  • Overreliance on indirect messaging often causes missed opportunities or inappropriate impulsive behavior.
ADVICE

Always Seek Permission First

  • Seek permission before speaking to a sister by approaching her wali, a mutual contact, or politely asking her directly.
  • Keep distance and ask briefly if you may speak for a couple of minutes to show respect and seriousness.
ADVICE

Be Direct And Succinct

  • Get straight to the point when you speak: state clearly that you're interested in marriage and want to meet families.
