
- i see… nothing!?
..even when they are communicating with you via only e-mail or phone and living on the other side of the country and you have no idea what the girl even looks or sounds like .. you won’t believe how uptight parents are!?
man it’s ridiculous! I spoke to this one auntie a few times on the phone and I still had no proof her niece even existed after 4 calls!?
uh can I talk to her?
“anything you would like to know just ask me!”
- the biodata .. a sure fire way to romance
Then there’s the parents who request a biodata .. lol
they’ll be happy to send you one in return.. which is basically the resume of every male member of their family from the past 20 years..
if you’re really lucky they remember to tell you a little about the girl
she is pretty, fair, cooks, and still has all her teeth
- want to marry me.. RIGHT NOW!!??
the girl who wants to marry you after the first e-mail!?!
wow! ok that’s certainly flattering..!?
..until after a few weeks you realise all she talks about is when you are gonna marry her!?
ok but I hardly know you..!? let’s say we are married.. what are we gonna do all day? I come home from work and…
“I’ll do whatever you do!!! !”
ok um what do I do?
“Whatever you like!!! we will do it together!!!”
but you don’t even know what I like!?!
(cause you never want to talk about anything else..except..“when are you gonna marry me!!”)
How do you know you will like spending time with me?
“I like everything you like!”
which is?
“when are you gonna marry me!?”
- you are the last and only man left
small town USA only desi uncle at mosque is waaaay to happy to meet you!
( and if you see how I used to come to this mosque lol you know something’s up!?! )
looks so happy to see you you’d think he was gonna eat you for lunch!
next week .. ah meek looking girl and mom are checking you out big time from all the way on the other side of the mosque!?
ok this one was not really funny.. the dad was but i felt kinda sorry for the girl..
- you’re a cheater!?
ah she’s really open minded ..contacts you herself !? gives you her cell #, place of work before even getting to know you..
wants to meet up right away gives a time & place and the day before she cancels says family business came up!?
ok no problem
wait a few days and ask if she still wants to meet up?
" I met someone else you are also talking to..I only want to talk to one person at a time"
ok a reasonable request.. only problem you don’t know another desi muslim girl even with 1000 miles of here.. so she didn’t meet anybody!?
cause there is no ‘somebody else’ ?!
- wrong number!
girl with horribly annoying nasal voice ..strong new york/chicago cross dresser accent… calls you long distance and can’t get over the fact you’re not a typical desi mama’s boy!?
"O muy gawd!? u gotta bee keeden? fa reel? "
- the control freak
the girl who got her own questionairre a la Cosmo or any other bitchy woman’s magazine of your choice…
be sure to have had enough sleep the night before ..so you can be alert and attentive as she interrogates you about her ‘own’ ideas of love and marriage ?
there are no lifelines and no phoning a friend .. one chance is all you get.. lol
lemme give you a clue the correct and only answer to all of the questions is
Yes, master! whatever you say master!
From what I’ve seen the search for love involves anything but..! it’s basically a cold hearted business arrangement .. fill out an application and keep on looking.. lol
the rest of my experiences are pretty much different variations of the above ..
though every now and then you get lucky and manage to at least make a new friend..
