As-salamu alaykum, I am a genealogist and I am in the process of becoming a writer of fiction and non-fiction. I live near Pittsburgh in the United States. I'm an introvert. I do not drink, smoke or gamble and I am celibate until marriage. I'm a staunch believer in loyalty and family. I'd like to find someone who is also a bit on traditional side and feels the same. I've been told I have a good sense of humor before and I enjoy making others laugh.
In terms of my deen, I am new to Islam, although I first read the Quran about a decade ago and have studied the works of Islamic scholars. I have been a devout Christian most of my life and I am descended from Christian nobility, including Sayyid Abu Zayd, an Almohad descendant of the Idrisids, who left the fold to become Catholic.
Although attracted to the Zaidi fiqh, given that it is virtually non-existent outside of Yemen, I would be comfortable attending more or less any Sunni masjid.
I am looking for a kind, sweet and religious girl. Someone with an artistic or scholarly side perhaps who I could have interesting discussions with. Someone who is not overly materialistic and makes it easy for me to hold them in the highest regard. I am not interested in ladies with tattoos or who are unduly modern in dress and actions. Most important is that we have some things in common, so we can share joyful experiences, but it also imperative that we can respect in one another the inevitable differences that we will have.
