Is dating a sin in Kuwait?

Compared to the USA, living in Kuwait as a Christian, American girl is completely different in many good and only a few bad ways. Most of my friends in America frequent dance clubs, trendy bars and cafes on the weekends. Kuwait doesn't have any legal clubs or bars since it's a dry, Muslim country. There are no liquor stores or rave parties unless they are illegal. Most of my friends can't believe I would move to a country where I can't even go to a club to dance and hear live music. Of course most of my girlfriends can't hop on a 50 minute flight to Dubai or Bahrain either. They don't get to jump on a plane to Europe whenever they get a three day weekend. I wouldn't be here if I didn't love it.

One thing you learn quickly in Kuwait is that dating amongst the locals isn't like dating in the US. Of course they date here but it's all on the down low. They hook up over the Internet, chat apps, blackberry, Bluetooth, malls, cafe's, driving in cars, etc. They date at empty beach houses, family farms, and parked cars or during the winter in big tents in the desert. They flock to the Expat areas (Mahboula, Fintas, Fahaheel) for coffee and dinner dates at American restaurants. So they can hide from their co-workers, fellow students or relatives who might see them and destroy their reputation.

The big three

Family, Reputation, Honor

is something you don't mess with here. When it's time to marry a local is often put under the microscope. Their Mothers are networking and searching for that suitable mate. Does he have a lot stamps on his passport to Morocco, Thailand, Bahrain, Egypt and Dubai? This would mean 'fun trips' to be with girls. Did she study in the US where she might have gone wild compared to Kuwait where she would have parental supervision? Does she spend a lot of time at the mall with her friends where she might be flirting with the opposite sex? Does he have a bad reputation for chasing girls?

I would bet that many locals might find it hard to believe that even in America sometimes dating is forbidden. In strict Christian societies arranged marriage and virginity until marriage is often the norm. I found this article below written by an American girl that came from a strict Christian family and I thought it was interesting. Since several of the locals that I've met here think American girls are just like Hollywood movies. We are portrayed as uneducated, wild girls jumping in and out of the sack and having illegitimate babies at sixteen. Of course this does happen a lot in America compared to Kuwait. This is also not a crime in America in most cases. If you get pregnant here when you are not married it is a serious crime punishable by jail and maybe even death (honor crime) by a relative.

I do feel that one reason women do not have a high rate of illegitimate babies here is that they do practice abstinence more. They simply aren’t allowed to socialize with the opposite sex unless it’s a brother, uncle or parent. But they also use the ‘back door’ too and you don’t find many American girls doing that as a form of birth control or maintaining honor so they can one day marry as a ‘technical’ virgin.

Is Dating A Sin?

This article below is by YourTango

As a young girl, raised in a Fundamentalist home in Texas, I believed that I was supposed to get married. My friends and I often played games where we matched ourselves up with the other boys in Sunday School. As I got older, my parents encouraged my sisters and I to think about courtship. Courtship, loosely defined, is a man asking my parents permission to "hang out" with one of us girls and then asking permission to move to "dating" only after declaring his intentions for marriage. My parents explained that the world of dating was just too full of heart break and anytime your heart broke, you lost a piece of it. "Don't you want to give your husband your WHOLE heart?"

My family wasn't the only one caught up in this idea of courtship. In the wake of the publication of I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris, a whole generation of Christian conservatives were booting modern dating out the door. There were rallies and conferences where we jammed out to Christian music and cheered when a speaker said things like, "Dating is of the devil!" or "No kissing before marriage!" We sighed when we heard stories about a couple sharing their first kiss on their wedding day. We weren't just pledging our virginity, we were pledging to stay away from dating, hand-holding, kissing and the opposite sex. We were pledging to prepare ourselves to be good wives by staying submissive to our parents until the day they handed us over to our husbands.

In high school, after my parents caught me skipping work to go play tennis with some guy friends, they sent me to a camp where I was put through a week of Bible studies that focused on submission and preparing to be a Godly wife. One leader explained to me, "Women are like horses. They have power and strength, but that power and strength needs to be trained. Parents are the trainers who prepare a horse to be submissive to its eventual master." I left that camp determined to date. I figured it would be better to be a little broken hearted than to be treated like an animal.

When I finally started dating, I was surprised at how lackluster it all was. I had been prepared for a sordid world of emotional turmoil, sin and moral compromise, instead I just found really nice guys who bored me after a while. I kissed them. We held hands, but never once did I feel like I was losing a piece of myself. On the contrary, I felt like I was regaining control of who I was and what I wanted out of life. Despite my parents best efforts, none of my sisters ever tried the courting model. One sister commented that when she finally left home she realized that relationships weren't about fitting your idea of how the world should work on a person, but accepting and enjoying people as they came.

Not every one I know abandoned the courtship model, however. One friend married the son of close family friends after their parents both approved the courtship and his stated intentions to marry her. Another girl I know is 32 and still waiting for her Prince Charming to come ask her parents for permission to court. She lives at home and runs Bible studies encouraging other young women to stay submissive to their parents as preparation for their submission to their husband. While I admire her tenacity, I wonder if God wouldn't prefer it if she slapped on some lipstick and hit the town.

The idea of courtship and this movement against dating isn't just some fad. It remains a strong counter-culture movement that influences large parts of America. The best pop-culture example is the Duggars, who don't allow casual dating. Personally, I struggle with the idea of courtship. It pigeonholes women as passive creatures and men as hormone-controlled sex machines who shouldn't be allowed to be alone with girls. And yet, I understand the desire to make relationships about something more than just sex.

I didn't kiss dating goodbye, ultimately. In fact, I welcomed it with a nice big wet one one and through it, I found the man I would eventually marry. And while he did ask for my parents' permission to marry me, the choice was ours and ours alone, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Online Dating

Ok, so I am just going to come out and admit that I have been dabling with online dating of late. Why? Why do you think. because I'm frick-in bored. My work hours are 8:30 to 6 which leaves little time to meet people and its too hot outside now to go out in the evenings, so. whatever.

I don't use my real name. I don't use my real photo. I am completely up-front and honest about that. I'm not going to post all my personal stuff in a country that is as small as a postage stamp. Nooooo.

So, what kind of mens have I been meeting? Well, in real life, very few. They never make it that far. In virtual reality, I have met a ton of losers. Let's break it down, shall we?

First, the photos THEY post:

Photos holding their babies. Photos of them half-neked (and NOT well-toned). Photos which are obviously their wedding photos with the wife cut out. And then there are the guys who think it is "cool" to post ugly photos downloaded from the internet. What are these people thinkin? At least make it appealing - and SMILE. They shouldn't be mugshots. No one wants to see that.

So por moi, every once in a while, I decide to change it up and change my profile picture to another pretty picture from the internet (I actually state this on my profile). I get more hits. I often get hits from the same losers who have written to me before. They never remember chatting with me with a previous picture. Weird, eh?

It says on my profile that I don't read Arabic. So, of course, they all write to me in Arabic. Thanks. If you can't pay THAT much attention, then it is a bad sign from the get-go.

So, let's just say that I might get as far as chatting online for several days with a guy. We exchange real photos. Then, we exchange numbers. So far, so good, right? NO. Because this isn't good enough for the Losers. It isn't good enough that you should talk to someone like a human. They want to continue to chat on another medium like WhatsApp. Pick up the phone, dumbass, and talk to me! Or, they call through Viber or Tango trying to connect a video call so they can further see what I look like. Someday, they are going to invent a device where you can pre-program recorded responses and you won't ever have to lift a finger. What ever happened to meeting humans over a cup of coffee? Has it gone this far? How boring.

I've had a few guys invite me to dinner after all. Great! That is what we want to hear. Unfortunately, it has turned out that they were inviting themselves to "dinner" at my house. Not gonna happen.

Now when I'm asked, "Do you live alone?" I know how to respond. 'I live with my uncle. He's in charge of training the attack dogs for the military. We've always got a few dogs in the house that he brings home. I love dogs, don't you?' Hey. how bout you just invite me to YOUR house? Maybe your moms can cook us dinner.

I have friends (both Kuwaiti and non-Kuwaiti) who have met and married people through online dating. I met 2 of my very dear friends on the internet. One never knows. Online dating is just another medium to meet people - and it is a lot safer in Kuwait (statistically, no serial killers). I have come across several of my friends on the online dating sites. That is fascinating - especially since they posted their real photos and both are still married.

What has been my worst online dating experience? I honestly haven't had (Mashallah) really bad problems. The worst was probably the uber-rich guy who told me his full name (Flan Flan Flan Flan Al-Flan), what businesses his father owns, how many cars he has, how he has "palaces" all over the world full of "servants" (who TALKS like that. Nouveau riche apparently.), and started speaking to me in both German and Italian to try to impress me (neither of which I speak). Never let me get a word in edgewise. Never asked about ME. Then, he turned out to be a crazy stalker and called to shout obscenities at me. Very posessive and demanding. Now, if you are well-known (and you've just told me that in a million different ways in 20 minutes), you probably shouldn't be a jerk because now I can run around and tell all my friends stories about you that will be told in countless diwaniyas. Bada BING. Be polite because you never know who you might be talking to or who they might know. Not good, stupid ugly rich dude.

Really - what do we women want? I'm not online because I need you to pay my mobile phone bill or rent. I really just want a nice guy (and ok, I know I'm picky) and I want him to be "normal". Nice conversation. SINGLE. Dinner someplace nice without a cabina. Keep his promises (don't make a dinner date and then change it because YOU have to work. I don't care. A bad first impression is a bad first impression.) Respect. Et, why should we have to weed out those guys who are just after sex? State your plan in the beginning so I can get rid of you right away. Why waste both our time? Move on to someone who DOES need her rent paid.

What was the best date I had with a guy I met on the net? Oh, that's easy. We went to a restaurant that he asked me to choose. We talked for 4 hours straight and he was totally interested in everything I had to say and it was mutual. Neither of us ate very much, but we closed the place down. We didn't even realize that everyone else had left. Romantically, it didn't blossom into anything (although it remains to be seen). We just had a great time and I was blessed to have met someone wonderful. I think he feels the same way about me and that is never a bad thing, is it? I mean, if I had met the guy in other more "conventional" ways, it would also have been a roll of the dice, wouldn't it?
