ok on the real as some of you may be able to tell from some of my tweets ive been sort of talking to this boy and it hasn’t gotten very far AT ALL but because of my religious upbringing/the “shunning” of dating in islam i’ve had a really rough time trying to adjust/discover what
dating should actually be like, if that makes sense? like the religious indoctrination makes things very hard for me. i find myself microanalyzing little things he does and i keep stressing and to normal people/people who grew up with a sense of how dating works it may seem like
i’m going very overboard. which i mean i am. but also i have no idea how any of this works. i’m trying to give myself time to figure it out and thankfully the boy is also from a (lenient) muslim background but doesn’t identify with organized religion and he has understood where
i’m coming from (at least i think he has). anyways the point of this thread is that dating after religion/as an exmuslim is kind of hard lmao and if you’re struggling in the same way i am try to be patient w/ yourself anyways thanks for listening love u all stay safe
