We always love hearing the success stories of couples that met their soul mate on ArabLounge. We’re delighted to share with you the story of Samia & Ramez.

Dear ArabLounge,

 

Yes…it truly was an amazing experience. After so many helpless & hopeless ‘hook ups’ of aunts & uncles or friends & cousins who know someone who knows someone…we found each other on Arablounge.com!

 

I often wondered if my counterpart existed. Someone who was born & raised with the same culture, traditions, & values that I was raised believing and trusting…someone who wanted to uphold and respect the expectation set by our Parents & Grandparents but wanted autonomy and the ability to ‘find’ that person on our own…on our own accord. Someone who understood my contemporary & traditional personality and characteristics…

 

I saw his picture on a profile and he was wearing a t-shirt that said, ‘Define Girlfriend.’ I laughed hysterically & thought it was brilliant; so I e-mailed him. He e-mailed me back with his phone number and the rest is history. I was destined to be with this man for the rest of my life…and he felt the same way.
