I’m struggling 😭
I’m really trying to strengthen my relationship with Allah by removing unnecessary distractions and being more mindful of my interactions. At the same time, I’m still looking for a spouse after exhausting pretty much every other avenue (family, friends, the masjid, WhatsApp groups, etc.), so I’m considering going back on Muzz.
My dilemma is that I want to keep things as halal as possible and limit unnecessary interactions with non-mahram men. It feels like those two goals almost conflict with each other—how do you get to know someone for marriage without having ongoing conversations with the opposite gender?
For those who have navigated this in a way that protected their deen, how did you approach it? Did you set boundaries, involve a wali early, or have any practical advice?
Update: This post is not an invitation for non-mahrams to message me privately. Please do not DM me. If you have advice to offer, you’re welcome to leave it in the comments where others can benefit as well.
