Muslim dating app lets ladies message first with a 48-hour deadline

If you’ve ever joined a dating app and matched someone, but dithered so hard over your initial message you just… never talk, then don’t worry, you’re not alone.

Humans, with our affinity for endless swiping, often forget to actually get the ball rolling and respond to some of the people we’re matching with.

So one app, aimed at Muslims looking for suitors, is putting an end to it by deleting the match after 48 hours if you fail to respond (Bumble has a similar idea, giving women a 24-hour deadline to get in touch, but Muzproposal is aimed specifically at Muslims).

And because we know *some* men can get a bit overexcited on apps, it only lets women make the first move.

Muzproposal is the work of Faisal Qureshi, who wanted to create a service where users are pushed to converse within a time limit.

He tells Metro.co.uk that there have already been some success stories – by which we mean engagement and marriage.

The app, free to users on the App Store and Google Play store, lets women start the chat but if you buy the premium version, the ball is in anyone’s court.

Faisal is hopeful the app will be used for all the right reasons.

Faisal tells Metro.co.uk: ‘We know timing is everything in the Desi community. One has to finish education at a certain age, one has to marry at a certain age and so on. As a result, this is a new cool concept for the Muslim community.’

Faisal tested other dating apps and found that a major problem was the lack of a sense of urgency.

He added: ‘A lot of people are on these apps just to sit around and swipe right or left for hours and once they match with someone, no one talks.

‘And unlike other apps where girls get bombarded with guys’ messages, on our app we empower women to be in control.’

It works similar to other apps where you swipe right for those you fancy, the user will then have 48 hours to match.

And once the match has been made, a further 48-hour countdown will begin, for the woman to start up a conversation. If she doesn’t, the match shall be forever lost.

Unless you bump into them at a Tesco.

Muzproposal also has real-life events at venues across British Colombia, Canada, where they’ve had four marriages.

In the States, they’ve had more than 60 proposals. UK users are now able to download the app and get mingling.

So go forth and message responsibly.
