Okay, here's the deal. I've been on stupid sites like this for years. And frankly, I've been disappointed for years. Sites like this have not only made me lose faith that I will ever find someone I like enough to pursue a relationship with, but it has also made me sad that so many Muslim men have lost their way when it comes to practicing Islam. I'm tried of seeing the same guys creating profiles on different sites, all claiming that Islam is important to them but still going out and drinking with friends or guys who write in their profiles that they aren't looking for a hijabi because it "doesn't fit in" with their lifestyle. What? So here's to hoping that this site will be a different experience for me. I'm not here to play games, and I think you will quickly realize that. To a certain extent I know what I want, and though I am willing to compromise on many things, I will never settle. I am stubborn, but I know what I deserve and I don't think anyone should ever settle when it comes to something as serious as marriage.

So before you message me, I am going to address the things people in the past have, in my opinion, unfairly held against me.

I'm half Arab, half white. My father is Jordanian/Palestinian, my mom is white. I can read and write Arabic, but I don't speak it yet. I can recite Quran, which is what's really important to me. I wear hijab. I'm don't look like a typical Arab, because I'm not a typical Arab. I probably look more American than Arab, so if you're looking for a "hot Arab," keep looking. I don't wear makeup. My religion is really important to me. I want to continue to grow in my faith, because I know I have a long way to go still, but I want the man I marry to care about Islam as much if not more than I do. I'm short, so yeah, you're probably going to be a whole foot taller than me. I don't want to be a stay-at-home mom. What I want more than anything IS to be a mother, but I don't want that to be the only thing that defines me. I have goals for myself. I want my husband to respect and encourage me continuing my education, because education is something that is very important to my family.

I'm tired of making excuses for who I am. I'm tired of having to defend myself, because I don't have to be sorry for who I am. I'm confident in the woman I am becoming and I know I will find the perfect man for me someday, someone who will gladly and proudly embrace everything about me and not make me feel like I have anything to be ashamed of.

I'm sorry if I am coming off as a little feisty. I'm just disheartened, I guess.. I'm still hopeful, I just hope I don't have to run into that many jerks before I find the one.


so about me..

I'm loyal almost to a fault. I love to laugh. My family means the world to me.

I think that sums it up wanna know anything else, just ask because right now I'm an open book
