So he’s coming to my city and would be expecting me to figure out some activities because it’s my city which honestly I can’t being Ramdan. Like we can’t go to the movies, eat some where, drink coffee, bowling, do any of the other city kind of activities etc. because we both would be fasting.
We would be spending around 7-8 hrs with each other before the actual iftaar and after that he has to leave back for his city soon. Next month he has to go the west coast for some official work for a month or two so that’s why we only have this ramdan to meet.
See now this where people say I am ******* but hey I was provoked. Chipotle you do realize it is Ramzan and you think going on a date with a na-mehram man is all kosher? Solid definition of what is and is not acceptable during the holy month there.
There is no such thing as a Halal date. In islam there is segregation. You either date or you don't. There is no Halal way to kill a pig if you get my drift.
Umm… do some sightseeing if you have the energy and if its not too hot.
You can definitely watch a movie, why have you ruled that out? Go watch “Despicable me”… its awesome .
Pre Iftar Ramadan dates are a pain since you cant really do much, and cant sit down and eat either the bulk of the activity revolves around talking. Talking continuously for 7-8 hours when you're starving will give you both serious headaches.

My bad, at that time I was under the assumption that people who have replied in my other thread might have actual read it. I called this meeting a date because every one referred to it that way in the other thread. Do you have any other proper halal term for meeting a potential rishta in broad day light with hundreds of people around you only for the reason to get an idea about his presonality or thinking so that you can take a better decision about your marriage. If you do Please enlighten me.
I just don't get it why do you post smart ass comments in every thread, do you have some self esteem issues that you need to proof that on an onlinfe forum? or are you jealous that some people are actually moving on with their lives?

I know but their is no other option logistically. We live in two different states, he and his family has to see another girl after Ramdan and then he'll be off to the west coast for 4-6 weeks. And he and his family wants to decide something after they see the other girl.
If it would have been easier I did not needed to come and ask this silly question online
To be honest I rarely read half the threads here and the ones I do read I get bored with. To answer your question. You don't give it a label. Why do you need to call it a date? Just say you are meeting a guy to get to know him. Simple. The concept of providing labels to everything in a modern concept is extremely irritating. Why try to make something Halal which is in fact not.
You are gonna meet a guy. Great. You are gonna talk to him. Great. What part of is that a date really?
As for why I post. I have been told rather affectionately I am a tool. Lets stick with that for my official reason :D
I'm going to have to agree with CM's second post on this one.
BUT
since this is your only time to get to know each other, why not go to a museum ( art, history, science) or ZOO ( I LOVE animals so the first place I took him was there :D). This will give you guys a lot of time to talk.
