I'd like to thank everyone who interacted with my last post. I know reddit isn't always the best solution, but I shall leave no stone unturned.

Brief intro (optional):

Here are a few things about me to get started:

1. I'm divorced without kids so let's get that out of the way.

2. Yes I am a Shia, not born but by belief. So open to both Shia and Sunni prospects.

3. I don't really care if you have vitiligo, diabetes, BP, Epilepsy, or some condition as long as you're a good, kind, sweet, caring, loving, supportive and an understanding person.

4. I love music, beaches, travelling and fun discussions.

5. I respect all of mankind, unless they are an absolute piece of garbage, and I believe in equality.

6. I try to be a good person, to always provide a listening ear, to be there however I can, unconditionally.

7. I vape, but smoke extremely rarely.

8. I respect women, and will do so till the day I die.

9. I am looking for a partner, to build a home together, to love and care for each other till death parts us. To build a safe environment where we can be ourselves our own lives, our own world (even if we will be living with my family: parents and brother).

10. I would actually genuinely want to know the person first and the person to know me first as well.

11. Above is obviously just the tip of the iceberg, but I hope we can form an understanding and then involve families.

12. My family knows tbat I'm here and I'm looking.

13. I have tattoos.

14. I'm quite chill, laid back, easy going and flexible

I would definitely like to get to know you better and would like you to get to know me better.

Apologies in advance for the long post.

So I have a question, I'm a divorced guy and my ex was a Syeda and me a sunni. We never really had any issues with beliefs as I already leaned more towards to the Shia side of things. It was over personality differences. It's been an year almost, she's remarried and I wish her health, happiness and success.

So coming to the question, I converted somewhere down the line and after the divorce, my faith has strengthened, my beliefs are stronger and I'm mostly trying to learn. I do want to remarry and start a new life with my partner till the end the end of days, obviously working in a partnership and making a beautiful life for each other with love and respect. I have 0 issues whether the girl is single, married or divorced.

However, I have come across the issue that, women are not exactly ready to even talk because 1. I'm not a Syed, 2. I'm not a born Shia? Like how is that even my fault where I was born and which household. My parents know and have been extremely supportive and like, I'm just at a genuine loss here.

Tawakkal is a big part of my life, but I do strongly believe that a person needs to work for it as well, however, how would a girl get to know me, or my family, if she doesn't even talk to me, how would she understand my love for the Ahle Bayt, or the hatred for the enemies of the Ahle Bayt, ot my overall beliefs.

I have tried Muzz (only option I had as I really try to steer away from rishta aunties) and that app has failed miserably.

I'm genuinely at a loss here for what to do?
