Meaning, I assume, that you have no idea what his views are about being seen with a white woman DK?

Societal pressures are SO strong. I can tell that he IS really attracted to me. He always talks to me and looks at me, notices me, and speaks to me when I walk into a room. I hugged him once for helping me fix my car and he was sooo shy about it - it was adorable because he is this deep-voiced rough-seeming guy from the west end. He is really intelligent too. And a vegetarian. Doesn't drink or smoke. Super principled. I really respect that.

 

I think you might be confusing regular Islam with N.O.I (Nation of Islam). If he is in the N.O.I. he probably wont be into you. If he is regular muslim, the only reason he wouldn't be is because you aren't muslim and thus your relationship "is not written". Could you specify what kind of muslim he is? He might actually be more open to you if he is Shia as opposed to Sunni.

 

I really don't know which one. I think I remember him saying at lunch one time to someone else (that's the only time I see him), that his girlfriend/wife/significant other would not have to be Muslim or convert to Islam. That doesn't mean though, that she wouldn't have to be black, does it? There's another girl at my work who is Muslim who is white (converted) - I don't even think she is married, and her whole family is against her - she wears the headscarf and everything. I don't think his family is Muslim at all ( to my knowledge - I think he is the only one, but I could be wrong). His facebook says a lot about keeping the black community together though - about the Black People. I think I am THE only white single female on his list of FB friends, although there is ONE interracial couple that I could see. He does not seem to be racist in the least in his interractions with people although he is pretty homophobic from what I've seen.

 

I think you need to just chill out and wait for an answer. If it doesn't happen it's not like your world will end. If he converted and he doesn't have an issue with you he may date you. But, you must remember that he converted and your lifestyle may not be compatible with the lifestyle he has chosen for himself. Many converts keep an open mind, but it doesn't mean that it works out. So, don't be disappointed if it doesn't work out. In regards to the scarf it's called a Hijab. In regards to wanting to keep the black community together, it could mean that he is only in to black women, or it could mean that he wants the black community to dig itself out of it's current hole. Either way, patience is really the only advice I can give.

 

Thanks, Luv. Anyway, I did tell him to check it (his FB), so either he will take the opportunity to go with me to the concert, or he won't! It was just my jumping out on a limb because he's so freaking shy. I didn't have anything to lose and I really did want someone to go with. I will go by myself regardless. People had heard me talking about it anyway. It's not like it was some huge secret. I really just wanted a chance to hang out with him outside of work - he's a great guy. I wanted to get to know him better. We'll see. If he doesn't at least pick up on my cues, then that's okay. I'll move on. I put it right on the table at least... I said "Question. Would you ever be caught dead in public with a white girl?" ...and then launched into my pitch. LOL

 

i am really feeling this new building i work in. the people i have meet are uncanny to what ive been accustom to over the past half decade while living in nor cal. I've really missed LA and really glad to be back, there is no other city like it! today i met the daughter of the executive producer of the new batman movies and a ton of older popular movies. while talking about productivity tools with his daughter one of the playboy internet women of the week interrupted us to make small talk with me. the next time i see charlize theron in the elevator i am going to tell her how much her acting has been a stimulating experience for me and i hope she finds a chocolate man of her dreams. :weedman:

 

Ummm... that sounds a little desperate and pathetic. However, desperate and pathetic can be very cute and endearing. So, lets hope it works out that way for you. If you have an extra ticket next time let me know. I'll go.

 

Congrats!!!

 

LOL luv... I followed it with saying something about his beliefs, so he would understand. Anyway, I had talked about the Rastafarian dude a little bit with him and he knew how upset I had been about him, so maybe he's like HELL NAW I ain't goin with that crazy broad lol. Anyway, he knows I'm strong on beliefs and respect beliefs, that's why I brought up the white chick thing in the first place. I prefer someone who has some sort of belief set - that is what draws me to Muslim men and Rasta men in the first place. Something I can sink my teeth into - and there are common elements - things that ground me to my faith as well. Commonalities that bring me back home. Anyway I remain true to myself by speaking my truth, and by asking him, I put the truth out there so anyway he knows I wish to have some sort of speaking relationship with him outside of work. I have not been overtly flirtatious with him, only respectful. He knows I am not some dumb or actually "crazy" broad. At least I hope.

 

Nope, you are crazy and he knows it. Just kidding. Well, good luck bro. I personally don't have any beliefs or faith. I don't believe in gods or unicorns. But, I think some people need a religion. So, I wish you the best with that and I am happy that it works for you. I also hope things workout for you and the muslim man.

 

Did you just call her bro? Lmaaoooo! Priceless.

 

I know right? I couldn't figure that one out. Anyway... pretty sure he is like WTF right now. I have never been so bold as to ask him to a concert and then leave my number and then say if he doesn't want to go to the concert we can just have coffee as friends. I'm serious about that. I just really like him as a person. We've been lunch friends at work for over a year. Ball is in his court - I am DONE.

This from a girl who will not call or text a man she likes EVER. Not for weeks and weeks and weeks upon penalty of death. I'm done. *slashes throat*

 

I work in a nice building too, overlooking the Wilshire corrider, but you have me beat by a country mile.

 

You dont believe in unicorns?????????

 

ok now I know FG has me on ignore. LOL. Great gif from Despicable Me.

 

LOL, nope - I have nobody on my ignore list.

 

Funny how some of you are treating this Micheal Sears motherfucker like he doesn't have a bald-faced agenda. Remind me to ask you all for your Social Security and credit card numbers the next time I'm in your town.

 

All bow and worship the fairest in the land. Holy fuck, does your ego have NO boundaries??????Most people don't like egomanics.

 

Which is what? Indulge me, please.
