So I, and our Social Media Editor Hadeel, endured the awkward cluster of Muslim dating profiles so you don’t have to (you’re very welcome). There’s that woman in the community who knows the scoop on almost everybody. What are your options? You scour the web pages of your local masjid for upcoming events. You’re out of school now, and hadn’t really liked anyone in the MSA. Whatever the reason, you’ve started to consider your options. Or maybe the pieces have actually (alhumdulillah) come together, and you feel ready to get married. Your grandmother will ask (lacking any kind of subtlety) when you’ll be getting married.Īnd maybe you’re open to the idea, or having some serious FOMO sifting through engagement announcements on your Facebook homepage. Your dad might come home from jummah, saying he just ran into some dude you went to elementary school with, who’s an engineer now at a tech start-up. You’ll get stopped at random dinner parties and questioned about your life plans by aunties you’ve never met. If you’re a woman in your twenties, this might be year round for y’all.
With “ spoopy ” season coming to a close, we’re quickly approaching the greatest time of year for rishtay wali aunties, or match-making aunties: cuffing season.
