Have you been looking for your perfect match online but were too hesitant to take the first step? Worry not! We sat down with a couple that met on MuzMatch – a Muslim dating app especially tailored for single Muslims looking for marriage instead of casual dating.
Arjumand & Ovais hadn’t had much luck finding the perfect partner until their paths crossed on Muzmatch. Scroll down have your questions answered related to dating apps & know their story.
1. Is An App Different Than Conventional Proposals?
Arjumand and Ovais feel a dating app is very different from a conventional proposal but has pros and cons. For instance, using an app to find a partner is time-saving and you have a lot of control over who you want to connect with. You also don’t have to go out and meet every person you connect with, you have the leverage of speaking to them and then deciding whether you want to proceed or not.
Another plus point would be that you dodge those dreadful rishta questions and awkwardness of that “first meeting” with random people.
However, the choices may overwhelm you, which could be a con. Also, you must also try to steer away from fake profiles when browsing on dating apps.
2. Any Apprehensions Before Visiting The App?
According to Arjumand, she looked at it like any other social media platform, however, she made sure to keep her pictures and name hidden until she felt she could trust someone. As for Ovais, he went through Muzmatch’s reviews before using it, which put his mind at ease.
3. How To Make Sure The Profile You Like Isn’t Fake
It all lies in the profile description, according to Ovais, if there aren’t many pictures and details, there is a high chance the profile is fake (major red flag). However, you can try to do a video call if things start getting serious and uncover details about them, like workplace, home, parents, and siblings.
MuzMatch also helps to verify profiles through 2 ways: Selfie picture verification and Gold members (don’t expect someone pays to keep fake profile unless a swindler).
4. Is Muzmatch For Everyone?
Arjumand and Ovais only recommend the app if your intentions are clearly specified and you have influence over your family to convince them for your spouse. Otherwise, it would be a waste of your time.
5. How Should You Exit A Conversation That Isn’t Going Right?
Don’t ghost people! If you don’t see a potential partner in the person you’re talking to, be clear and polite about it before ending the conversation. Don’t lead them on or blindside them.
6. How Many Profiles Did You Go Through Before You Found “The One”?
Surprisingly, Arjumand went through more than 100 profiles before she found Ovais. Ovais, on the other hand, seems to be a pro and he only went through 6 profiles before he found his perfect match!
7. Would Arjumand & Ovais Recommend Muzmatch?
Yes some of Ovais’ friends are still on the app. However, we would suggest you explore it on your own.
8. Do The Parents know?
Arjumand’s father still doesn’t know that she got married on a dating app but gradually she is feeling more comfortable letting more people in her life know more details!
9. Should You Wait For The Guy To Approach You?
Arjumand surprised us she told us that she was the one who slid into Ovais’ DMs and asked him why he was still single despite being so cute? Take notes, ladies, don’t be hesitant to take the first step!
10. How Long Did It Take To Decide She/He Was Your Perfect Match?
