Living the single life

[Humbler_359]

lol i hope that wasn't directed to me! couldn't really tell. Actually most men/their families i came across were very materialistic, wanting money, a working wife, not interested in religion, not practicing well, didn't have knowledge of religion, weren't even happy that i wore hijab/niqab which tends to hinder my ability to work, etc. Not the kind of guy I want.

Another problem nowadays is that some ppl don't even properly propose. Like they'd give hints that they are interested, but don't actually ask, probably expecting the woman/her family to propose to him but that doesn't really work imo. I think women would rarely propose to a guy because that's culturally unaccepted. If a guy can't get the courage to propose, then how can he expect a woman to do it?

If a guy wants to marry someone, he should properly propose, speak to her family and tell her about himself, get to know each other / each other's family & then proceed to get engaged and married. And he shouldn't expect the woman's family to move things forward! That's a real put off. It only tells her he isn't interested.

;D, no it is not directed to you, sister. Well said. Yes, i agreed that some men are not practicing in Islam, they want everything including job, house, working wife, money, it is more related to cultures things. For instance, I went to matrimonial sites to look around, I was confused, their description seems more materialistic (more than Islam). I would prefer moderate life in balance in family and Islam with a good practicing, knowledges and understand Qur'an.

I learned that we can request Imaam in any Mosque for any good practicing Muslimah/brothers instead untrusted matrimonial sites and competitors.

Yep, every guy should propose to woman and inform her family that he really like her. Simple. I dont know, some other are opposite way. Probably shy, :embarrass. However, it should not be shy.
