In this episode, I explored the Muslim dating scene. I discussed the various dating apps available, including Minder, Single Muslim, Pure Matrimony and Muzmatch as well as my experience which I described as 'bloody awful' due to the prevalence of lewd behavior. I also shared my experiences of being catfished, encountering people who were lying about their relationships, and even someone who was married but looking for another relationship on the apps.
