25m Pakistani American here. About to turn 26. Born and raised in the US, but lived in Pakistan for ~8 years. Went to school there and everything, so it's not like im uncultured.

I've recently been thinking of getting married.

I am pretty well off financially alhamdulilah, and have fulfilled most milestones aside from getting a partner.

The problem is, I don't really meet too many muslim girls in my day to day life, and my own friend group consists of non-muslims.

I'm decently religious, and have kept away from having female friends. I also never go to bars and other similar places with my friends which is where the majority of people meet their partner.

Doesn't help that I work remotely aside from the few times I have to travel to a client. This is in a male dominated profession(cybersecurity).

So yeah, I'm probably gonna give my ammi the approval to spread the word amongst her network(which is mainly back home). She'll be overjoyed no doubt lol.

Me and my family are essentially punjabis(ethnic kashmiris, live in Gujranwala), and I really love my people. I went a few years ago after a decade away, and I had forgotten how much I love hanging out with other punjabis. Reignited my love for Pakistan.

So yeah, for my main question: has any other Pakistani American gone through this, and how was your experience?

80 MG a day

1 20 mg upon waking up(at least 30 minutes before eating)

1 20 MG after eating dinner

2 20 MG before bed

Helped my main symptoms that ppis didn't(oneprazole 40mg)
