Taking A Look At Arab Dating

By Martha Schmidt


Having a date with Arabic people can be different, depending where region they are from. In their culture they tend to protect the reputation of women when deciding to go on a date. This has not changed over the years. Nowadays they can meet new people through dating sites. Many women are now able to make a choice for themselves. But with Arab dating, selecting a suitable husband is still important.

Traditionally a man brings gifts to his future wife when he comes to visit. In the Gulf regions people with a serious relationship will sign a contract with each other. Men depend on their female relatives to help them find a partner. The family will not allow the women to go on dates before they get married. People in these regions believe firmly in arranged marriages. They respect this because family is very important to them.

When they are dating, Arabic women tend to keep their dates secret. The reason they do this is because they do not want to get a bad reputation. They also want to protect the reputation of their family. The embarrassment is for the whole family if they discover that a woman is having dates. If a woman is not conservative it will be very hard for her to find someone who wants to marry her. The family will not accept that. Her behavior determines whether she will be able find a good husband or not.

Being a virgin is honored in these cultures. Keeping your virginity until you are married is very important. The honor of the family is reflected in this manner. It is not unusual in these regions to have dates and sexual activities without having actual intercourse.

Working or studying in Western countries gives women the opportunity to meet men. Going to school and working let them have more interactions with the other gender. Sometimes they go on dates, but they prefer to keep this a secret from their family. Marrying someone from another culture is not common, although it does occur. In Western nations it is very easy for Arabic women to have dates.

Arabic parents in the west use different ways to let their children meet potential mates. They may organize events like matrimonial dinners or dating sessions where the children can meet prospective mates in a monitored environment. But some people decide to meet people and chat through online sites. They usually do this with the help of mutual friends.

When it comes to the choice of a partner for their child, parents in Arabic cultures are very involved. Because it is forbidden to go on dates in their countries they feel the need to know who their child is dating. When their daughter is going on a date they may even send someone of the family to go with her and keep an eye on the process.

Arabic parents consider education very important for a potential mate of their daughter. If you have a degree it becomes easier to get a date with an Arabic woman. The reason why education is important for them is to secure the future of their daughter. So not only respect, reputation, virtue and family are important in their culture, but education is important as well.
