DATING

EGYPTIANS DON'T DATE. IF A GUY SEES A GIRL HE LIKES HE GOES TO MEET
HER PARENTS, THEN THEY INVESTIGATE HIS BACKGROUND (AND HE HERS) TO
SEE IF THEY WOULD BE A GOOD MATCH SOCIOLOGICALLY. THEN THEY GET
ENGAGED. EVEN THEN, THEY CANNOT GO OUT ALONE. THE GUY HAS TO PAY
FOR HER SISTER OR FRIEND (THEIR CHAPERONE). THEY DON'T KISS UNTIL
AFTER THEY'RE MARRIED. SOME BRIDES DON'T EVEN SEE THE GROOM UNTIL
AFTER THE WEDDING CEREMONY.
