Techincally sara, we are giving the guy some pretty good advice here: if you wanna stay alive and in Canada, you are probably better off not dating

Woah, using "proud" was a bad idea, more like 'encouraging'. By "dating" I meant the whole parents knowing the situation thing as well. That's definitely a good thing (not the beating and all, but the "lesson") to get him back on track. He probably is better off not dating. But let's put it this way, for someone who has that idea already in their head, it's not that easy to get it out of their head. And let's face it, not everyone that says "I'm Muslim" follows the definition of what a Muslim is, guys and girls.
Ps- I know what an Imam is.. I'm not out of the loop I swear , Lol

PS- I bet Rossclot wishes he never started this, or for it to be closed asap =$

1) Don't raep.
2) Don't leave harassing emails/voicemails.
3) Don't be overly-clingly, overly-needy, or overly-jealous/obsessed.
4) Build a friendship, if you like her or feel like it can go somewhere, ask her if she'd like to maybe go for dinner at a nice restaurant (or east sides ) and reassure her that it's okay if she's not interested.
5) ???
6) Profit!

And for fvcks sakes, tell him not to do "coffee and a movie."

Done deal.
You're welcome.

LOL at above, My parents would definitely not be proud or encourage any type of dating. Im thinking they would lean towards castration LOL (I joke )

Why the LOL? My post was super serious. ;D

I'm in no way encouraging it, I hope you know that . I'm simply stating what I've seen. And let's be realistic. Not every "brown" family is as you guys described (beating and such), there's always exceptions, which I just happened to encounter before what's known as "normal".

And you're telling ME to calm down.
You're funny.

If you like coffee and a movie; then you're a boring pile of dung. Yea, watching a movie and not talking to someone is SO SUPER EXCITING.

And you're chirping me about not being able to read, but I didn't suggest east sides as an option, I said take her to a nice restaurant. And then I said OR EAST SIDES, because it's my personal preference.

So um.

Winrar!

For a minute there, i thought you were telling lawley in another thread to learn some manners. If so, [email protected]

On the matter of coffee/movie on dates, it's pretty damn lame. A) Coffee is evil, and B) the point of dating in the early stage is to get to know someone. not much you can find out while you shut up to watch a movie.

I understand that. But the conversation was regarding both religious and cultural values, not just Islam.

Please be respectful to other MacInsiders members. This is definitely not the way a response to a discussion should be.
