hello beautiful sisters. i've always asked people irl this question and no one can answer this for me. how will i find a husband when it is haram to date???? i'm not going to have an arranged marriage as my parents do not want that for me.

but they're also strict on dating (even though they dated???). i asked a brother at the masjid who was my teacher and he told me as long as no sexual contact is made it's okay/if they're muslim it's fine. so what is the truth lol i'm so confused???
