I'm just a typical guy like other typical guys around the world.
Would you date me by knowing that I'm a Muslim? Would you stay or leave after find that I'm a Muslim?

I am going to put my opinion because you put yourself out there. I am a middle eastern Christian lady (Assyrian). I will not EVER date a Muslim guy. For the following reason
1) You are all crazy- even if you claim you are not (my opinion, sorry). I don't know when you will snap.
2) You are controlling
3) Your views are wrong
4) It is taboo of my religion to date your religion, even if you convert to Christianity. My family will disown me and all my relatives will talk about me. My reputation is way too important than some guy. Even if I am desperate.
5) Your religion has killed my people for so long and this makes me angry. I know this is not your doing, but my people will chastise me heavily for this.
6) In your eyes, I will always be seen as a whore.
So no, I will not even be close friends with a Muslim man. This is my opinion, I am not here to fight. Take it or leave it.
Thank you for being honest. I'm an Iraqi Kurd so can say that I Assyrian roots too. We people of middle east have great history Assyria and Babylon the were two first civilizations on earth. I see Islam as part of our culture like Christianity and Zoroastrianism before Islam. We are same people not my people and your people we should be able to live peacefully because we are great people and made history together.
Oh you are kurd? My apologies. I like them. My family get along with them. Forgive me. I thought you were like Arab Muslim. You understand my plight because you experienced the same too
Im a non practition muslim too, well mostly, and i get what you mean. My problem too, i date and don't wear hijab, but i believe in the basics and that mostly confuses other people
i would date a muslim guy , ISIS and whatever are obviously not true muslims they do not represent islam at all and we do have terrorists of all races and religions so being a muslim or a christian or a jew or an atheist... etc have nothing to do with being a terrorist
Thank you so much such a wise answer.
To be honest, I don't really understand what it means to be a "non-practicing" Muslim. It doesn't make sense to me to believe in Islam, but not follow it, nor does it make sense to not believe in Islam, but to still call yourself a Muslim (unless you just call yourself that because you're afraid of the backlash you might receive from your family, friends, community, etc.).
I'm an atheist and I prefer to date other non-believers. I likely wouldn't date a Muslim, but I'd be fine dating an ex-Muslim.
I don't believe in supernaturals and so existing of God (s) , am I an atheist too?
Yeah, an atheist is someone who lacks a belief in god.
If you dont belive in god then yoir not a muslim
@Booceyboo - He said he doesn't believe in god.
I'm not really sure what you're on about.
@Booceyboo
"however I still think he can classify himself as partaking in Muslim culture to an extent."
Sure, that's fine. When I was explaining that I didn't know what it meant to be a "non-practicing" Muslim, I was trying to prompt him to explain specifically what he meant, since it would affect my answer to his question.
Okay... I find your description of your kind of muslim sounds similar to this: I am black but not too black, the lighter skinned black. Oh and I have a fine nose, wavy hair and other less African features. Would you date me? I AM BLACK PERIOD!
No offence but get a grip of your religious identity, either you are Muslim or not. Yes there are muslims with politically/ ethnically/ religiously violent agendas but be straight forward and stop sugar coating things. Your questions should sound more like this: I am a muslim guy, would you date me? And for the record, I would date you because I am not an Islamophobe / bigot. Have a little faith in yourself chap!
It would depend on the guy and how far he goes with it. I have some family that are Muslim and they're some of the nicest people. I'm not sure you're considered Muslim though... I'm a bit confused. Because you said you don't believe in any god (s) and you don't follow the practices, so... because your family is Muslim, you say you're Muslim, but you don't actually believe the stuff?
Its true I don't believe in any supernaturals like God (s) and angels etc. As you said because my family are Muslims I'm a Muslim.
Also Islam plays huge role in culture of my society so I can't be non Muslim its always part of me.
Well most people would consider you an Atheist in that case. :p So I don't think people would have a problem with your family being Muslim, they probably care more about your beliefs. So for me, it would depend on the guy. I'd be willing to date a guy I like regardless of religion as long as he respects my beliefs and doesn't look down on me for them. ^^
No. But not because you're muslim. Because I'm catholic and I want to raise my children catholic as well. In Holland we had a saying that goes:"The devil sleeps between two faiths on the same pillow". My catholic faith is important to me and someone who would ask me to abandon my faith and/or raise my children in his own faith or phylosophy (not mine) would not be a good match for me. I married a man who is catholic like myself, so any problems on faith and religion are not an issue between us as we believe the same thing. Atheists go best with other atheists, catholics go best with other catholics and muslims go best with other muslims. That's what I believe, people may disagree and that's fine, but I say two people of a different faith will not work.
As long as he's not religious (doesn't practice his religion at all, even doesn't mind eating pork and other "haram" stuff), I will date him.
What I DO NOT want is to be forced to live my life a certain way or change according to HIS religion and morals. And I won't raise my kids as muslim.
As long as a guy doesn't do those, I'm fine.
In short: as long as a muslim guy doesn't give a single fuck about his religion, I'm fine with dating him.
Now my parents... that would be a totally different story. lol
Its funny I had a girlfriend she converted from Islam to Christianity and all the time she was trying to sell her religion to me, don't know about other Christian girls but she was like that.
And can't say about other Muslim guys but I'm not this type.
If that muslim guy would look like this of course :D
images5.fanpop.com/.../...tug-24613659-454-681.jpg
The guy in the picture is muslim by the way. And there are many white muslims as well, you ignorants.
I know him but forgot his name he is a Turkish model and actor. My skin tone is same like his but with grey hair.
His name is Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ. And thats what Im saying. They think muslims are dark skinned or unatractive and so on. There are many handsome guys as well.
I'm Australian and I don't have a religion. I am in a long term relationship with a practicing Muslim, though he isn't a great Muslim lol he does try to follow it properly and I try to help him with little things like calling him in the morning to wake him up for morning prayer.
We are very happy and very much in love.
If I should be honest, not really. Regardless of whether you are ''non-practicing'' or not, it still means that in a way you are Muslim. However, don't get me wrong, I'm not discriminating. All I'm trying to say is that Islam is a religion that I don't quite like (more specificly your views towards women) and that is a reason for me not to want to date a Muslim. But, nevertheless, that doesn't mean that I'm telling people what to believe in or what path to follow, I don't have the right to do that. Everyone is free to believe in whatever he desires, as long as he doesn't try to impose his views upon others.
i'm not really into religious people.
i wouldn't care if you're a christian, a muslim or whatever. i think these people are not open-minded and i don't like that.
i'm an atheist and i always go for people whose beliefs are similar to mine.
so, to be honest, i wouldn't date a muslim.
Thanks for your honest opinion I don't believe in god (s) myself and want to marry a girl with the same idea but for dating its not important to me.
Depends - is your family religious? Would they have an issue with the relationship?
Personally, being welcomed by eachothers' families is very important to me. I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with someone who my family did not accept, nor whose family does not accept me.
They are not religious a lot they are more secular than Islamist. And they don't have any issue with dating and relationship.
Yes, and I have dated men of different religious backgrounds with the understanding that their religion is not going to dictate how our relationship will be. I'm an atheist, and don't care what my partner's religion is if he has one, but only expect that what he practices will not be forced on me or used against me, just as my atheism would not be used to criticize what he believes. If there is attraction and mutual respect, religion really shouldn't matter.
Sure no one should try to sell his/her religion to her partner, by the way I don't believe in God (s) as other supernaturals so I could be an atheist too.
Oh you are? I thought after reading your topic that when you said you are a Muslim that it goes part and parcel that you believe in Allah. I would understand if you had said you come from a Muslim family but you yourself are not religious. Not that it really matters, because what you choose to believe or not believe is personal and the right girl who is attracted to you and wants a relationship should respect that about you.
Don't know what a non-practicing Muslim is, you either believe or you don't. Either way my religion is important to me and there would be such friction between Christian and Muslim beliefs that I don't think it would work out. Best to move on and let each other find someone better suited to them.
If i like him then yeah, As long as he can accept that im not Muslim and im not planning to become Muslim anytime soon then why not?
Sure because there is no force to accept Islam.
I would date a guy of any religion or race or ethnicity. It's about te personality *rolls eyes at typical statement* not their beliefs
Cool, me too. To me the girl herself is important.
If I love the person I wouldn't mind what race, culture or religion he is as long as I have my personal freedom and we agree on the big things, but respect each other's opinions even though they might not always be the same. It could be applied to any religion, not only Islam:if he loves me, treats me well, respects me and my beliefs, doesn't try to change who I am religion really shouldn't matter.
As long as we could work out a good balance where neither of us pressured the other with our religions, I think it could be super cool. It would be an awesome learning experience and we'd both get to try new things!
Love is not by religion. I mean its ok if you are muslim. If dont force your spouse to change. It doesn't really matter. I am a hindu and bro i love zayn.
I personally don't care about religion as long as someone's a nice guy that I feel a connection with.
Of course I would and you sound great because I'm not one those strict Muslims either.
Thanks.
I've always been under the impression that the traditional muslim men have multiple wives and are polygamous. But I know the modern Muslims are monogamous. I have not problem with dating a Muslim or marrying one. A lot of them are nice and cute.
Thanks, some old folks are yes polygamous but its rare in new generation.
I'd date a guy regardless of his religion but if we were to actually be wedded that might complicate things.
Yes cause I'm Muslim, but I would prefer a more practicing Muslim tho
I'd be very very careful there. Would probably go on a few dates but if keep my guard up
Yes but it didn't go well because even though he was non- practicing he still held certain beliefs and expectation a about women. Maybe not even at a conscious level but I was far too independent for it to work.
I would if not too religious, the same goes for Buddhists, Christians, etc.
Since I'm open minded I wouldn't really care what my boyfriend would want to believe in only if he would respect my choice not to believe in anything alike.
No I wouldn't. Don't mean to be rude but I think religion is stupid. Done here.
I don't look to religion that way but as a part of culture I don't even believe in God.
But if you're a Muslim you believe in the stuff to do with Allah, Qu'ran and stuff. So what you're saying is you have your own beliefs, including not believing in a god, but just call yourself Muslim anyway. Doesn't make sense.
like I said don't believe in supernatural and stuffs related to gods and angels etc. but Islam is part of me cause I born and raised into it its more like a culture and a history to me.
I date a Muslim man with this same situation. Because he is non practicing and I am not affiliated with any religion, we do not see it as any type of issue and he is the best thing in my world.
If I like him and he is broadminded. Then sure! Why not?
I have dated one before long relationship but the clash in religion made things difficult and the breakup eventually so is be cautious before going into another relationship with a Muslim man
