Yeah you hit the nail on the head precisely here. I also think that Somalis in the west are one of the few immigrant Muslim communities that don't really free mix between the genders. Just go to any university and you'll see big groups of Arab guys and girls socializing, and the same with South Asians. Lots of Arabs and South Asians date in uni while Somali guys and girls avoid each other like the plague unfortunately, which is when you get a perverse situation where "Hillary becomes easier than Halimo", because Hillary is the girl who you interact with at school or work everyday.

Somali youth would rather free mix with ajnabi from the opposite gender then their own for fear of community backlash, which is part of the problem. There needs to be halal ways for these youth to interact. For barely nominally Muslim Somali males, this is how they fall into the trap of ending up married to a white girl. It's a problem that will only increase with time and I don't think there's an easy solution.
Yes, I guess it just comes down to the feeling that there is more anonymity and less consequences when one dates out. I like your point about the halal dating within ones own group...since most indiciduals are going to participate in some sort of interaction anyways(which tend to be 'worse' in terms of sin & cultural outcome). I think the bigger problem though is that some wouldn't even participate in 'halal' dating with their own, even if they had the chance, because that was never their intention in the first place(refer to poster above^^ "white women are for 'fun'..."). Smh.
