The reality dating series "Muslim Matchmaker," produced by ABC News Studios, aims to assist Muslim American singles in finding long-term partners. Matchmakers Hoda Abrahim and Yasmin Elhady emphasize a thoughtful approach to dating, advocating for the 'Rule of Three': three dates in three months combined with 300 conversation prompts. The show seeks to dismantle stereotypes about Muslim singles, showcasing their diversity and modernity, particularly among first-generation Muslim Americans seeking committed relationships, unlike the casual dating prevalent in western cultures.
We don't want you to make a decision on somebody, whether it's, you want to move forward or you want to kind of pull away, before meeting them at least three times in person within a three-month time period.
I think people will be shocked to see that Muslims probably aren't what they thought we were.
Most of the people on the show are first generation Muslim Americans; the casual kind of dating style you find in the west doesn't really work for us.
We're looking for marriage and long-term relationships, which is fundamentally different from the swipe right culture.
