Is dating illegal in Dubai? Mar 06, 2008
I noticed all dating sites are blocked. no dating forums or chatrooms available. so .... !!!???

What does a single person need to do to date a non-player real person here in dubai?

I'm a non arab mature girl, hate bar scenes or cheap pick-up places, don't speak arabic and not sure if it's possible to meet a non-arab here!!

Other question: why so many married men look for a girlfriend here? Is married life so terrible in UAE, or they are just pure animals?

You can tell by my questions that I'm new in Dubai, shocked and wishing to go back every single day!

any thoughts on my questions?

well, where I came from wasn't this bad and I thought it was awful.

I know it's the same everywhere on earth, but some people have peace in certain places and not all. That's why I think of or hoping to return soon.

and to other response: I know i've been looking in wrong places, but what is right?!

Lets just say where I came from, is not middle east. and it rains and rains and rains....
But the sunshine in Dubai hasn't been enough reason for me to stay.

I guess i will spend my life discovering the world again ;-)

P.S. why does it matter anyway?!

hmmm am guessing you from england then :P

to be honest with you, you wont find your non-player guy on a chat room or on a forum or maybe :P. you are more likely to find him out there in the real world. in your office or probably at a car park or you might bump into him in the lift. so keep on looking you will find him. and hey dubai has many other reasons to stay apart from sunshine and a partner ;).

Hi Mishi,
welcome to dubai :wink:
Well, as i'm new in this country as well as you are, me too found life here is not comfortable and feel not good for a first look
but, because itsn't my first time to travel to a foriegn country so may be i do fine till now with all this changes i find here and feel.
for dating subject, its not something for legal or illegal its regarding the arabic community habits and the ISP is who blocking these web sites when the another ISP (DU) is not block any.
So, if you are interesting in dating and have new friends it's matter of time and try to take a look about the city and hang up with your work collegues may be as my friends here said you may find someone be near or clsoe to you.
NOTE: for the arab pplz here and the national pplz married or not, may be they attract to you as any other guy from any nationality what ever married or not, so plz not becuase they are arab so they will be ANIMALS, am I right!
good luck and wish to you good stay @ Dubai

Hey Mishi,

Yes it's ridiculous that dating websites are blocked, yet you can go out and find a wife/husband at the drop of a hat.

Try something like Table For Six, you can look it up on the net.

Dating in this country is a mine field, and blokes here can be a nightmare, especially men from certain countries who feel it's ok to harrass you on FB, Myspace or whatever. Clubs and bars are not good places to meet decent people.

Find some nice dinner parties, join some clubs or groups to widen your horizons.

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts with me.
I'm still in the 3-months zone, and I guess that's where the problem is. I'm hoping to feel more at home after a while. Of course, I'm doing my best to get to know the city - including reading different postings in this forums...

cheers.

I have to add to this thread, something a person recently moved to Dubai told me.

For someone who has never been here before it seems like what they see in the media gives this false impression of the city and they come in with very high expectations. So in the first months not only do you have to deal with being homesick, lonely, etc .. but also you have to deal with this huge disappointment that the dubai you saw on tv is not the same as the one you are living in now. I think this is amplified if you are here on a low salary that doesn't give you the chance to live the glamorous lifestyle that you imagined you would have here. Eventually things will be alright though :)

Yep, you're still in the period of adjustment, and you'll get over it (sooner the better).As one of DF's well known zealot said..

Take advantage of the fusion of cultures you see in Dubai, different nationalities, languages, food and social norms.

I have felt the same thing........cultural shock. Dubai lacks quality ppl. Social scene aint the same like in Western countries so you have to get used to it. This country has double standards.... dating sites are blocked but walk down the bookstore and you find "Why do men love bitches".
"Mein Kampf" and "Positions to hit the **-spot".


Well i am new here and found few cool ppl to hang out.

i think.. because dubai is a conservative country and has an image to take care of.. that's why they also make some news black out if there is a bad news about dubai.. hhmm..
