Knowing More About Arab American Dating Is Useful

By Peter Ellis


When entering a relationship it becomes really exciting, but sometimes in various cultures they don't permit it. Some communities don't see it the same approach as most cultures do. Arab American Dating isn't always possible due to restrictions from their traditions.

In America, going out on a date is seen as a normal part of growing up. The culture and acceptance of taking your girlfriend out on a date is seen as a positive thing to do. However, in the Arab culture going on a date is mostly frowned upon and seen as a shameful act against their family. Mostly because of what Hollywood has made it out to look like. The teenagers are always seem having sex on the first date as their goal.

In their culture boys have more freedom than girls do. Girls are not treated the same and can't do the same things as boys are allowed to do. Many people regard this behavior as being sexist against woman. Many families feel that they are not being sexist but just protecting their daughters and their reputations.

Hollywood has depicted that single people who start dating only want premarital sex and nothing long term. A relationship with these values don't last and prove that these partners are not fully invested to sticking to one person. In most cases these types of people don't stay long in a relationship.

Arab families need to look out for their daughters as an unplanned pregnancy could bring disgrace to their family. Some families don't have a problem with their sons having sex and they supply their sons with condoms. However, when it comes to their daughters wanting to have premarital sex, their parents forbid it.

In their culture you will find that they do treat their daughters a lot stricter than their sons. If their son comes to their parents and asked to go to a party they have no problem. When the daughter comes to the parents to ask if she can attend a party, the parents will interrogate her. Who will be there? What are you going to do there? She will be told she isn't allowed to drink there and will need to be home early.

Dating in this community isn't an option. Most families feel that their kids need to concentrate on getting their degrees completed and then they are allowed to get married. Starting a new relationship while attending university could cause a huge distraction. They have special family counselors from their community who come around to educate families on what the dangers are when allowing your children to date.

Arranged marriages are the traditions of their culture and if they have been found in a relationship before they have been given a wife, they will be shamed within their community. Some of the younger generations view are changing and moving away from this type of traditions. American Arab Dating is starting grow within their community and being a lot more accepted than in the past.
