He is a serious I believe and is already married. I was very reluctant first as I have always been anti polygamy. But finally, I am interested in him as he is just the type of man I like. I am not a very young sister and we exchanged many questions some being quite difficult to answer like if I was virgin and many other sensitive issues. He was very much interested in me before but he now says he is busy. It could be legitimate but I wonder if he isn't that into me anymore. Maybe I shouldn't have replied to all his questions. Maybe men ask questions expecting they wont get answers etc. Also, wonder if it is my own questions that are taking him time to answer. Anyway, I am sad. Everytime I like someone sthg happens and I wonder if there is something with me. I would like to try rokia and I read Quran on some water and drink it after. But I maybe need some more help. I am so anxious. Salam,

I agree that it is harder for the woman to find a mate than for the man to find a mate. We as Muslim women have to stay within the boundaries of Islam and the man can go outside to look for his mate. Although he too has boundaries he must follow even in that. The man has to be sincere and I found that this is not being practiced by my some of my brothers in Islam. I married three and was sadly disappointed. I will not give up though. Allah is the One to depend on to provide me with a focused, God-conscious brother to have nikah with. I am inerested though in finding evidence about converts to Islam. Can that be a dower for a wife? Ma Sha Allah, I do have more questions but will ask at a later time.

Also lately, its related I feel, I have come across so many more muslim women marrying outside of the faith and Im interested to hear all about it. However I generally hear it from comments and random posts. Insha'allah things will balance themselves out soon, because its just getting too hard ‘First, because single women, unlike men, may not seek sexual fulfillment (legitimately) outside of wedlock.’
