Assalamu alaykum, I'm 24 years old, from Sweden, and I currently study and work. I have no experience in relationships. Most of the guys who approach me are ajnabi, and I barely have any Somali friends, which stresses me out because it feels like the older I get, the more likely I am to grow distant from my culture and community. It seems logical to wait until I’ve settled in my career and built a solid community, but I really don’t want to be 29 and going on my first “date.” The only guy (he was somali) I considered as a potential insinuated I was easy for initiating convo (literally just said salam and how are you) so now I’m extra anxious about that too
