    Sometimes thats why Allah tells us to get married soon.. Im not saying you need to rush out and find a partner.

    Maybe you need to be more active in group social events in university, join clubs, exercise, read, meditate, tutor you students, just get active to fullfill your time and get rid of drepression.. You just need to feel wanted.. You can get his without a relationship...

    also get active in you local muslim community.. Maybe the women there in the local masjid(mosque) hold gatherings or potlucks etc.. If they dont, why dont you start one.. Maybe you can get an arabic learning class started, find someone who knows the language and get some of your friends together who would like to learn.. Or a cooking exchange class, some middle eastern lady who can cook and share how to prepare those recipes.. Just some fun things to do to exchange cultures... and eventually through these meetings in the future you will have a friends base to eventually find a husband/partner.. Someone will obviously know someone (the man) who will be your future husband ^_^

    It's not wrong to like guys. Just as long as you're not willing to go too far with that.

    We all go through that at some point. It's just a random feeling that just pops into our lives when we least expect it. I'm sure you've had these feelings before. Just think back and ask yourself: How did I cope with this?

    Only you can know truly for yourself what you can do in order to cope with feelings like these. So, look within and fight those temptations.

    hi, first of all, u sound like a sweet girl...i hope u don't continue to feel bad about urself and ur feelings.

    I think ur feelings are natural...ur in environment with lots of guys, it makes sense u would like them.

    and it makes sense that u may feel lonely if many people around u have someone and u don't.

    i think that accepting ur feelings rather than suppressing or immediately trying to change them is a good first step.

    also, as it has been suggested, participating in school activities and studying will be a good investment of ur time.

    good luck :)

    I guess It does not make sense to me when you say "I'm really religious" and then you say you have a crush on a guy! Is this a Muslim man that you may have a crush on to marry of is it something else? I think all women have saw a Muslim man at one time and wished they could marry him or maybe be interested in a halal way (that's human and not haram) but to act upon this by him not being Muslim or dating (even mixing) that is really haram and would make you a bad girl. So please do not go down that road. No guy will marry a girl that is that way so stay on your straight and good path sister INSHALLAH.

    i agree with Umm Talal..getting attracted to the opposite sex is normal but do not transgress.coz ALLAH does not like those who transgress...moreover the period u r going thru is the time wen u r an easy prey to satan and hez trying to deviate u from the path of ALLAH.so subhanallah that u r religious take this thing as a challenge from the satan and defeat him in tricking u and put trust in ALLAH insha allah u'll get the guidance of the Almighty ALLAH. engage urself in religious works and wenever crazy thoughts come to ur mind keep reciting Auzubillah hi minash shaitn nirrajeem or do ALLAH's dhikr.
