Getting to know people online.
Salam sisters💞. Having done the second day challenge and reading the feedback on turning my trauma into boundaries, there is something that has been on my mind. I do not find getting to know someone online good for me, as it can easily go wrong. I have been thinking of making it a requirement for interested guys to actually come and get to know me with a mahram around me, face-to-face, to be able to properly gauge them and connect. I want direct online communication only when necessary and when no other means are available. Has anyone had such an experience, and what are your thoughts on this? It is very normalised to get to know someone for marriage just through chats or long phone and video calls, even without the parents being involved. In my view, marriage is a sacred form of worship, and disobeying Allah to get to marriage just does not make sense. I am aware that some people have a mahram in a GC to get to know the person or with the girl on a video call. What worries me about this is the availability of my contact with the guy and how easy it is for Shaytan to play games on people with small steps and ruin something that could have been pure, and for the sake of Allah.
