So, you want to get to know someone for halal purposes?
First thing you have to understand is that women need to be mentally stimulated, feel safe and provided for.
A good looking man will be passed up for an average looking man who knows how to do this.
Here are some basic tips that can also easily apply for women who are getting to know men.
DON'T
LIE.
Women are very emotionally astute and will remember everything you have told them.
Honesty is very attractive, try it.
BRAG
Are you rich, highly educated or whatever else? Don't mention it, she will notice it or find out anyway. Braggarts are inherently untrustworthy.
Or you will attract the wrong type of woman.
RUSH MARRIAGE
This especially happens with "wadaad" types who like to get married/nikaax within a short amount time.
You will look desperate, shady or horny. None of which are appealing.
DO
Show her a sample of what marriage with you would be like
Are you funny, show it
Are you generous, show it
Are you protective, show it
Are you shy, show it.
Don't hide your true personality.
respect her time
If she tells you she cannot speak at a certain time/hour, don't pressure her to fit into your timetable.
ASK QUESTIONS!!
Ask her about her wants, desires, dreams.
Ask her what she considers a good marriage so you are on the same page in terms of your future
Remember the details, write them down if you want so you can surprise her with the knowledge later on.
FOCUS ON HER
When you are getting to know her and in her presence, don't stare at the sides of her head or at your phone, in fact, put your phone on silent.
If you cannot focus on her during the short time you are in her presence she will think you have ADHD or are a shifty player.
CONSULT A MARRIAGE COUNSELLOR WHEN YOU AGREE TO MARRY
So that you can start your relationship on a solid foundation, you need to figure out your communication AND conflict resolution styles so that you don't get divorced after your first major disagreement.
