Dating with an intention to marry (also called courting) is okay.

Keep it short, 1-2 dates in public at a fancy restaurant where you both have lots of opportunities to chat about compatibility and future.

Second or third date should be at hers house with her mahram

No touching though

I agree sxb this is the only type of "dating" that is acceptable, Atleast for a practicing Muslim.

1-2 dates/courtship at a restaurant plus getting to know each other's family should be enough if both of you guys are physically attracted to each other and just need to know if both of your future goals and personalities align.
 
When you date someone that's
When you trutly get to know
Them better. High divorce
Rates are from ppl rushing
Into marriage who aren't
Compatible.

Where does this come from???
I personally have never dated but I would definitely consider doing so in the future. Reason being: I don't want an arranged marriage-- I wanna thoroughly get to know (and vet) whoever I'm gonna be stuck with for the rest of my life. Dating, imo, is an interview process and a way to filter out what you like from what you don't.

OP, I think you may have a different idea of what "dating" involves than some here do. Why is there an insinuation that s-x must always accompany the concept of dating? Different people, different rules. :zhqjlmx:

It seems that I have a different definition of dating and arranged marriage.

So then for Somalis, what IS dating? My crew had a lot of Pakistanis and their idea of arranged marriage is just a short meeting with the guy your parents chose for you.

For Somalis, arranged marriage is more of a suggestion your parents or relatives made about a person, and then with your mahram you meet up with them a couple of times to discuss your compatability.

So then dating for you is just doing that but without the Mahram?
 
Guys who choose to be single such as myself ain't all bad, personally I would always give my friend who's had an argument with their husbands a shoulder to cry on and I am a good listener who's always empathetic empathetic towards any demsel in distress I'm always compassionate towards married women I love them as they're my fellow human beings:friendhug:

I agree. But I've heard that it's ceeb to ask the hard hitting questions and tbh I think that also contributes to the high divorce rate.

So then what is the purpose of dating if it's regarded as informal meetings? Does it give you a chance to really get to know each other like discussing what your duties as a husband/wife are or is it just to amp up the romance so you could say that you loved them before you wed them?

Its just getting to know and hanging out with someone before you decide to marry them.
