Dear Massi, I am a 30- year-old female and have been looking to get married.

Unfortunately, there is no-one out there for me and my parents are no help either. I am not into dating or ‘seeing’ guys so Massi what is a woman like me to do.

My family are too preoccupied with their own lives. It has got me really depressed as I feel my life is going nowhere.

I have been introduced to some men but they were only interested in dating and going out. I can’t go through that. I wear a hijab, dress very modestly and consider myself pretty. I just want to meet someone normal. Is there any hope Massi? HY.

Massi Says, You might think you are alone but trust me you are not. And this is not the first time I have got a letter like this.

You want to meet people the Islamic way for which I respect you.

There are many Islamic websites where you can meet sincere people who are also searching for the right person.

You have to go into these things with an open mind though an not get disheartened about how people behave.

There are many Muslim men who are also not into ‘dating and going out’. So, it is important not to genaralise about these things.

I am concerned however at how your family is not looking for you. I think this is a wider issue for the Asian community as a whole. Many parents want their children to steer clear of western dating culture but then don’t take on the responsibility of finding suitable partners.

It is important not to feel down about this and keep thinking positive. Trust me there is a Mr Right for everyone!
