Why can't people take a joke.
@Demosiac I can. mostly because I am not a¦ LGBT fag like half this site. PC fags.. good joke
Well he drinks, Not a virgin, so there's a high possibility that he's not much religious. Since im a muslim, im gonna say, it depends on the guy actually, not every muslim guy is the same. but i think you won't have any problems with him, regarding to Islam or any thing like that
Invite him to Christian faith politely, Refer to "Seeking Allah Finding Jesus". You are only saved by Christ (may be you might not practice but its truth). Friendships & going out with Muslim are fine. I have been in your shoes as well. What faith your next generation would have?
I have faced the same questions which you do. (If I get married to a Muslim woman). I'm an ex muslim.
Sometimes I think I might be able to change her towards Christianity. I am not sure, because some muslims can be westernized but strict towards faith in Allah and Muhammad. I would also like to hear your opinion.
I'm a Muslim ok , but I really can't tell you about him , it's like asking Americans about your American boyfriend just because he's American
No one can really help you , you should see for yourself if he's a good person or not his religion means nothing tbh
like some of the suggestions don't go and ask him questions about way into the future. Tell him about Christianity and see how he reacts. learn something about his religion. yes he would want you to wear relogious clothes infront of his parents but not everyday like some comments.
watch "the big sick"-Kumail is a Pakistani comic who meets an American graduate student named Emily at one of his stand-up shows. As their relationship blossoms, he soon becomes worried about what his traditional Muslim parents will think of her. When Emily suddenly comes down with an illness that leaves her in a coma, Kumail finds himself developing a bond with her deeply concerned mother and father.(real life story) It will explain to you some of the issues you might face.
it's not about Islam, remember muslims are an extremely diverse group of people. they might be black americans, they might be arab, they might be indonesians, they may be south Asian, or even perhaps Burmese (though not for long :'( )...
what's important is to know what kind of culture he comes from, and the relationship would be like in 5 years.
I had a friend who married a Muslim man. He convinced her to move to his home country. When she hated it there. He didn't care and started to treat her like shit. He divorced her and took the kids. She had to leave the country and has zero rights to see her kids.
So if you take your chances on this man, then make sure to never move to his country. You will have no rights.
Leave! Run! BREAK. UP! NO DON'T DO THIS TO YOURSELF! I'm a half jamaican-half Caucasian Catholic. And I've dated a few Muslim guys before, and trust me, the. Experience. Was. Bad. I can't handle them, my views are taken by granted, I'm given no right to go out alone or have an alone time. Just- nope. Don't. For your sake, don't.
Im half middle eastern half white, I prefer white guys bc the middle eastern muslim guys are usually, controlling, wanna move too fast (typical) which is never good in my opinion, extra sweet (just at first) and cheat... of course, it can never be 100% and you could be getting to know an amazing guy, but I am just telling you watch out because I speak about majority here.
honestly this is getting way too racist and I hate that shit. There is exceptions to everything and everyone. Just be open and honest about everything people dont have to lie just to keep others from getting hurt I am 100% positive he knows you don't know a lot about the culture so in which case simply just say this isn't meant to be offensive I'm sorry if it's phrased poorly if you think anything about what you are going to say could be considered upsetting or offensive. He obviously cares about you very much, guys seem to be sure of this feeling about love way before women are. It would make me sad being your ex considering things didn't play out the eay I wanted them to but they ended the way I knew they would before everything was all set up. Everyone deserves a chance and the fact that he's helped you out is a huge sign of endearment. I can tell already he is very much like me he just had the means to help and take care of you before the ex got his ducks in a row
I like him he seems like a good guy. All I'm saying is steer on the side of caution as you should with anyone you haven't known very long. Not to sound cocky but this is the best, honest and least opinion based answer you might get. So give the guy a chance he's going out on a limb helping you out but obviously you're very nervous about feelings being thrown around already so after work today sit down and come to some compromises. Men know women take much longer than men when figuring out whether they love someone or not. I on the other hand like your boyfriend knew the instant we laid eyes on you. You're a great girl and he seems like a great guy just come to some compromises that way you are both happy and no one is feeling pressured or uncomfortable. Straight forward and honest is the best way to approach a relationship. Lying to protect someone's feelings is ok if a tiny white lie like me telling you it's just a movie but was based on a true story so you could sleep at night
only use white lies if they can help, major lies could lead to distrust early in the relationship and causes guys to be very over protective very quickly and very defensive of their girl. So honest and truth straight through. You're THE most intelligent girl I've ever had the pleasure to know, you'll know how to word things, fuck you're hell of a writer so write it down first if need be. Good luck you two and I truly do wish you the best of luck and immeasurable amount of happiness =)
You are great judge of character little girl and if things turn out different than what either side wanted both of you just need to be honest and open with one another. It's all about communicating how both of you are feeling as clearly as possible. Taking things slow is always best for both parties, rushing could be bad for anyone. Sometimes it works out but most times in America it doesn't. You know a bad situation when you're in one so I don't think there's much to lose by taking it slow and hell if it even comes to marriage at some point which i pray and hope for you both that it does if that ends up being the thing you both want. I think what's most important is you gotta look out for yourself and he has to look out for himself and you, it's what the guys do. I think most men naturally are drawn to a dominant role in the relationship but some guys know better than the big decisions are usually made by the women or they aren't happy or you no longer have a girlfriend or get laid. lol
Your rights under Islam don't exist and you should also be aware that as a non Muslim you can be raped according to Islamic law. Your future kids will also likely be sold in a "marriage" to a much older man aka a paedophile.
Seriously how can you not know this?
That you're going to encounter a lot of jerks trying to push their simple minded perspectives onto you, many of which claim also to be religious. Know that their opinions are nothing more than their lack of humanity. I think caring looking past religion for love, is a great example of humanity at its best. Furthermore, id say just prepare yourself for a few disagreements regarding your different faiths. Communication is key. Best of luck.
The first thing about a men is having values and stand to them. a men that recognise himself as a Muslim and who doesn't follow what he stands for isn't someone worth any trust. he is a Muslim. then no sex before marriage and no drinking. if he is it doesn't take him from being Muslim so at leat he should feel some shame. if he doesn't stay away from him
He will have to drop his believe or drop you one of it. And that us because he was born in it (his family literally forced him to believe in what they were forced to believe). Facts have come up to prove that all they believe are bunch of lies and devilish believes based on the Quran or Hadith. So you better save yourself the trouble.
What you should know.
1. Mating with him will be the extinction of your genetic line.
2. He will require you to convert. If, later, you renounce Islam the penalty specified in the Quran is death. Sharia will require him and/or his male relatives to kill you.
3. The Quran states that you are only.25 of a person and instructs him how and when to beat you.
4. A decade from now you will consider your relationship with him to be the most catastrophic mistake of your life.
Down votes.
Fascinating.
Everything that I wrote was factually correct.
For Muslims and their libtard apologists truth is as sunlight is to a vampire, which is why instead of debating their critics they seek to silence them.
Wow dude

This would not be the right place for advice with that. People know nothing about Muslims and act like they know everything. The media also acts like they know everything and try to make them look bad. Just be carful what you'e believing. Just wanted to warn you🙂 And if you want to know anything about them the best place to get info would be from a Muslim themselves
Ehh i dont know about that. Its not like they make up fictional people who caused the murders
@yourmad101338 Yeah but there's no proof they were actually Muslim. Even if they are it doesn't make all Muslims like that
Mmmm..
Just watch this movie:

Hey it's the same thing as dating a Christian. The difference is he believes Jesus is the "mightiest messenger" not the son of God, but Christians are considered the older brother to Muslims.
Just don't eat pork, but if he's western cultured than you'll be fine... communication is key here... don't ask idiots they'll lie to look smart, ask him directly Coz you'll be dating him right?
Are you prepared to be bossed about and share him with other women. Plus having to give birth to his SON after a year of Marriege.
My friend had to give up her religion and dress how he wanted. Muslim mens have a saying. You beat a dog, a donkey and a woman. Say no more.
If he's drinking and has screwed other women outside of marriage, then you just have to hope he doesn't decide to PURGE HIS SINS one day by commiting a suicidal jihad.
That's apparently a thing among extremists. No joke.
If he's a moderate? Fine, but you never know. Taqqiyah is a thing where they lie to unbelievers, to pretend that they're moderate.
So are muslims more masculine? I don't get it. All these stories about girls wanting to date muslims...
It'd make sense, considering the religion rejects gays.
OP sounds pretty empathetic, so it won't be she who disrespects I don't think. If it comes down to it, it may be he. How can the OP tell if he has the same level of empathy as her? There's no way of knowing, except plunging head over heels into it.
Is it the risk that turns you on, OP? I really don't get it. Upload a video of you skydiving on youtube, if it suits you, but this feels like a trap. Knowing nothing else about the guy.
Not trying to white knight here, just saying what I'd do if I were you.
Don't get the wrong impression. There's plenty of good muslims out there - but a relationship is basically placing maximum trust. The bad muslims are the needles in the haystack, but there's a few more needles than in other groups (if you want to classify people into groups, which I guess I'm doing in this situation), in my opinion. So you are more likely to get pricked. Is it worth a risk?
I like my manager, who's a muslim, but I wouldn't date him if I were a woman, if that makes sense? Lol! Anyway.
I'm not worried about you getting killed for the sake of his honor, but there's other kinds of beliefs that he might conceal to you until the time arrives. He's just like any other guy, so he might lie about things he feels are awkward to bring up. Eg. He might not believe in condoms, or sex before marriage. And it may be even harder to break up with him than with other guys. It's also very hazy. Lot of chaotic unknowns.
As a Christian, you should be dating the someone the same faith as you. God says not to yolk with people who do not follow Him, you have two different views that will clash eventually. Then again he doesn't seem very serious about the his faith if he's not virgin, drinks, and just seems like an everyday western type of person.
