Once you have kids, giving "all" is out of question, but possibility of being a "one whole thing" is pretty much the same and even better, cause everyone in "in"... Blimey, what did I just say...
Oh Berry, I do so well understand you... I am in a similar situation myself and that's why I decided to keep away from dating, chatting, even "coffee drinking" with males...excluding long time friends... The question "Is it fair to ask someone to put up with my restrictions?" is as right as it is wrong. If someone wants to be with you and is fine with your situation, well, no need to feel bad, you are not to decide, he is. Sometimes it's also down to "Do I have the time" for a relationship...if you can juggle all the balls, great, if not, may be someone is willing to help, you never know...
I marked some of the text I posted before in red, if you go back and read it you will see that, actually, the Muslim assimilated part of the non Muslims and not the vice versa. It has become the third largest faith so fast not because it was assimilated but because they are assimilating...
It's you right Purr...to disagree... I have a very close and long experience with Muslims from Arab peninsula, ME, Pakistan, Turkey, Bulgaria and so on... Muslims can marry someone from other religion only if they convert to Islam. There might be few exception but as a whole they are strict. They make anything to show they don't care about religious strictness but it's just to make you feel better. It is very hard, even impossible for someone to make a good judgment on Muslim's life from just living in an area where you happen to have some Muslim residents.
see post #381. i did extensive research.muslim men outnumbered women 4 to 1 back then. they began marrying outside their race and this helped them to assimilate.[/quote
Muslims never assimilate Purr, they are very strict on preserving their faith, culture, way of life... Muslims in Bulgaria never marry outsiders, even if they are considered to be very modern.
Oh, don't you worry about me, I know where I am, been on here more than 4 years... But who cares about what a person looks like, isn't it the personality that counts?! I like what she represents, with or without a photo...
Haha, it's just a part of a social experiment Whisper...
I am sure in one thing my darling, you are a rare breed, you have it all, you are feminine, beautiful, smart, intelligent, great sense of humour, wise, I don't know if a man can ask for more than that.
It was going to be a privilege if could've met you in person.
Yes, that's the reason, we are not in Schengen, free movement zone... Bulgaria gives citizenship to all British people who live in Bulgaria. It's up to them if they want to take it...
It was actually a "Female only event" and not specific to any ethnic or religious group... But they insisted on "Islamically appropriate" clothes... Why?
