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.

In their culture family is of great importance. Many families in the Gulf regions and Middle East believe in arranged marriages. That is the reason why Arabian women are not allowed to have dates before they are married. Usually the man relies on female relatives in order to find a mate. In the Gulf regions when there is a formal relationship it will be marked by a marriage contract. When he brings a visit to the future bride the man will bring gifts like perfume and jewelry.

In this culture when a woman is dating she will usually keep that a secret in order to protect her reputation and the reputation of her family. They do not take shame lightly. If a woman does something that is considered shameful or embarrassing, it will not only affect her but also her complete family. Being conservative is important in order to find someone to marry. If a woman has a bad reputation of going out with different men it will become difficult to get married. In order to have a good reputation her behavior is of great importance.

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.

Having a date is easier for an Arabic woman in Western societies, even with men of other cultures. When they go to school or to work they have open interactions with men. Marriages with people of other culture do occur, but they are very rare. But when they are studying or working in Western nations the women have more freedom to meet men and they may choose to go on secret dates.

With the help of their friends and using the internet it is possible to meet new people. However the parents prefer to be involved in the relationships of their children. They go out of their way to organize events where they can invite potential partners to come and meet their children. It is important for them to monitor the situation.

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.

Virtue, reputation, respect and family are not the only important things in their culture. Education is also a very important aspect when one is going out with Arabic women. Having a degree will give you an advantage when you want to date Arabic women, because the family considers education as a way of securing the future for their daughter.
