Ok, Ive pretty much dated within every race/ethnic/religion group out there so I'm not uptight about seeing someone from another culture and I actually welcome it. My conditions for seeing someone have always been that they must be Attractive/Clean/Nice, not a whole lot else and I'm not looking for sex which is always on peoples mind here. I have dated middle eastern woman who were Jewish/Christian and Agnostic, just no Muslims. This gal doesn't wear a Burqa or anything and doesn't look that much different than any other Middle Eastern girl. She is younger than most woman I ask out but not by much.
Any men or woman out there with this experience? It's not like were going to have children thats she's going to take back to Iran. There were a couple of Iranian (they said Persian) girls that I would have dated in college but they were only seeing "Persian Guys"
I would say that if she does not cover her head and dates "outside of her religion" she isn't much of a Muslim - so the question is kind of moot.
If it were *me*, I'd approach her father first and ask his permission to date her. You would definitely win some points for that one. Assuming that he does not forbid it, which he very well could (and likely should).

Ahh, thats like saying most people here arent much of Christians. I'm sure every body worships in there own way in all religions.
I'm not going to marry her, I'm just asking her out.

Ive heard a lot of things, but that would be a first!
A Muslim woman dating a non Muslim man is very rare. Especially since Muslim women are taught by their parents to only date Muslim men. However it's different with Muslim men, they can date who ever they want because Islam is a culture that gives much more freedom to men than it does to women. Not only can Muslim men date who ever they want, they can dress in Western clothes all day everyday and not get criticized for it.
Her family could be on a federal watch list. They could also be fundamentalists who want to suck you into their cult.

Kind of interesting you brought that up. A couple of the more serious relationships I was in the woman indicated that they would have no problems switching to my relgion if we got married. I took that as odd. I think this is the way it has been through history, with the woman taking on the mans religion and name. Ive always been somewhat confused by someone who would give up their faith for marriage. Since then Ive become Agnostic. I really don't feel that organized religion should be controlling my life, Any religion!
Query, Did you convert and is he imposing his religion on you? Also, when you have kids are you going to raise then Muslim?
My bf's sister grew up Muslim and she married a Christian man and converted to his religion.
Juan, I think you're putting the cart ahead of the horse here. She hasn't even accepted your offer for a date yet. Why not start by just asking her out? Don't make things more complicated than they need to be.
