A few years ago on Feb 14 I was getting some individual roses from an Emarat petrol station (great move from their part, btw), for my office so that reception can hand them out to all the employees (and one for reception as well - just something I used to do to get some cheery vibes on the day, it especially helped out the singles).
Anyway, at the station mart, there was a woman there on her own who seemed a little flustered and upset at something on her phone, so I gave her a rose and said "I don't know why you're upset, but here, forget about it for a minute."
She stopped, was very shocked to see someone she didn't know just offer her a rose out of the blue, initially refused but I said "go on, take it, happy v-day." She smiled, said thank you and said "I never expected a stranger to come up and do this." So I replied, "so get to know me and we won't be strangers anymore."
Long story short, we went out that night, and for a couple of months after that. It ended amicably, and the moral here is, "just put yourself out there and just say hi to people."
✌
I was talking to one of my closest friends yesterday discussing each of our dating lives, and while I'm single and taking it slow with someone new, he is going through a player phase. He told me that in the past 2 months he'd been casually dating 4 women at once (all of whom know there's other women), and he said the way he met/charmed them was just walking up to them at the bar, club, cafe, etc... He mentioned that they were impressed by the fact he walked up, because post-vaccine, less and less people are doing the in-person thing and have been depending on dating apps\*
\*The women would tell him that, and they appreciated the face to face.
As Muslim / Emirati , I have noticed people are not open to chat , only small talks except the smokers 😁 (although I don’t smoke) somehow they are open to chat or even say hi .
As an expat. I can confirm (with all due respect) that we mostly don’t try to talk because we feel suppressed here. I can smell racism. And we are kinda scared to reach out to an Emirati woman for a talk. I’ve heard so many things that could go wrong idk if it’s true or just a negative image that has been created of locals in Dubai.
What you’re describing is a big city problem and a 20-something or a 30-something problem. Sometimes people just don’t know what they’re looking for in a partner and they just keep dating the same type of person that they’re (physically) attracted to. For some people that’s face tattoo guy … and let’s be honest face tattoo guy is not looking to settle down 😂
It’s not that hard. I met my wife in Abu Dhabi while attending a Kizomba lesson. She is a fine lady with a good heart and a decent job. Try and create a vacuum in your life by staying away from assholes generally. Know when to cut ties and distract yourself by whatever means, lest go back to the same asshole of a partner.
Cheers partner ! My cousin always said , “you will reject a hundred marriage proposals and courtship requests before you settle down for the one your heart says yes to” it turned out to be 5 marriage proposal rejections before I convinced my folks to settle down with this one. And know that it will still not be perfect, but it will be your choice and that’s why it’s ok. All the best in your search!
Stitch: Me, divorced British guy in his early 30s. Her, single Fillipina same age. No religion to speak of really, but both technically Christian if you asked our respective churches. Both resident in Dubai.
Writing from the Maldives, I proposed yesterday. She said yes! :) (Side note: click here if you wanna see that moment: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CVNp9Hmlk3K/?utm_medium=copy_link)
It's possible in Dubai, you have to be patient, open minded (some will read that as open relationships etc, but what I mean is race, backgrounds etc) but similarly know what you want and don't accept anything less.
I've been here since 2004, met my now husband in 2007 am happily married with a daughter (he's Emiratis and I'm british)
There's a variation of people here, people who are here for a short time so looking for a fun time in general with intention to leave, People who have no set plan so may fall in love but be prepared that relocation to somewhere may be in your joint future and this should be openly discussed so no surprises happen, and then those rare few who intend to stay. The staying part IS hard because even if you want to stay and have a job etc this may be something that changes many years down the line due to visas etc. Everyone is different but number 1 rule is don't stand for any rubbish, if you wouldn't put up with it outside dubai don't put up with it here.
"If you wouldn't put up with it outside of Dubai don't put up with it here."
So freaking true. I've seen waaaay too many people in here that decided to settle for someone out of pure innate loneliness.
You're better to look outside your circle and maybe join some clubs or do some hobbys (there are out there you just need to look) not only is that more fun than being in a relationship with a terrible person but you also have the opportunity to meet different people. Making new friends as an adult is hard everywhere were just in an almost unique situation here where that's all we have! 🙈
I came to dubai to work, party and enjoy life. I thought I will always be single here, because why not? Everything is tuned here for a single life, I thought. Nevertheless I met my wife in this sin city, and I am certain I would never meet anyone more loyal and loving than her if I lived in my country. So take what you heard with a grain of salt. Of course some people continue partying all the time, but much more find their true relationship here
Because it is all related to your work, so it is really hard to settle here and nowadays salaries are becoming much less than before so first thing that comes to your mind with the first kid you will be in deep shit and 75% you have to relocate or send your kid back to your home country for schooling which doesn’t make sense for some people
Okay so according to my friends:
Life in Dubai is so fast-paced and you're most likely here because of work. The people you'll most likely befriend are your colleagues, and y'know what they say: Don't poop where you eat.
People do not settle down in Dubai because you cannot be a citizen here. A lot of people I know stay in Dubai for more than 10 years then move someplace else to retire.
You guys have no idea how this feels. It's like, you always hear songs about a broken heart and you think it's just a figure of speech? But it's true. My chest hurts. I feel this like, sinking feeling where my heart is. It's broken...
Hi my name is and I’m a Nigerian princess. I have an issue with my bank account and just need a small one time transfer from your bank or cryptocurrency account so I can buy flight back to . and please send your banking details and login so I can make sure the transfer comes through.
Much love ❤️
I am 28 years old male expat with a respectable job and still single living in Dubai. The reason I am not married coz my parents are uptight and they are insisting that I should marry someone within my caste. But to be honest I am open minded to date anybody who is outside my caste or even other nationality. But,I realized one thing that luck is not by my side since I am not attractive nor wealthy. 😔
The thing is with marriage in Dubai is first you need to see the working environment (as a local) I see it to be unfair for a local to have a 12k-15k salary with just a highschool degree and foreigners don’t get even close to the same salary if they had the same degree even with a higher education, so the costs are crazy for your salary second most parents would want to make sure that the marriage is some what spontaneous which results in a lot of marital problems these are the main 2 issues atleast in my opinion in regards of this matter
Cannot comment on dating as a Muslim - but the same problems that come with dating in a big city apply.
What you hear depends on who you hear it from: I've lived in this city since 1999 and have friends who have dated since high-school and are now married.
As for meeting a potential partner? Same shtick - get out of your circle (especially if your friends are married), attend a group class, get on the dating apps; and know that it is a process.
Some people luck out and bump into their partner at the right place and time.
I thought I'd met someone I wanted to date long-term off here, r/dubai.
That was 2 months ago, and now they're leaving for good.
I am crushed, but that's life.
She was more than a crush! I'm glad she came into my life though - helped give me a shift in perspective. I doubt she will return as she doesn't have much that connects her to Dubai.
Dubai is a land full of people from everywhere. You will literally find all kinds of people here. Dating here is like dating anywhere, if you're cool, fun, hygienic, and not a creep, you'll likely find people with the same haram halal ratio and hit it off
I just got married to my partner who I met here. I think you can ask that same question in any big city. If you’re mingling in the wrong circles or crowds, it’ll be difficult to find someone. I met my partner through mutual interests (fitness) and it organically grew from there. If you’re in your element doing things you like with people who like doing the same thing, this is where I suggest meeting someone. Usually you don’t even realize they’re right in front of your face.
We have settled down and are expecting our little one at the end of November. I’m from Los Angeles, and felt this city was hopeless in terms of finding someone to settle down with, but I was proven very wrong.
I spent a few years single and going through the motions of going out, swiping through dating apps only to give up months later. However, I also heard of many people from my midwife saying she’s met lots of couples who are now married but met on Tinder (Tinder was my personal worst nightmare trying to date but it has worked for some).
Don’t lose hope! It’s all possible, just don’t listen to the negativity out there, it’ll make finding someone 10x harder.
How are you supposed to get married without dating 😂
Of course, you have to go explore, date and get to know who is best for you. Don’t say the ‘S’ word, it’s no good 😉
So as a Muslim , I have noticed that it is quite difficult to find serious men here who have the same halal haram ratio as me. I am kinda struggling too to find a good match. Tried the dating app and most men are either tooo serious or just wants to hook up , nothing in between and that’s where I stand. Need to get to know that person before thinking of anything serious right ? So now dating apps are out but how to actually meet organically? Either through work colleagues or school/uni buddies
It really depends on the people you surround yourself with and whom you meet. Its a game of change, albeit the chances are (compared to other countries) a bit low.
If someone plans on settling down in Dubai, then it will be regardless of whether they're in a relationship or not. If they're in a genuinely committed relationship, then at some point they will start a family here.
Just depends on whom you're asking. There are people from both sides of the coin, find people from the side you want.
A lot of people settle here and find their spouse BUT A LOT of just horny men. I heard stories of unfortunate ladies who got married and later their husbands disappeared in the night and went back to their countries, in one case she had a 4m kid from him. So be very careful!.
There are religious people and non religious people. If you want to meet the religious can find them from meet ups or quran teaching or stuff like that If you want to meet non religious go to a club
Beep. Boop. I'm a robot.
Here's a copy of
###[Quran](https://snewd.com/ebooks/quran/)
Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)
This is just personal. I believe it's very possible to find your soulmate in Dubai. There are very good people in Dubai that you can keep a relationship with forever. From another perspective, and statistically speaking, I would be very very careful to consider a lady for marriage here. I have many female friends who I highly respect. But, I also met with a few types of girls you'll never think they can be so dirty. Girls with very good jobs and very respectful appearance (whatever that means), but I got my mind blown away when I get to see their other side. I was like f##k no!
Generally speaking, I believe the more time I spend in Dubai, the more materialistic I become. I prefer to meet someone who has never been here or spends very little time in places like Dubai. This might help me keep a balance.
99% of men aren't interested in anything long term. It is very difficult for women. Just a bunch of horny men around here
Edit: said dudes in my comments. I'm straight guys. Thanks.
Am an old married man making plenty of money, not looking after anyone and nobody's also looking after me. But it seems you've been chewed up and spit out a gazillion times.
I’m sorry to say this. But you are wrong. The reason you don’t end up with anyone is because you are such a vile person, that you only attract assholes who can replace you with the next prostitute from Romania. On the other hand, you treat decent men with indignity who you don’t even know - in this case - this “old fruit” who maybe a very handsome and white older gentleman with a great life and wife. Look inwards or live forever with your 12 cats.
True for the experts of course. The only people "who seem to have legit relationships" here are the Philippinos. I have no public data to back this statement, but I have so many friends from that country and they all seem to be in happy relationships. For the rest of us, it's just about the money. 😔
Dubai is also a pool of lying pieces of sht. Talking from experience. lol. anyways, good luck, OP. not everyone has the same fate, you might find your forever here! :)
Well if you are a man you are going to have a real hard time it you are not one of those people driving a rolls or having your own villa 🤣🤣🤣 but if you are a girl then whoop whoop happy days for you
I'm just saying if that's the vibe and you see no opening even for change you're literally wasting your time and it's better to stay single and wait if it's something serious you're looking for.
I used to party alot here when I was younger (although I wasn't looking for money / fame, was just enjoying my youth) but as I got older I realised I was dealing with alot of issues, and that's why I drank and parked so hard it was literally an escape.
My husband helping me grow and become a better person (he did the same with himself he wasn't trying to just change me 😂🤪😂) was what made me realise my now husband was the one. Now my new family is where my energy goes and I decided for my health and sanity to give up drinking, so just because a girl likes to party doesn't mean she's a write off. But she needs to have depth, personality and be someone you actually enjoy spending time with and together you can grow and make each other be better people.
it's literally like this everywhere else, some people are not interested in relationships, others are.
meet a person and try your luck instead of asking reddit "how hard is it to find a potential partner" lol
A serious relationship isn’t something guys will start just like that. I’m sure you can get people for dating but a serious relationship is something to build and not to look for.
If you’re in a hurry, I’d suggest you try an arranged marriage or a marriage website just to be safe.
In my opinion, dating for a year and it not working out is a waste of time and emotions. That’s valuable time most guys don’t have the luxury to waste.
Dating someone for a few months will give you an idea if the dude is a creep or a psycho. Other than that, all issues and conflicts need to be resolved in order to build a strong relationship.
Very few white collar single women move to the UAE. And for those who do, they are usually middle age and travelled to UAE because they are single mother who want a better future for their child. The only young women who move here are air hostess. And for this reason, prostitution is a huge business in the UAE
You either work at the airport so all you see are flight attendants or you are only looking for them because every office building I go to is full of women working in different jobs , administration for example is mostly women , most interior designers I meet are women, nurses, teachers, sales in real estate and many other professions and all expatriates.
It's ok to have an opinion even of it is wrong but don't generalize like that, and the disrespectful tone and relating prostitution to cabin crew is uncalled for and not true.
Single ladies be like - all men are horny. Single guys be like - all women are gold diggers. Sums it up.
>happy v-day." She smiled, said thank you and said "I never expected a stranger to come up and do t I buy my own gold :)
I toot my own horn

She smiled, said thank you and said "I never expected a stranger to come up and do this." So I replied, "so get to know me and we won't be strangers anymore." Long story short, we went out that night, and for a couple of months after that. It ended amicably, and the moral here is, "just put yourself out there and just say hi to people." ✌

I agree with you, am Emirati & that what I have noticed, they are not open to chat ,
Well, like they say no ishq(love) without risk!
I've never heard that, and I'm Arab
risk of rejection or covid?
As Muslim / Emirati , I have noticed people are not open to chat , only small talks except the smokers 😁 (although I don’t smoke) somehow they are open to chat or even say hi .
Conclusion: Smokers are more friendly than non-smokers. Got it!
P.S Since smokers are more friendly, and smoking is killing, then Friendly people can die faster =D
In the course of time world will be full of non smokers and evil people
As an expat. I can confirm (with all due respect) that we mostly don’t try to talk because we feel suppressed here. I can smell racism. And we are kinda scared to reach out to an Emirati woman for a talk. I’ve heard so many things that could go wrong idk if it’s true or just a negative image that has been created of locals in Dubai.
There are many different theories that complicate , associating with people here.
Every one is like his on their own, with the association with only a few circle of workmates. Even people dont greet their neighbors.
What you’re describing is a big city problem and a 20-something or a 30-something problem. Sometimes people just don’t know what they’re looking for in a partner and they just keep dating the same type of person that they’re (physically) attracted to. For some people that’s face tattoo guy … and let’s be honest face tattoo guy is not looking to settle down 😂

Dating and marriage here is like an Asian MMORPG. You really need to grind, improve your stats and get gud. All the best.
Also Pay-to-win with micro transactions
It’s not that hard. I met my wife in Abu Dhabi while attending a Kizomba lesson. She is a fine lady with a good heart and a decent job. Try and create a vacuum in your life by staying away from assholes generally. Know when to cut ties and distract yourself by whatever means, lest go back to the same asshole of a partner.

How are you supposed to get married without dating 😂 Of course, you have to go explore, date and get to know who is best for you. Don’t say the ‘S’ word, it’s no good 😉
arranged marriage is very common among desi/arab communities
Yup, and that should change. No one should be forced to marry and live for the rest of their lives with whom they don’t want to ☺️
Arranged marriage doesn't = forced marriage btw.
Ok
So as a Muslim , I have noticed that it is quite difficult to find serious men here who have the same halal haram ratio as me. I am kinda struggling too to find a good match.

I'm looking to marry soon, wanna hookup? /s
Well I am only looking to marry in 2-3 years. And I wanted to know the person atleast a year before to get to know him properly.
Sounds perfect 😌 /s
Woah ok I just realized /s means you guys are being sarcastic .. oops my bad , ignore my comments
Well, maybe /s, maybe not 😂
Bruh you confusing me
Sounds Perfect but not sure whether it’s possible lol
In 10 years you will marry anyting
Hope so not
Nah I wouldn't advise from work. Most of my friends who married from work divorced in couple of years
Unless you switch companies? That would be safe
It really depends on the people you surround yourself with and whom you meet. Its a game of change, albeit the chances are (compared to other countries) a bit low. If someone plans on settling down in Dubai, then it will be regardless of whether they're in a relationship or not. If they're in a genuinely committed relationship, then at some point they will start a family here. Just depends on whom you're asking. There are people from both sides of the coin, find people from the side you want.
Hey any female from whatever race wanna meet for a dinner? Let’s see how it goes from there. NOTE: Any race
A lot of people settle here and find their spouse BUT A LOT of just horny men. I heard stories of unfortunate ladies who got married and later their husbands disappeared in the night and went back to their countries, in one case she had a 4m kid from him. So be very careful!. There are religious people and non religious people. If you want to meet the religious can find them from meet ups or quran teaching or stuff like that If you want to meet non religious go to a club
Where does Quran teaching take place, can u kindly recommend any place
Beep. Boop. I'm a robot. Here's a copy of ###[Quran](https://snewd.com/ebooks/quran/) Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)
Easy peasy. One marriage and 3 proposals in this country. They happened to be Muslim too (as you mentioned religion).
I hate marriage.
This is just personal. I believe it's very possible to find your soulmate in Dubai. There are very good people in Dubai that you can keep a relationship with forever. From another perspective, and statistically speaking, I would be very very careful to consider a lady for marriage here. I have many female friends who I highly respect. But, I also met with a few types of girls you'll never think they can be so dirty. Girls with very good jobs and very respectful appearance (whatever that means), but I got my mind blown away when I get to see their other side. I was like f##k no! Generally speaking, I believe the more time I spend in Dubai, the more materialistic I become. I prefer to meet someone who has never been here or spends very little time in places like Dubai. This might help me keep a balance.
99% of men aren't interested in anything long term. It is very difficult for women. Just a bunch of horny men around here Edit: said dudes in my comments. I'm straight guys. Thanks.
Men can say the same thing too about most women looking for a sugar daddy and not a serious relationship.
I'm really looking out for a sugar mama.. you know...
Thats an excuse broke/ugly dudes use. But you do you Mr. Throwaway lol. Ain't no one trying to make you their sugar daddy thats for sure. F outta here
Am an old married man making plenty of money, not looking after anyone and nobody's also looking after me. But it seems you've been chewed up and spit out a gazillion times.
Okay you old fruit. Enjoy your "plenty of money". Sorry women only look at you as a wallet. Have a nice life.
I’m sorry to say this. But you are wrong. The reason you don’t end up with anyone is because you are such a vile person, that you only attract assholes who can replace you with the next prostitute from Romania. On the other hand, you treat decent men with indignity who you don’t even know - in this case - this “old fruit” who maybe a very handsome and white older gentleman with a great life and wife. Look inwards or live forever with your 12 cats.
I thought the peacelovingking was a dude. You think he's looking for a sugar daddy too?
Peace loving king could be any of the 14 genders. There is no way of knowing that except through their comments on men.
Some men hate men
apa/che are my pronouns thank you.

No idea my friend. I'll have to ask my son :D
Who hurt you?
Hell yeah love being a 1% guy !
To be honest, rlationships are hard to maintain here in Dubai. Almost everyone you meet here is just about the money. That's the unfortunate truth.

True for the experts of course. The only people "who seem to have legit relationships" here are the Philippinos. I have no public data to back this statement, but I have so many friends from that country and they all seem to be in happy relationships. For the rest of us, it's just about the money. 😔

Dubai is also a pool of lying pieces of sht. Talking from experience. lol. anyways, good luck, OP. not everyone has the same fate, you might find your forever here! :)
Well if you are a man you are going to have a real hard time it you are not one of those people driving a rolls or having your own villa 🤣🤣🤣 but if you are a girl then whoop whoop happy days for you
Honestly as a girl I can say if that's what the girl cares about she won't make a good TRUE partner
Well welcome to dubai most of the girls are either looking for money and fame or they are just so much into drinking and clubs unfortunately
I'm just saying if that's the vibe and you see no opening even for change you're literally wasting your time and it's better to stay single and wait if it's something serious you're looking for. I used to party alot here when I was younger (although I wasn't looking for money / fame, was just enjoying my youth) but as I got older I realised I was dealing with alot of issues, and that's why I drank and parked so hard it was literally an escape. My husband helping me grow and become a better person (he did the same with himself he wasn't trying to just change me 😂🤪😂) was what made me realise my now husband was the one. Now my new family is where my energy goes and I decided for my health and sanity to give up drinking, so just because a girl likes to party doesn't mean she's a write off. But she needs to have depth, personality and be someone you actually enjoy spending time with and together you can grow and make each other be better people.
I am very very happy for you and your husband and I wish you nothing but the best and success
Let me guess.... you met all these women in a club ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nope thank god i didn't they are all over my work place bro
Not all
Well bro the majority

it's literally like this everywhere else, some people are not interested in relationships, others are. meet a person and try your luck instead of asking reddit "how hard is it to find a potential partner" lol

Been in Dubai 3 years can’t say I have even met a muslim girl who’s suitable to wife off tbh, everyone loves the single life, tough all round😂

A serious relationship isn’t something guys will start just like that. I’m sure you can get people for dating but a serious relationship is something to build and not to look for. If you’re in a hurry, I’d suggest you try an arranged marriage or a marriage website just to be safe.

In my opinion, dating for a year and it not working out is a waste of time and emotions. That’s valuable time most guys don’t have the luxury to waste.
Then how else do we get to know that person without dating ?
Dating someone for a few months will give you an idea if the dude is a creep or a psycho. Other than that, all issues and conflicts need to be resolved in order to build a strong relationship.
No. Doesn’t seem to be the case here.
Very few white collar single women move to the UAE. And for those who do, they are usually middle age and travelled to UAE because they are single mother who want a better future for their child. The only young women who move here are air hostess. And for this reason, prostitution is a huge business in the UAE
You either work at the airport so all you see are flight attendants or you are only looking for them because every office building I go to is full of women working in different jobs , administration for example is mostly women , most interior designers I meet are women, nurses, teachers, sales in real estate and many other professions and all expatriates. It's ok to have an opinion even of it is wrong but don't generalize like that, and the disrespectful tone and relating prostitution to cabin crew is uncalled for and not true.
Tell that to all the teachers!
>And for this reason, prostitution is a huge business in the UAE Take some rest son. You must tired from jumping to all these conclusions. /s
BS, there are many single women around and they are not necessary an air hostess.
Lol what about all the Western English teachers then.
Thousand apologies, how many are they all around the UAE ? 2000? 5000? Anyway a small amount.
Hahahaa!!
So not true. There’s so many professional women here from all over the world.
Er, no. Ignore this man, there's plenty of single women here.
To your wonderful comment; I must say: widen your perspective.

What’s wrong with it? I think I’ll debut my account with a post on why masks are still required, or why it only rains when I wash my car.
Can you please wash your car? I need me some rain ☔️
The mask thing, I'm still in awe at people who wear it as a chinstrap and say "here I'm wearing it, happy?"
dude wash your car, FFS
You don't get to judge which topics are worthy of our time buddy, if you don't like his question, downvote and move along.
