Going to Muslim "SINGLE" event...

Re: Going to Muslim "SINGLE" event...

That's called a Rishta Maasi. The world all over, where Pakistani and desi families are concerned has plenty of them, of all ages.

Re: Going to Muslim “SINGLE” event…

No. There ARE ladies from Pakistan association here in Dubai doing such services. Trust me, Main such keh rahi hon :teary1:

Re: Going to Muslim "SINGLE" event...

Yeah ok call them rishta maasi. But these ladies are wives of officers of consulates and embassy here and are affiliated with Pakistan association. And they do not charge anything for their services.

I mean to say people here manage without such events although they might want to try organising such events for a change ;)

Re: Going to Muslim "SINGLE" event...

These events, for simplicity's sake let's call them speed dating, happen all over, US and Canada where kids want to make their own decisions concerning their marriages. As for rishta maasi just because they're the wives of whoever doesn't make the work they do any specialerer. They are doing what has been done throughout history. I'm not knocking them off, but I am saying that stop talking about them like they're something completely unique that you've only come across.

Re: Going to Muslim "SINGLE" event...

I know they are not unique. And I know there are many many rishta maasis working in USA also. Its just my opinion that some girls might not like the idea of such events. Anyways, its personal choice if a girl/ guy is ok with these events.

Re: Going to Muslim "SINGLE" event...

In that case find a girl on here on GS.

There are many ladies who need to get hitched.

Re: Going to Muslim “SINGLE” event…

You know that the guy posted in Life1…and you think he would go for one of these?? :eek:

Re: Going to Muslim "SINGLE" event...

There are plenty of eligible girls on Gupshup, just post your bio.

Re: Going to Muslim "SINGLE" event...

At least someone agrees with moi.

Re: Going to Muslim “SINGLE” event…

We single girls on GS are sooo open and liberal in expressing our ideas here (since we post anonymously) that I wonder any sane person would like to propose to any of the girls here :smiley: We come here to vent out and vomit all of our bharaas of our daily lives (which mostly consist of the desi marriage process and practices)… I wonder if our prospective husands and in-laws read our posts here on GS, they will break off the rishtas :sid:

Re: Going to Muslim "SINGLE" event...

Lol, this reminds me..my dad asked me today "do you have a biodata"? He was referring to my CV, he can be so old fashioned at times.

PS I don't think anyone would actively try to seek a wife here on GS. It's an anonymous forum, you don't even know what the other person looks like. In that case it would be stupid to initiate contact with someone without knowing something about them first, or at least what they looked like.

Re: Going to Muslim "SINGLE" event...

And kids are mean all the time :p

Re: Going to Muslim "SINGLE" event...

rizla, did you get my PM? says sharma sharma kay

Re: Going to Muslim “SINGLE” event…

LOL. True. HotTea don’t go for girls on here, they’re off their heads. :slight_smile:
I know I would.

Jokes. Would be funny that you marry a guy also on here but you two don’t know it.

Re: Going to Muslim “SINGLE” event…

:help:

Re: Going to Muslim “SINGLE” event…

:hehe:

Actually, they do collect information on the candidates. There is a biodata of everyone available along with contact info in case anyone wants to get in touch later on.

It doesnt work that way. Each table has a group of girls. All the guys are divided into groups as well. The girls stay where they are and the men keep rotating from table to table. When they get to a certain table, they take turns talking about themselves and then give the ladies a chance to do the same. This keeps happening until each group of men has visited all the tables. Once this is over, the men have the option of going to a specific girl that might have caught their attention and requesting to chat with her separately. She can say yes or no.

These things actually do work.

Re: Going to Muslim "SINGLE" event...

^I'd rather remain single all my life than go through that.

Re: Going to Muslim "SINGLE" event...

Yeah me tooo. It would be just so uncomfortable for everyone, besides there is no confidentiality. Using rishta maasis is a confidential way as one family visits at a time.

But still, its a personal choice. If the success rates of such events is high, its good to have them. But I wonder if they have any way to monitor the success rates.

Re: Going to Muslim “SINGLE” event…

jo garajty hain woh barsty nahin, so i think sensible man can marry you girl as he would think that these girls are so innocent, they can’t express their feeling even in front of their moms they would be a ideal BAHU for my mother …:lajawab::dishes:

Re: Going to Muslim "SINGLE" event...

It is uncomfortable when you're first thrown in the mix but you're fine after a bit of it.
