I am a practicing Shia Muslim (wear hijab, don't drink, pray 5 times a day, observe Muharram, etc), however, I do not describe myself as religious or conservative. I am open-minded about religious practice and belief. I have liberal views on social and political issues, especially regarding gender and sexuality.
I don't have a list of qualities I'm looking for. Meeting your "match" has a lot of do with chemistry and how your personalities mesh. Those are things you can really only tell by meeting in person. I am an introverted person, so I am looking for my social opposite - an outgoing and extraverted person; a good communicator; someone who likes to talk. I was raised in the US so my outlook is based on that background. My potential partner having Islamic knowledge from both a spiritual and academic perspective is important to me. If you describe yourself as a feminist, then you have my attention.
As mentioned above, I'm introverted and attracted to people who are social and talkative. I love eating out/trying new foods, movies (all kinds, especially indie films), being outdoors (hiking, parks). I keep up with politics and current events - especially concerning Islamophobia, Black Lives Matter, feminism, education, and other issues of social justice. If you're also interested in those topics, it would be nice to hear from you!
