I've got a friend of mines that recently started seeing a girl who's Muslim. Not sure how they met, but he asked me for advice, since he thinks I'm the go to guy for relationship stuff when in reality I just expound upon a lot of stuff I've learned from NT. :lol:

So have any of you guys tried crossing line of religion when it comes to dating? He himself has admitted that he isn't religious at all, but he did say he wouldn't convert. What can homie expect from meeting the family or starting a life with her should they ever get to that point? Will there be an inevtiable demise since he's not a believer of her faith?
 
Every dude I've known that got really serious wit a Muslims chick, ended up converting to marry her :lol:

Even the ones that swore up and down they would never. They range from Christian, Jewish, to atheist.

Once your homeboy starts getting serious wit ole girl, I would wager that he will start sounding different.

I dunno what it is about Muslims yambs, it be hooking dudes.

My brother-in-law went from hardcore Christian to hardcore Muslim. Even the wife's dad had to tell ole boy he doing to much.

As a Muslim man myself, I'd say don't do it. They will expect things from you that you may not be comfortable with, commitments and other things.

My brother converted for this reason. :lol:

Then he got caught up cheating on her. :smh:

Needless to say, the marriage didn't happen.

I'm not signing up for a religion for some P. It's hard enough to make me compromise on **** like what we're watching on TV. Good luck to your homie though OP
 
In my limited hurdle isn't the religion but directly the family when if comes to committed Muslims who moved to the U.S. young or born here to first generation parents.

An anecdote but a friend of mine is Muslim. We were in the same study abroad program together. Cute girl, smart and on her way to degree from MIT. Parents are doctors but originally from Pakistan.

I asker her once about relationships and she said anybody who's not Muslim and specifically Sunni/Shiite (forget which one she was) is 1000% a no go when it comes to marriage. Like not a chance. Thus waste of time if as a man you're looking to invest in a relationship.

Funny story but one time she was wasted and sucked a European dude in the bathroom. Pretty certain at the time she was a virgin. Said no exaggeration her parents would stone her to death if they found out. Literally.

Catholic co worker converted to be a muslim because his wife is muslim.

My co worker's family pretty much ignored him afterward. Saying how its a downgrade of religion. Prejudice minds I tell ya.

He's happy though.... wife treats him superb. Kids are good kids.

If you're cool with it can you talk a little about the family dynamics?

Forgot the add that girl I mentioned said specifically if the guy converts it's all good.

No prob...

Mom is from Morocco and dad is from Algeria. Both are DEVOUT Muslims. Praying 5 times a day, observing Muslim holidays, strict discipline during Ramadan, etc.

There are three girls in their family, and they don't practice Islam to the extent of their parents. It was a different story when they were growing up, but things changed as they grew older.

Now, as far as where I fit in the equation, we met back in the day, hit it off and have been inseparable since. It was funny...when we were dating, I was always around her parents house. Cookouts, birthday parties, beach trips, helping shovel snow, etc. Pretty much doing what's expected if you're dating someone. That being said, whenever I was brought up (when not being there), there was always a question of "who is this boy?" As if they didn't know who I was :lol: EVERY. DAMN. TIME. :lol: It's funny now looking back, but man...we had some serious ups and downs. It all came down to religion.

They asked me to convert, but respectfully, I told them no. I wasn't willing to compromise my beliefs to appease someone else, especially if I wasn't 100% invested in their religion. It's no disrespect, but they needed to understand where I was coming from. After that conversation, I think for all parties, it seemed like the monkey was off everyone's back. Religion shouldn't be the end-all/be-all when in a relationship. It's important, but it also shouldn't divide. Showing respect, honesty, and a caring nature goes a long way. If you truly care for someone, just tough it out. There are going to be ups and downs, but you have to stay strong and be true to what YOU believe.

Anyways, over time, they saw how much I cared for their daughter, respected the family as a whole, and thus...they grew to accept me and my difference of religion. Honestly, I think they were more worried about chatter behind their backs from friends and family. It's a cultural thing, but image means a lot to them.

My girl and I now have a daughter of our own, but we're not forcing any religion on her. She's observed Islamic prayer with her grandparents and also attended church services with my folks. We want her to understand both sides of the family and if there is ever a day when she says she'd like to make a decision regarding a specific religion, we have her back 100%.
 
I probably would if I fall in love with her. But I'd have to be really in love. The yambs must be given before tho.
 
Technically a lot of people are muslim by name not by practice.

If she adheres to the practices/ teaching of islam she wouldn't be dating anyone. Not throwing shade on anyone but it's very clear what is deemed right and wrong according it islam.
I'm sure it could work out fine of both people were willing to put the time and effort into it.
 
I've had a couple Muslim girls tell me that they liked me but would get into serious trouble if they were even dating me. Like Ice City mentioned, it's not the religion itself, but the strict @!@ parents that are not open to any other way of life.

I don't want anything to do with that nonsense; there are lots of non Muslim Middle Eastern/South Asian/African women out there without excessively religious families like that.

And no, my mentality isn't reserved towards just Muslim women. My ex girlfriend became one of those born again Christians with her mom, and suddenly I was basically the devil in her and her parents' eyes just because I have tattoos and am an atheist :lol: i started getting constant lectures about how I needed to be saved. had to cut her off cause I HATE close minded religious people like that

Exactly... All religion does is impede on the happiness of yourself and the people around you for frivolous and nonsensical reasons... No one ever criticizes religion for being racist and prejudicial :smh:...
 
I've been in Qatar for the past five months. In my time here I've seen some of the most beautiful women. All were Muslim, originating from different countries. Went out with a few, just casual conversation with others. Would I convert? Highly unlikely. I don't really follow any particular religion in general so I wouldn't pretend just to get with a fine woman.

Man... My girl is super Christian... And it's not a problem..

I just hate two things about it.

1. She NEVER wants to talk about it. Like, if religion comes up, she runs away from it. In like "we're adults and cab have a decent conversation"

I guess she thinks I'm going to say something that makes her question her beliefs and don't even want to start down that path

2. She, like my momb, keep saying I'm going to "come around"....

Come around?

In a past life I off and on dated a super-catholic Puerto Rican girl (who was also a virgin because sex before marriage was a "sin", hence why we were off and on, lol). Never did anything besides kiss prior to meeting me, ended up teaching her how to give/receive head. Would get her straight up naked at times then she would pull out the religious kok-blocker to kill my buzz.

Eventually after about 10 months I broke her down next thing she wanted to do it every day of the week, including lunch time quickies. At this point we were seriously dating and even discussing marriage till she started trying to convert me, I wasn't having any of that crap (I'm athiest). Not raising my kids with that silliness or converting to it either. Needless to say she is not my current wife (who is athiest).

Its all fun and games when you are trying to concur the religious P but in the long run its not even worth it with a super-religious chick (if you aren't yourself) because it will get thrown in your face from her and her family until you convert or bounce.
 
I'm Muslim

What keeps a lot of Muslim women from getting serious with non-Muslim men is both the potential disowning or disapproval they might get from their entire family, and also culturally things are more difficult to make work out if the dude doesn't convert.
 
I'm not slinging bean pies for *****. Pass.

Make sure your boy isn't tryna screw around. Pun intended.

Accepting the differences in culture.

Understanding that it's gonna take awhile for her family to fully accept you if you don't share the Muslim faith. ("Show and Prove" you care and respect my daughter and then we'll see type of thing)

Make sure you are fully aware of where you are in your personal faith. Understanding that making a religious choice by force, just to be with someone isn't the only way to win the girl is a crucial concept to comprehend. That'll be a difficult pill to swallow when the time comes.

Make sure you re-iterate to your boy that he shouldn't go for her if he's not in it for the long haul. There will be a lot of hurdles to overcome and it's only worth it as long as he wants to be with her for a long term.

You hit the nail on the head. There is A LOT of chatter behind backs etc. if things don't look right image-wise.
