how are arabic men in relationships?
im totally clueless...oh and do you think i should even bother?

Answer 1

Answer: CAREFULLY. Forget that he is Arabic. You are talking about a romantic relationship with someone who is from a totally different country and culture, vastly different than our own. Even if he is not Islamic, he was raised in that culture, where values and customs are vastly different than ours. I would check things out thoroughly, and find out what his views are with regard to all the things that are important to you. Even within our own culture, it's not always easy to find someone compatible with our own unique personalities and value systems - let alone trying to find someone from a vastly different culture than our own. I am certainly not against dating an Islamic man. I just think for the sake of both of you, you both owe it to yourselves to check things out before pursuing things too much further. It sounds like you are trying to do just that. Best of luck to you. Hope it works out.

Answer 2

nicely i'm no longer any of those issues you suggested, yet i do no longer hate Arab women. i'm Canadian (that's North American, so in line with danger it counts), and that i detect many Arab women very proper. we've a great number of Arabs residing right here (uncertain of right numbers), and regularly they are purely like all and sundry else. that is complicated to confirm how Arab women look while they placed on those ninja-clothing with the masks, yet very few people placed on those right here. So it is not a actual element. it might desire to, besides the shown fact that, be a cultural element. The Arab international has been interior the information lots in the process the previous couple of a protracted time, and a great form of the time the information hasn't been sturdy. we've issues like the Islamic Revolution, a number of intense-profile assaults on the non-Muslim international, and maximum those days riots interior the streets over some idiotic YouTube video. specific Arab communities and persons have given the entire race an extremely undesirable image, and that i'm effective you comprehend who those communities and people are. every person is familiar with. while a white guy thinks approximately in line with danger relationship an Arab female, he right this moment wonders if he will stay to tell the story that inevitable first assembly together with her mum and dad. photos of 9/11, AK47 attack rifles, and burned-out embassy homes commence dealing together with his ideas, and he comes to a decision to ask somebody else out. i comprehend no longer all Arabs are terrorist supporters. i comprehend that is basically very few of them rather, and that i'm effective a great form of the image is with the help of media sensationalism. however the entire "death to the infidels" image makes it incredibly perplexing to think of of Arab people as general and rational beings, and that's purely how that's.

Answer 3

You should be careful with dating this race at this time. I would take it slow. I didn't use to be entrusting of everyone, but with so many trying to get into this country now, you want to be on your guards. I heard they were good lovers. I don't know if this is true or not but that's beside the point. Just be careful. I also know them to be great men to their women and they detest the way most men treat the women in the states. I had a friend that was Arab and he owned stores, shops ect... and he was very protective of me. He hated when he saw a guy that was up to no good trying to talk to me in his stores. They are so cute too.

Answer 4

OH LORD...well girl let me tell you about them. Experience-wise... I am half-arab and I am from Latin America.
Arab men are VERY possesive, sexist, controlling and it is either their way or the highway. They have that reputation, i know it because ALL of the guys that are arab that I have met are like that. That is why I think more than twice when I meet an arab guy to date because I know in what I am getting myself into. We have a very strong character. But, when they want something, they will do ANYTHING to get it. That's just their nature. And girl they WILL spoil you like crazy until they can have you. They love to spoil their woman. I am not being a hater, b/c I am half-arab, but I know how arab men are. I am not saying that all are like that, but from I have seen/meet/experince, that's how they are. I am also not trying to say that the guy you are dating is like that because he may not be...maybe in that country they are different...

Answer 5

If he treats you well, you should give him a chance. He understands you are American and are not in the same views he is. Arab men are actually really loyal and kind. I know an arab guy that is such a cheerful and great guy and he always tried to spoil me with whatever he could. He didn't have much money, but whatever he had he would spend it on me. I had to tell him to stop! lol. All he ever wanted to do was to please me and spend time with me.

It really depends on the man to be honest, but I wouldn't stereotype arab men in the negative. Give him a chance, he might surprise you.

Answer 6

Just because we are at war with these people doesnt mean they are all bad..I work with some everyday who are training our troops to go to war..Arabs treat their women VERY GOOD..they buy them anything they want, and etc etc..they take relationships seriously as well as marriage and such..however depending on the age and their exact religon some have more than one woman..you may wanna get to know this guy a little better and from there...follow your heart..if theres anything that seems suspicious back off of it

Answer 7

I am going to tell u story that is very close my best friend date a man who was from Lebanon with the sames culture and he was extremely controlling and brain washed her, he also was a very good manipulator. Our friendship ended because of him, he was very jealous and controlled every aspect of their relationship than she found out he was cheating, he still lied and manipulated and brain washed her and she did not leave him until she found out that he got a woman pregnant and the woman actually called her than she left the relationship and regret being with she said it was the worst thing to be so controlled and brain washed but she said when she was under her spill it was hard to see what he was doing until she left him and had time to realize everything. He almost made her convert which she did not want to because she is a strong christian but almost did for her. honey don't date them and if u have to ask this question than obviously you are not in love.

Answer 8

I would hate to classify every person you meet solely based on their nationality and religion. I presume he knows you aren't Islamic and that you don't intend to become Islamic. Does he want you to change your religion or dress differently or conduct yourself differently to accommodate him? If he wants to be your bf, is he planning to live in the U.S. or is he thinking you should move to Algeria? There are a lot of questions you need to be asking yourself and him. Another thing is that he's filled up your entire month with himself. "Moderation in all things" is a good thing. It simply means to find balance in your life. That applies to relationships too. I don't know how old you are or what you want out of life, but I suggest moving slowly on this. The cultural differences are many but that doesn't mean they're insurmountable. Just take your time to know him better and understand his motives before you decide to devote your life to him.

Answer 9

I would think an Arab would date an American woman the same as he would date anyone else. However, you don't sound convinced you want him. I'm sorry - you are going to have to make up your own mind on this one.

Answer 10

When Americans date "Arabs" (by the way, Moroccan/Algerian is NOT Arab) they always make sure to wear Tyvek suits to protect themselves from the dangerous biohazards contained in the partner.
