Finding A Good Muslim Dating Service
I'm not a Muslim. In fact, I'm not a Christian either, at least not a practicing one. When it comes to religion, I try to keep it out of my daily life and it rarely enters into my dating life, except with my last girlfriend, but that's a story for another time. You could imagine my surprise when the other day a friend of mine, who knows me pretty well, asked if I could recommend a Muslim dating service for him. While I'm sort of a dating guru to my friends, I've never tried dating Muslims. This is not out of any type of bias on my part, just the way things have turned out until now.
Always up for a challenge, I started searching for a good Muslim dating service that my friend could use. I found plenty, but I needed more information. First off, most of the sites I found were designed to help someone find a wife of the same faith, so I asked my friend if he was looking for a Muslim bride or just a casual fling. He told me that a commitment was his ultimate goal, but he would like to get to know her first.
While that made my job easier, it became clear that he would still have some work to do after my recommendation was made. It wasn't as simple as choosing a site and then starting to look for some generic catch-all type of Muslim fantasy girl and poof, she'd appear. Instead, most sites I found asked many questions dealing with the specific sect one was a part of and one's specific beliefs and practices. I informed him of this, and it didn't seem to come as a surprise at all.
I based my research on what he had told me and my knowledge of dating sites in general then recommended what I felt would be the right Muslim dating service for him. I hope it works out, but, either way, I feel that this experience actually taught me something about how things work when one's faith plays a major part in finding a significant other.

Online dating has changed really…but so has also changed the fear of meeting someone with his faked profile…I dont consider safe meeting at all guys from facebook, Myspace etc
