If you love Aalah and you feel that Islam is your thing, then I would suggest that you pray to Aalah to give you strength, wisdom and guidence. I would say let your courage guide you. I was raised in a religion that had moral restrictions too...a lot of people were just getting married to have sex and that is so lame to me. This way to them and the religios community it was "ok". How is that truly ok though when your heart is not in the right place. On the real, if the dude is your soul mate and your true love, you all could be virgins or celebate for the rest of your lives and it wouldn't matter. Yeah it might make you a little sad but you would get over it cause love is about more than sex. Sex is apart of it yeah, but not all of it. Things have not changed at all, if you are strong in your mind it does not matter what the people around you say and do, all that matters is what you feel is right in your heart with God. I was a virgin until I was 20 going on 21. I didn't have a open mouth kiss until I was 19 and that was my choice. I spoke with God and prayed and when I felt it was ok, I did what I did. You gotta do the same thing. I don't know if you are the kind of Muslim that's family does arranged marriages, but my friend was in that kind of family. I would say if that is the deal that you pray to the universe to send you the most loving, special, beautiful and supportive man for you. This way even if it is arranged, you will have the love of your life.
As far as judging how "religiously commited" someone is, you pray for the truth to be shown to you, and that you will have the wisdom and accaptence to trust what you see and feel. When you pray for this you always see the truth. Try it. Peace. [ asknava's advice column | Ask asknava A Question ]

you should know what islam says about dating and sex.
because thats what i believe and that is what i will tell you.
look, you cant have a boyfriend and shouldn't even be thinking about sex
don't listen to the other advice because that person isn't muslim and she doesn't know about what islam allows.
of course there are other things that teens have to go through and its not easy.
its really hard to become a really good muslim, but the great thing is that God apprieciates the effort. that's the most amasing thing! I am, and i will admit it, not the best muslim. I mean i wear a scarf and pray, but i sometimes lie and get angry. i am not perfect but i pray to God to make me better and help me become a better muslim! You have to remember that when you ask God to help you (ex. ask for strength) he gives you situations that you have to overcome (in order to get strong). I want you to ask me questions and i will help you. I want to help you become a better muslim!
do you wear a hijab? How often do you pray? Where do you live? how old are you? Do you know a lot of muslim teens? can you tell me more information and i will most definitly answer and help you in any problems you are facing. the only thing is that i need more information.
Go to www.islamcan.com (it has answers to common teen questions and other things)
People have helped me to become a better muslim and i want to help you!
