So everyone seems to be totally ‘on’ marriage. Marriage Feverrr (ok not everyone but a few of us – you know who you are).

Continuing my sentence (http://www.therevival.co.uk/forum/general/7299#comment-161691): A friend from uni suggested that I join Single Muslims. Com (is that the right one – I’m not sure now but anyway it was one of those online things where you can meet other single Muslims – preferably to marry that is and not waste time with). She was joking of course, um I think.

So yeh I joined.

JOKE!

I didn’t join (but in fear of making fun of something that I may actually end up doing, i’ll stop there). I wonder how they work though – I personally have never been on a dating – sorry match maker site before. Wouldn’t it be interesting to go undercover (well sort of) to find out the way those things run?

Orrr maybe not. Lalala =S

Yesterday I noticed the guy I work with was, well, getting looks from young – school girls. He was teased about it of course and that’s when he said something like ‘nah man, one year is okay’ referring to the gap between the girl and the guy (the school girls according to him are too young for him – he’s 23 I think)

That got me thinking, what would my perfect gap be? One of my friends wants one of about 7 years (her being younger of course) and another advised not to get married to someone the same age as you because girls mature faster than guys. Of course we all know that Islamically the gap isn’t too much of an issue – using the example of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his first wife, but what about just individually. What is the perfect gap for you, yourself and um you?

That got me thinking, (déjà vu – I think I’ve said that already, ah yes I have) I was also pondering on the appearance of the person – we’ve all got bits of an image created in our minds. Like say the colour of their eyes or hair, their height, weight, shoe size – ok slight exaggeration, but you know what I mean.

(Byyy the way I do feel like listing my personal likes and dislikes but that would take forever and besides I’ve had to cheat a little with the time – I saved the title first so that the day doesn’t run into tomorrow – then I’m going to edit it and include this long thing. Not to mention it might be slightly weird.)

Ohh and finally (ok I could have included a whole extra thirty points or something but I’ll pass), where we shall meet this person? Will out eyes lock while sitting at separate ends of a room? (Woah, hold up soppiness or what?!) How will we meet? Will we have one of those – I hated you at the beginning then finally liked you kinda moments or will it be like a crazy scene where ma and pa (mama and papa, mummy and daddy, ammi and abu, ummi and abi) come into the room holding a photo in their hands (of some not so pleasant stranger) yelling ‘ THIS IS WHO YOU’RE MARRYING, GET DRESSED NOW!’

God forbid if it’s the latter. Ooh it just gave me shivers. Brr. Scary.. Totally.
