I’m not a man but I do have experience. My mother once dated a Muslim boy, and they were very very Inlove but they always had to sneak around because his parents would never accept her as a none Muslim.
Despite them being the perfect couple compatible and mature.
He had been set to marry a girl in an arranged marriage since the age of 5, so he took her out on a dinner date and broke the news to my mum and well, they never saw eachother again it was very heartbreaking for the both of them.
He didn’t want it and neither did she.
So to answer your question, it depends how religious. If the parents are very strict and we are talking arranged marriages no.
The guys I know would give it a try if the muslim girl was that pretty. And I saw it happen lots of times. The town I went to college had about 10,000 Bosnian refugees (muslims). Most of the young women were pretty, and local guys (regardless of race) were wanting to date them, and did. FYI, muslim girls/women are little different from their Christian counterparts -- despite their conservative exterior, by the time they reach their 19th birthday, 90% have had a penis inside their vagina.

Bosnian Muslims are more liberal compared to Pakistani or afghani Muslims
Yes, they are. They wear "normal" western attire, for example. But let's just say that even muslim college girls/women from the Middle East "did as the Romans did" while here for school. I knocked on one of their apartment doors one evening around 9:00 (she knew I would be coming by), and she's wearing shorts and a t-shirt and obviously no bra, and I could see there was an American guy (white) sitting on the couch. I have no proof that they had sex, but I am pretty sure they weren't studying for an English test.
as a King James Bible believing Christian, this is how i would see it. if she were open to what the truth was and would be willing to tolerate and listen to the truth as i presented it, i would date an a woman who was islamic. but as for a muslim woman, muslim women can be Christian. why? because i heard that muslim are the people (like arabs), islam is the religion/ideology. would listen to what she would have to say if she were lost but in the King James Bible it says constantly to be stedfast, be unmovable, and keep the truth as i was given. and if things didn't work out in the end after all of this, i would see it as a successful witnessing opportunity
Yeah I've dated them. Although the culture more than the religion was apparent to me. Although its been the same with jewish or Christian girls I've dated. Unfortunately I've found middle eastern women (before the PC police jump me, i realize muslims can be different races) can be high maintenance. Especially arab. Desi for some reason not as much. If we are making generalizations here.
Here at my college we have some muslim women. I know they are muslim because they dress in traditional muslim clothes and head coverings. They are hard to figure out how to approach. I would have to do the approaching since they mainly keep to themselves
I would date a girl who is partially or fully Middle Eastern, but was born in the U. S., and is not a currently practicing Muslim. I would be iffy about dating a 1st generation immigrant, even if she wasn't a currently practicing Muslim. Either way, I definitely wouldn't date a currently practicing Muslim.
I would, absolutely! 😍 Where I come from, the Islam community is the last trace of civilized morality we have in our country (they don’t drink, they don’t fornicate, they’re more faithful, they’re less likely to be feminist, etc)... and I think the hijab is cute on many pretty Muslim girls too 🧕🏻🤲🏻☪️💘
If he is a xenophobe (like most white people actually they just don't admit it) or a practicing christian/jew/buddhist... etc, he wouldn't. Even if you do find someone willing to and you end up marrying it wouldn't work (my aunt married a christian guy had kids but when she realized her marriage was void in the eyes of god she asked for a divorce although she loved my uncle he did too, and they pretty much still love each other

Was she Muslim? Then why did she marry him in the first place?
To clarify things my home country was a french colony so most kabyle people that lived back then were illiterate and didn't know how to speak or read Arabic (like my grand parent) and ignorant about the religion, so they weren't all that religious and didn't think it was that big of a deal when she married him
If I liked her, sure. The ownly challenges would probably be her religion and parents. Depending on how religious she is, she can't touch men and can't go on dates alone. And like other religious families her parents may not like her dating outside her religion.
As a white Muslim male, I would, for me marrying a Muslim girl means sharing the same family values and having someone that understands her role and responsibility in a family, of course, this also means that I will take care of her very well because I have a responsibility towards her. Regarding dating, I am not much for "Western" dating at all, I would prefer a more "soft" version to know each other better. I don't care if she is Saudi, Emirati, Qatari, Syrian, Jordanian, Egyptian, Tunisian, Moroccan, Algerian or from any other side of the world. What matters is her character and moral values.
I have, and when it comes to ethnicity, religion and culture etc. I don't care. What matters to me is the energy flowing in the other person and how I feel around it. I don't know why we would have to create boundaries for ourselves and for how we enjoy life.
No... I have enough options in matter of potential partners without the necessity to convert to Islam. The other possibility is that the girl has to give up her faith and very likely connection to her family just because of me. I wouldn't want something like that. **According to Islam is relationship/marriage to a non-Muslims forbidden for Islamic women.
I know Muslims, there is no such rule. There are just rumours and blind faith in those points. So if the girl is a real Muslim, she won't care about those rules and be happy to date a guy of any religion if she likes. Accordinging to Islam, they willingly submit themselves to Allah and not to those blind faiths.😁
I would but only if I am not expected to convert to her religion or take on any religious practice, I am supportive where any partner's beliefs are concerned but I do not do religion myself... i would be a hypocrite if i chose to as i do not believe in it myself so that would be my only major issue
I'm MUCH older and not white... I'm just answering to round out your data sample...
Date? Probably. I've met a number of gorgeous women from all over the world. But if I'm being honest, a religious partner would never work out with me. I consider religion to be a mental disorder.
Well let's get something straight here, if you're Muslim, you shouldn't even be dating.
I see a lot of replies that say "no alcohol or sex." Um... Lady... Then you shouldn't be dating. The only white man who would compatible to that would be a strict Catholic who still wouldn't date you because your religions would clash.
You can date. Because the Quran says nothing about not dating anyone the word dating didn’t even exist back then. As for other things like sex it says no sex before marriage but in 2k19 us kids have learned that if you weren’t meant to have sex before marriage then why would god give us sexual urges for it? And hence i’ve had sex multiple times because im not looking for marriage just what’s in between.
@Daniel3035 Dude, I asked for you or her to show me in the quote in the Quran that proves your point. Not what you personally think and feel. Do what you want to do. You have free choice after all, but it's not what Islam believes. That's a fact. Don't bring "2019" into it either and use it to excuse your actions.
And I told you that no quote states it nor states against it. It's not what I personally think or feel most muslims don't know if lard is halal or haram but most agree is it's fine to eat same applies here. Islam and do what you want go together well when there's nothing that fits the criteria for that situation. What excuse my actions lmao? I stated 2019 because the quran was designed to fit a time that wasn't like 2019 not excuse my actions which really don't need to be excused at all.
@UI_Vegeta01 Ummm I am muslim thank you very much maybe you should take your own advice and not tell people to not talk about a religion they were born into?
@Commander_Red, Dating doesn't equal Sex and not everyone drinks Alcohol. Also, Alcoholics Anonymous is in Muslim Countries for a Reason... The Quran Never Mentions Dation or Courting Pro or Con...
@Daniel3035 If you are a Muslim then I suggest you convert to some other religion because you obviously don't know what you are talking about. Any Muslim man who says that a Muslim woman can date before marriage doesn't know anything about Islam and should just be ignored.
@UI_Vegeta01 Wow how noble of you telling me to change my religion? How about suck a penis and mind your own business and don't ever tell me what to do? You committed sin right there telling another brother to change religion because I do not follow your views? Wow that kinda reminds me of ISIS. Really I do not know what i'm talking about please do tell me where it forbids dating genius. Oh and because you say that it is true you think everyone will listen to you now? What are you Islam did you create it? One of the stupidest statements i've seen a scholar who studies Islam for years but says it's ok for a muslim women to date not before marriage you dont date after marriage that's cheating genius but according to you the scholar doesn't know islam and should be ignored? Your very smart.
@Daniel3035 I didn't read all that bullshit. You don't know what you are talking about. Get educated. Not replying to your nonsense anymore. You are probably not a Muslim, a pretender trying to change Islamic beliefs. Your name suggests you are a non Muslim anyway. Keep dating and I will be the one laughing when you burn in hell.
Commander_Red, my point is valid Dating isn't Sex!!! Sure some people have sex while dating as well as some people wait till they are married to have sex. But just because two people are dating doesn't mean they are engaging in Sex. Can you prove otherwise? If so, tell all the Virgins out there they are Lying!!!
No because their parents would object to a Christian man being with her. Or a non-muslim Also Islam forbids muslim women from being with kufr and Muslim girls know this and string us along anyways. Muslim girls make excellent friends though! I have many. But I know not to fall for them.

They string you along? What do you mean - do they flirt with you?
Many Muslim girls would love to date a white westernised guy but can’t because of backlash from community and family,
Yeah they flirt with me, one even told me she liked me and we went on a few dates. Many assume i am muslim because I work at a halal restaurant. I am Italian-American.
Some do, some dont. I have only talked with 3 muslim girls romantically. 2 in person 1 I met online The 2 girls I took on dates, one rejected me when she found out i wasn't muslim. And aplogized, we only did one date. The other said it wasn't a problem we went on 4 dates. She was really cute! but yeah she ended up not liking me haha. The 3rd online one was super cute, special, and intelligent. We talked for about 2 years. But her family would have rejected me 100% They were wealthy and muslim. I am lower-middle class and christian. She said she didn't care, but I knew it wasn't going anywhere so i stopped.
Yes they really like me. Despite being christian, I actually have lived with muslims throughout college. So always interacted with muslim people (I am very fond of muslims) I also helped MSA a few times (Muslim student association)
I'm a proud Christian, our faiths would present an issue.
Secondly, I can't say I agree with how women are treated in their culture/religion. (The whole- submissive to males, needs to be covered, essentially treated like property.) I wouldn't trust myself not to say something.
As someone who was involved with one for years.. No. They expect you to convert for them mostly to please their family as its expected. Heaven help you if you suggest the other way around. I never did because we're supposed to be equal and she knew who I was when she got involved with me. When I didn't we were told we are going to hell...
There is no future in a relationship between a Muslim woman and a non-Muslim man. I have seen Muslim girls date non-Muslim men claiming they can make it work but ultimately it never does and they always break up.
I've been to three weddings. One 15 years ago. American Navy Seal Irish Catholic married an Iraqi Islamic girl. Familes were very happy for both of them. They have five kids now, I'm Godmother to two of them.
@Moonchild714 Such a marriage would be considered void in Islam. In Islam, two people are not considered married until they have had a nikah ceremony which can only be performed by a imam. Most imams will refuse to perform a nikah between a Muslim girl and a non-Muslim man even if the families agree to it.
In the example you have given it seems that family were not very orthodox Muslims which is not the norm amongst Arab families.
However, in the majority of cases most Muslim families follow the religion closely and would not permit their daughter to marry a non-Muslim man.
I would, but I have found that they their religion is racist and only accept Muslim men around them.
So if you convert you don't have faith enough, if you don't, you don't have the right honestly, I don't understand why there isn't anybody talking against that tradition.
Yeah I would give it a shot, depends on how big there are into there religion, since am an atheist it might cause issues but it would really depend on the girl
I think it has less to do with race and more to do with religion. Islam is not exactly compatible with western culture so I don’t see too many white men out there looking for Muslim women. Chechen or Bosnian whites who are Muslim would be your best option.
No. I can be friends with Muslims, but our faiths would clash if we were to marry. I respect their right to believe what they want, but I want my children to be raised as true Christ followers.
