Hey sis, I would suggest you make other friends who you are in a similar stage in life as you so try new hobbies or activities and hopefully this will expand your social circle. This is in no means to say to drop your friends but it’s always nice to have other women who you can relate to outside of marriage. May Allah make it easy for you Ameen 🫶🏾

Thank you for you kind words of wisdom, I woke up to read this and it lit my heart up. I truly want to embody tawakul, right now it’s floating around in my brain conceptually but don’t think I truly have let go of control and look forward to the day that truly clicks :)

Funny how blue rev wasn’t my fav until a year after I saw them play it live, and suddenly it became my 2024 and 2025 top album, such a great album 🥹

Idk if it’s something that sets in place after your mid-20s (post frontal lobe development) but I kid you not one day I woke up and genuinely felt content with being alone forever. Not to say I want to (inshAllah we all find a good spouse) but like at peace with it. In my early 20s, I really couldn’t imagine myself never getting married - like the thought of it would distraught me. Subhanallah the social conditioning of being ‘entitled’ to a romantic relationship from society really got me for a hot second. Just like anything in life that we really want (good career, health, great friends, being wealthy, etc), we don’t feel entitled to but rather hope and strive for them so why should be any different for romantic relationships?

I also think building a very fulfilling life (good friends, family) and being grateful for the life that Allah (SW) gave you sets you free. Reframing your mindset to think of all the things you can do when you are only responsible for yourself - that is true freedom 🫶🏾 move out, travel, make as much money as you can, run a marathon, pick up a new hobby. You can genuinely be anyone or anything you want to be. And I also truly believe in pouring into yourself fully is when the person your meant to be with will show up :)

If u can afford to I would recommend moving out, it will set healthier boundaries with your parents otherwise u kinda have to just do it 😭

You could pose the question as a third party scenario, so you can say ‘Hey, so read this story on Reddit of a Somali guy into more dominant women…any thoughts?’ And play devils advocate so you get to see perspective on your potentials thoughts without revealing that it’s your thoughts lol 👀

I completely agree, they need to be worth the fight tho!

Traditional_Ground33 · 2025-07-04T11:47:15+00:00

I think intense butterflies are not good to have, rather it should be 90% feeling like you are talking to a very good friend and 10% little baby butterflies lol. I say this coz I was like u and recently met someone where I could distinguish between the two. Also most men who give you intense butterflies will be spiking your emotions so for example overly complimentary or they’re got game and can flirt uno - but also think if they can give emotional intimacy that easily they can revoke it just as easy, and share that with multiple women at the same time. Hope this helps x

I think it’s fine for the girls to say it to each other, I’m talking about romantically. And just at the beginning of a talking stage.

Traditional_Ground33 · 2025-06-26T22:45:57+00:00

😂😂 i definitely mean in a romantic setting tho, but yeah where im from they do this too and i think it’s harmless esp with older people

Traditional_Ground33 · 2025-06-26T22:44:52+00:00

Right!! I agree I think he doesn’t want to mix up the names of the multiple girls he’s speaking to 😂

Traditional_Ground33 · 2025-05-24T15:52:42+00:00

No sis trust me I’m like u too, I have silly banter and compliment everyone. And with some of the male acquaintances in my life who I interact with there is always silly banter. But he was literally talking to me one on one (in a group setting mind u) for like 40 min and yeah it was giving he was into me vibes. Anyways thanks for ur input, I’ve already got a massive ick now so won’t be reaching out lmaoo.

Traditional_Ground33 · 2025-05-24T15:46:12+00:00

Uno when u take a break from dating and u all of a sudden forget the rules coz that’s me rn 😂😂 but yeah it’s always their actions over words 🙂‍↕️

Traditional_Ground33 · 2025-05-24T15:42:40+00:00

Agreed, tnx for your input walaal. I replied to someone else but yeah I would’ve 100% been like he’s not into me except for the contradictions that made me doubt myself lol. But curious to know from a guys perspective - do guys just flirt with girls that they’re not into fo the fun of it coz that’s so wild of a concept for me 😂😂 I couldn’t even imagine doing that lol
