From Matchmaker Aunties to CLUB ISNA to Facebook DMs to Minder, we cover how American Muslims have traditionally "gotten to know each other" for dating & marriage. We cover mosque flirting (gasp), friends setting up friends, sliding into DMs, and so much more. Do you hate being called picky? Does the word "settle" upset you? Do you have standards (yes please)?
