Check your premise Asif!

Did you find the beauty ``divine`` only until you had some chance to own her? And as soon as you discovered that she was already engaged ``the spell was broken``. How dubious?

Love is like life. You got to go along no matter what the situations are.

oh! but you never said, you were in love, it was just like a tickel, itching, and her boyfriend got you the curing ointment...isn`t it?

Asif,

nice! gives one a sense of de-ja-vu; bubble-gum pop and teenage love.

nazarhayatkhan....it was too early to propose! one doesn`t propose over a simple infatuation...plus also she was a kafir christian so i would have insisted she convert to islam before i married her even if she had said `yes`.

those of you liked my article...thanks.

:-)

manto
i am not sure whether to take your comments as a compliment or not! howz married life anyway?

i did originally post a much longer article--about 30% longer--but chowk editors insisted i make it shorter. the original version was more personal with more philosophical insights...
unfortunately i never saved it so i cannot put it up on here...if the chowk editors still have it it`d be good if they could repost it in here...

:-)

Wow... talk about classical Islamic civilization... perhaps had you revealed this side of your Islam before, we might not have been as harsh about your views as we were :)

Great article... and for this and for Muslims like you... I must say Allah Hu Akbar.

I agree: You gave up far too soon.

May I recommend the Ladder theory?

Wrt #29 by hamidm2:

[..........subhan allah!.........what kind of crap is this ?..............when i see a beautiful woman with olive skin, dark red lips and doe-like eyes all i feel is a stirring in my loins ......... but come to think of it, at my age, that in itself is a small miracle - so i guess a few subhanallahs are in order ........ so, subhanallah!
............ and who do you blame when you see a fat ugly woman from wisconsin ?...... satan?]

You don`t get it...the writer here is a bit of a Sufi, therefore he praises divinity for every beautiful creation. But the true believers (men, women) are supposed to say subhanallah with greater fervour when they see fat ugly women from Wisconsin, men with beer bellies, women with moustaches, men without moustaches, women with creased expressions and starched clothes, men who wear synthetic fabrics and jewellery, men with hair coming out of their ears, noses, men with soot-encrusted nails, men with a bump on their heads (this is a double whammy, so in the subhanallah the suffix is kind of stretched...). That is the reason anyone who has tasted tempting wonders is called ``shaitaan ki aulaad``.

Asif is right. He has run a search engine, mashaallah!

Asif # 27

(who told you men dont have orgasms?! )

Not trying to be overly fussy with linguistics - in sex everything goes.

But climaxing of female sexual experience is termed as `Orgasm`.
The climaxing of male experience is simply termed as `Ejaculation`.

By proposing, I meant `Will you marry me?`. Propose is always used in this sense.
You invite people to `Go out` or `Dance` or `Dinner`.

very nice story, glad you met someone interesting..better luck next-time.

1. Do you always cereal or somtimes fried eggs or hash (something from the grill) as well? Is it not haram if bacon was fried on the same grill?
2. Is there anything in hadith about proper way to date? (no, not the khajur kind) Does one have to take any precautions before dating a Christian? For example, if she eats pork or drinks al-cohol, is angrezi chummi kosher?
3. Is it better to go on a male of her family present?

regards

Asif,
You gave up too fast. Once she said she had a boyfriend, you should have switched to Plan B. Plan B is to become friends with her, so that you get a chance to hang out with her without pressurizing her to date you. Since her boyfriend is back home, you know the saying -``Out of sight, out of mind``. Sooner or later, she would have some argument with her boyfriend. It is inevitable, especially if they are physically separate. Also she may get lonely and desire company. So if you hang in there, most likely your chance would come. Of course, your willingness to spend some money on dinners, lunches etc. (on a friendly basis, of course :-) ) would certainly help.
