<\/p>\nWho wouldn\u2019t want to date a Lebanese? The women are intelligent and gorgeous, the men are funny and considerate. Bottom line is – we\u2019re the full package. This is for all the non-Lebanese who are dating someone who is; here is everything you need to know about dating a Lebanese: <\/p>\n
1. If the song \u201cM3allem\u201d<\/b> is playing on the radio, your significant other will start singing along and making very strange gestures with their bodies. But don\u2019t worry, they\u2019re not having a seizure – it\u2019s just a dance. You\u2019ll get the M3allem fever soon enough. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2. Once you start meeting their friends and family, you\u2019ll be on the receiving end of tons of kisses, hugs, cheek pinches<\/b> and basically anything that invades your personal space. Do not complain about it, just learn to accept it as a part of your new life. Oh and by the way, I can\u2019t help you with figuring out whether you should go for two or three kisses because I haven\u2019t figured it out myself. <\/p>\n
3. Unless told otherwise, no PDA in front of the girlfriend\u2019s family<\/b>. Play it safe and keep you hands to yourself, you do not want to anger a father or a brother – trust me. No PDA in front of the boyfriend\u2019s family either because surprise: this is a patriarchal society that would judge you and speculate about your past if you exhibit any signs of sexuality or affection. <\/p>\n
4. The family will be asking you hundreds of questions<\/b> about your parents, your job, your parents\u2019 job, religion, political affiliation, and your future. Come prepared, it\u2019s just like a job interview except more awkward. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
5. Once you get introduced to your boyfriend\u2019s friends, you will witness a heavy occurrence of winks and nods<\/b> at your man, do not be frightened, these are merely signs of approval\u2026basically, they think you\u2019re hot. When introduced to your girlfriend\u2019s friends, expect a lot of side eyeing and bitch face gazes, it\u2019s okay, they\u2019re just overprotective of her\u2026or jealous.<\/p>\n
6. You will be hearing many \u201cmo7ame el deir\u201d<\/b> jokes. Do not question them or ask about the reference, just don\u2019t. Laugh, smile, and nod – that\u2019s a basic survival mechanism. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
7. Expect lots and lots and lots of food<\/b> at family dinners. They\u2019re not trying to get you fat or anything, we\u2019re just generous people who love food. You will absolutely love the Lebanese cuisine so you\u2019re not going to mind all the extra pounds you\u2019ll put on. <\/p>\n
8. You are guaranteed to hear wedding talk<\/b> from everyone. They\u2019ll probably have your kids\u2019 names figured out already. And no matter what you do, do not\u2026 I repeat DO NOT mention that you don\u2019t want kids, like ever! Even if you and your partner have already agreed on that, just don\u2019t bring it up for everyone\u2019s sake; that sweet grandma\u2019s heart cannot handle such high levels of shock and disappointment. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
9. Your partner will turn into a complete monster while driving<\/b>. Don\u2019t judge because it\u2019s normal; driving in Lebanon can be horrible. Imagine the combination of lousy roads, lax laws, and horrific traffic. You get the picture.<\/big> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
