A Little Bit About Me
I’m pretty average and normal ;-)
And have one of those faces that grows on you once you get to know me, lol. I’m like that - honest, what you see is what you get, no game playing and appreciate the same in return too.
I’m wise enough to know that looks, appearances and all the superficial beautiful, perfect things aren’t always real, don’t necessarily make a great decent human being and definitely don’t equate to a good long lasting partnership, so I look beyond the surface of a person and with all my countless flaws (let’s face it, I’m not 20 now!), I hope to meet someone who also has depth and isn’t looking for a perfect Instagram trophy wife ;-)
(I was wise enough to know that in my teens, so it’s not an age-related epiphany by the way!)
Most people say it, but I really do have a balance of a lot of things...East/West, serious/fun, intelligence (in some form!)/silly, witty/deep etc etc. Faith, family, relationships, strangers are all important to me, as is trying to be a good, genuine, sincere, good hearted person. Laughing and banter, both in English and Urdu is the icing on the cake.
Like the usual things...travelling, learning about different people/cultures, a good Netflix/TV series, going for drives, chilling, adventure...and so on. Not a fitness, gym goer type but the idea of it is always good! However I like going for walks, and doing stuff...and have been looking for someone to try an adventure/assault course type place I’ve been wanting to go to! It would be nice to have that one person to enjoy different things with and share experiences, and I hope to meet someone where you can jump in a car and go for a drive because you just feel like it, or go somewhere new to walk around and explore or enjoy the views, but someone who you can just as easily enjoy a relaxed day at home with, go see family & friends with, or to the cinema or whatever takes our fancy on the day. Also think it’s important for people to have their own interests, hobbies, friends, space etc at times, but it all depends on who you meet and how it goes and what works well for each couple - one size doesn’t fit all.
I am far from perfect so if you’re after perfection, that’s not me, but if you want someone you can have a friend in, someone to have adventures with, have a laugh with, who’ll be genuine, caring, supportive, who’s chilled and easy to talk to, relatively normal but hopefully not boring, it might be good to chat.

What I Am Looking For
Hoping (praying!) to meet a relatively normal, decent, funny guy who also has a balance between things - not extreme either way.
One question many guys ask me is “40s...not married, why?” The answer is pretty simple - sometimes it’s just because you haven’t met a Muslim guy you’ve clicked with or you’ve met people and they’re too extreme on either side...and sometimes you meet ppl - they like you, you don’t feel the same or vice versa etc. Haven’t come across many muslim guys in my uni/working life either unfortunately and time flies...so here we are.
I’m looking for that guy who can balance faith with the world, family with fun, intelligence and humour etc. Someone who wants to meet a relatively normal person and build something together that has substance and isn’t just based on shallow things. If you can speak English and Urdu...bonus, if you can crack a joke in both, even better. If you’re as comfortable listening to a good Islamic talk as you are watching a superhero movie...wow ;-)
Based on past experiences, I don’t like to say it, but sadly, many Muslims I’ve come across are looking for flings, long/short term relationships, dating etc. - pls don’t contact me if that’s your thing. I’d like to meet someone, get to know them and build something real, for life, and that’s great and hopefully solid, through the highs and lows, in sha Allah.
