does culture or ethnicity matters??? can a christian date an arab? just recently i met an arab guy specifically a jordanian. he is a good guy, respectful and intelligent. we somehow hang out and shared alot of information. soon i fall but i am holding on to my feelings since we have different religion. but somehow emotions are hard to control so i seek for some advice from my friends. well they have different views on the issue and so until now i am confused. i cannot tell if he likes me since he shared that he had 4 failed relationships and so he prefers to find a gf in jordan. i somehow is affected but still i love to go out with him. he sometimes asked me to come to his place for some tea or coffee but here in our country that is a big no no. i dont know his intentions of the invitation since there is no attachment between us, so please enlighten me

What is wrong in dating any person , if you both don't have any problems. I feel like you should have broad mentality. Also i think Muslims can marry Christians as it is said in Quran. And i think both of you have most similar beliefs as far as religion is concerned. But above all that have the feeling of he is a good person , i feel like to say go and propose him

the problem that i have is everytime he ask me out he wants it in his apartment but for me i dont feel like going there because i might be label as cheap or i dont know his intentions.

I hope this will not be an issue of being racist. For me, it is fine to have a date with anyone. There will be no issue if you don't think of what other people will say. It could be unfair if you based on their colors or origins.

i see nothing wrong in dating someone from a different part of the world as long as you have weighed all aspects.Arabs have strong cultures and you need to know whats expected of you in terms of dress code and socialising if you can mix freely with both male and female and he also needs to tell you what he is willing to allow you,then most Arabs are Muslims and value their religion too much to change for you, are you ready to change.if you can reach a good compromise between the two of you go ahead and enjoy the relationship.
