Free mixing of a girl and boy/woman and man is to be avoided as much as posssible. Ofcourse, we live in a free-mixing society where only a few areas are segregated. It is okay for a muslim woman to study or work and not get drawn into the unacceptable aspects of college and office life. We will have to speak to male colleagues sometimes, but this can be kept to a minimum and restricted "bussiness talk". Flirting is common in the West, but men would soon get the idea, froma muslim womans dress and manner that she does not wish to play the game.
PUBS
Bars and pubs are another feature of Brtish life which we should not get involved in. Less sensitive work partners or associates may overdo the jokes about wine and alcohol, but it's best to ignore this if you can, however it is irritating. The others may want you to come with them to the local pubs and would want to include you in the group. They may also even know that you don't drink alcohol and won't try to force you:"it's okay, you can have orange juice" is what they will say, but what they and the majority of muslims don't understand is that is that just avoiding booze is not enough.
It's HARAM to sit with people who are drinking. It is also HARAM to sell alcohol or even to serve or pass it to another person. Most people know that muslims aren't supposed to drink. They also believe that when a person goes into a pub, the aim is to paetake of alcohol. You might know that you're only going to have a coke, but other people don't. They'll put two together and make five !!!
Just remember that mixing is not aloud in islam and pubs/drinking are not aloud in islam because they are HARAM.

good job sis.
i really liked ur thread, it was simple
and not too long. i understand what meant about pubs but muslims dont enter pubs,
but i also understand it from a disbeliever's point of view as they might not have known
that before and u would have made them understand a muslims' way of life. Good job.

Jazaak Allaah Khayr for a good reminder (I dunno where the pub thing came from, but yeh)
In that case, you hang around with Muslim folks, my mates always talk about pubs and getting drunk, you can imagine this is the only time I dont link with them and die of boredom listening to their stories, but they actually don't go to the pub when I'm with them,
Free mixing is a MAAASIV issue down here, since everyone is doing it, peer pressure makes it quite hard to refrain from it, May Allah (Subhana wa ta'ala) guide us and help us in achieving jannah, Ameen (Say Ameen)
JazakiAllah khair for reminder,
AsalamuAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
