By Peter Ellis


It is so exciting to start a new relationship, but there are a few cultures out there who don't allow it. A few communities and cultures don't want their children in relationships. Arab American Dating isn't very popular in their communities as traditions and culture don't allow for it.

In America, going out on a date is seen as a normal part of growing up. The culture and acceptance of taking your girlfriend out on a date is seen as a positive thing to do. However, in the Arab culture going on a date is mostly frowned upon and seen as a shameful act against their family. Mostly because of what Hollywood has made it out to look like. The teenagers are always seem having sex on the first date as their goal.

In their culture boys have more freedom than girls do. Girls are not treated the same and can't do the same things as boys are allowed to do. Many people regard this behavior as being sexist against woman. Many families feel that they are not being sexist but just protecting their daughters and their reputations.

Hollywood has depicted that single people who start dating only want premarital sex and nothing long term. A relationship with these values don't last and prove that these partners are not fully invested to sticking to one person. In most cases these types of people don't stay long in a relationship.

Arab families need to look out for their daughters as an unplanned pregnancy could bring disgrace to their family. Some families don't have a problem with their sons having sex and they supply their sons with condoms. However, when it comes to their daughters wanting to have premarital sex, their parents forbid it.

In their culture you will find that they do treat their daughters a lot stricter than their sons. If their son comes to their parents and asked to go to a party they have no problem. When the daughter comes to the parents to ask if she can attend a party, the parents will interrogate her. Who will be there? What are you going to do there? She will be told she isn't allowed to drink there and will need to be home early.

In their community dating is just not an option. The families insist that their children need to first focus on getting their education done and then they can get married. When getting involved in a relationship while at university this could be a huge distraction and is not permitted. Family counselors within the community come around to families and educate them on the dangers of letting your children date.

It is traditions and culture to have arranged marriages. You bring shame and disgrace on your family if you engage in a relationship that has not been approved by the family. The younger generations of youth don't have the same views as the older generation. This sort of dating is starting has started increasing and slowing getting accepted than what it was in the past.
