Finding a good mate for their children is very important for Arab families. That has not changed over the years. How Arabs are allowed to date differs per region. The focus is on protecting the virtue of the women. Their reputation is very important. Nowadays Arab dating is possible through internet.

Traditionally a man brings gifts to his future wife when he comes to visit. In the Gulf regions people with a serious relationship will sign a contract with each other. Men depend on their female relatives to help them find a partner. The family will not allow the women to go on dates before they get married. People in these regions believe firmly in arranged marriages. They respect this because family is very important to them.

In this culture when a woman is dating she will usually keep that a secret in order to protect her reputation and the reputation of her family. They do not take shame lightly. If a woman does something that is considered shameful or embarrassing, it will not only affect her but also her complete family. Being conservative is important in order to find someone to marry. If a woman has a bad reputation of going out with different men it will become difficult to get married. In order to have a good reputation her behavior is of great importance.

They honor virginity in the Arabian culture and a lot of women want to keep their virginity until they are married. This way they want to reflect the honor of their family. Many men in women in these countries who are dating are having sexual activities but they avoid having intercourse.

When a woman is living in Western countries they can easily have dates. Some of them even date men who have other beliefs. At work and in school they can have interactions with more men. Sometimes Arab women do get married to people of other culture, but this is not common. Women have more freedom in Western societies but they still choose to keep their dates secret.

With the help of their friends and using the internet it is possible to meet new people. However the parents prefer to be involved in the relationships of their children. They go out of their way to organize events where they can invite potential partners to come and meet their children. It is important for them to monitor the situation.

When it comes to the choice of a partner for their child, parents in Arabic cultures are very involved. Because it is forbidden to go on dates in their countries they feel the need to know who their child is dating. When their daughter is going on a date they may even send someone of the family to go with her and keep an eye on the process.

Virtue, reputation, respect and family are not the only important things in their culture. Education is also a very important aspect when one is going out with Arabic women. Having a degree will give you an advantage when you want to date Arabic women, because the family considers education as a way of securing the future for their daughter.
