brother i want you to think back to when you were 15, did you like people who were older than you saying that you were too young for them? no i don't think anyone of us would. so i suggest that you hang even with 15 year olds...if they come to the masjid, then hey they must be good 15 yr olds. i'm 17 and i know i would hate it if someone treated differently because of my age. and trust me i have been and it makes me angry. it's wrong. they still have a mind and they can be your friends too. i hang out with 2,3,9,10,13'14,15 and ones my age too. because it's fun as long as you have something in common with them. anyways salam.
:salam2: brother. I am sad to hear that you have still not found your soulmate. Maybe you should go to another country and marry. Egypt etc
:salam2:
i tried hudatv before but it gave me some us govt type of website lol. i have thought about changing masjid but the other ones that i know are far away, which makes performing jummah difficult. as far as having people to talk to, i really don't have anybody that i can talk to. i'm the youngest and i'm treated like the baby and no one takes me seriously. i have lost contact with my father for almost 10 years now. i wish i could talk to him.

it has definitely become something that i have been beginning to consider. i love the egyptian people, many of them have been very kind to me. although going there to find a wife has been a reason for me, but my heart longs to be in a muslim majority country. a few days ago a brother posted a thread titled " OCCUPATION " and it was about the situation in palestine. the video made me very angry not only at israeli policy but american policy. how my country supports israel, which in turn uses the funds to kill my palestinian muslim brothers with my tax money :astag: .
the thing about marrying abroad is: how do i go about doing it? do i go for a month and say to myself " i'm not leaving egypt without a wife " ?
Assalaamu alaikum warahmatullaah,
Brother I'm sure there are many good sisters out there who are also in search of a husband. Try masjid hopping and I'm sure atleast one or two would be very welcoming. Also, isn't there any Marriage Program in your area? I mean like in Australia their Islaamic Organization there called IISNA has this program where they let you fill up a form and they will look for a good prospect for you. Ofcourse, keep asking Allaah subhanahu wa ta'ala and don't lose your patience 'cause Allaah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves those who are patient and Inshaa'Allaah you will be rewarded in this life or in the hereafter.

there have been some matrimonial banquet events like once or twice. the problem was that they gave these events such short notice, so i wasn't able to request time off from work to attend. i have done some masjid hopping, but it seems that the few that i attended, didn't have any women there. i have a feeling like it was a " brothers " only masjid. i mean no women whatsoever. i was afraid to ask about that when i was there. i didn't want them to say " lower your gaze brother. " why are you thinking about women? i didn't want to seem like i was desperate, especially since these people didn't know me at all.
Salaam,
For converts it can be very difficult, there are no parents to arrange us. I feel more sorry for the brother converts than females like myself, as they seem to struggle the most. I see them treated like brothers right up until it comes to marriage, then suddenly the door is slammed in their face. (metaphorically speaking)
Most Muslims are willing to share their food, clothing and knowledge with a convert but when it comes to marrying their daughters or sons to us suddenly you hear words such as...."too difficult.....cultural issues" etc., etc., Honestly I find it quite hypocritical. I pray all my brothers and sisters are joined with their soulmate very soon.
Wasalaam
