from a fun q- to religion(woah!!) to what not...
Yikes!!

Dating in Saudi-- guess there is an adrenaline rush in avoiding the law and breaking it too.. ;)


I didn't mean for it to turn into a religious discussion. But Saudi Arabia is governed by the Islamic law after all, and that is relevant information.

i guess the subject is enough to get the best of all of us...with a mix of cultures, we are definitely gonna get some "illumination" here.
my understanding of "dating" and "picking up girls" are different subjects. dating would involve some romance. but picking up girls may involve anything from a one night stand to romance.
so yeh one night stand in saudi, definitely no no

Actually, you didn't.  The religious elements just kind of *happened* and you challenged what you perceived to be misinformation.

Alliecat

Okay, I guess we should take pity on somebody begging for illumination.

So I searched out this book--I think he can buy it at Jarir ;)

Come on guys...you scare people.
I know here are normal girls, they need guys, but they are scared.
I just want to know is there anyone here can share expirience how to hide nicely and how to make girl feels safe?


I think it's  IMPORTANT for people to know the consequences here. Often people on this blog (usually Saudis) act like it's okay to date and nobody is ever going to bother you.  However, this isn't the case.  Sometimes you get away with it--sometimes you don't. People need to be INFORMED in order to make clear decision about whether or not they want to take the chance.


very well said :)

Not a reliable source for Islamic rulings and information. Anyone can just Google stuff and paste them. Please don't mislead others in the future. I'll be more than happy to answer questions regarding Islam if you have any.


Google should delete the content. Even in the article its mentioned the same. So Article publisher are more corrective to publish before the approval

Nah. As awesome and powerful as Google might be, they don't own or regulate the internet. They just index it. Easier solution is to just rely on reliable sources.

And common sense is to get the information from someone who practices Islam at the very least.

Experts who write articles people trust the most. And Expert don't publish without someone having strong knowledge & experience

I guess I am missing out on the fun by not posting.. should I shouldn't I?

Trols, robots and everybody else -- Where did the islamic rulings and laws come into play here?? I am going to say this AGAIN!

Dating in saudi - possible, but just have to accept the risks involved since two unrelated people of different genders are not supposed to mix.. But still very possible! :D

@Saudi guy_ you are dragging out stuff from I do not know where.
@wilson - Internet is perhaps the last free place where you can write what you want, so...
@AC- a book helps?? Come on... you know better. :D

I guess  I have to explain this to you. So i'll say it again.

The current subject of this thread is the consequences of dating in Saudi. A fellow member posted incorrect information about these consequences. I explained that he was wrong by quoting the source of Saudi ruling. The Quran.

What exactly am I 'dragging out'? I don't get it.

What?  You never heard of 'self-help' books ?!?  There are millions of people who swear by them :P

imraan007

@redgoblin u missed out on a lot yeh. Even u missed the point  clarification was presented by Saudi guy. It was a response to clarify incorrect understanding about a point which he knows well enough...I myself wanted clarification and in no means was he trying to impose religion. I believe that this forum does allow freedom of thought an expression so agree with Wilson and Allie cat was trying to throw some humor on the subject.
Again....u should know better red and let's keep up to date plz.

saimans

I belief in all religion, im not here to spread humor just helping people to know about Dating can cause affects or lucky person can survive without effects :cool:

Regards
Wilson

Alliecat

Okay, for many of you (most?) English is your second language so I often see you misunderstanding each other.

For example:  Wilson, Imraan was saying he agrees with you because of freedom of expression and said that *I* was trying to show some humor, which I was.

Sometimes topics/posts/people can 'press my buttons' and you'll see that I can be very serious and opinionated.  But most of the time, I just like to help people and, in the process, maybe have a few laughs :)

1.  No, you didn't agree.

2.  You digressed by discussing religion but I realized the tenuous link to the topic.

3. Talking about asses is as close as I get to dating so it IS on topic! :joking:

imraan007

and we are off topic...anyways i think u guys, all of u make this forum so interesting. every one with his or her own spice to the mix.
i guess i am guilty for getting little sensitive sometimes too. and there is a lot of misundersanding going around, but i love the wicked humor...i need that true raw humour, man's best medicine.
anyways, i was just trying to clarify what the discussion was about.
btw i love dates (the ones you can eat) :p

Maya Maya

lol @ imraan007

saimans

@ Imran007 - you can only eat dates here lol.....:lol::lol::lol:

imraan007
