Hamsaryabi: Afghan singles, dating & relationships

Looking for a serious relationship starts with understanding what matters to you. For the Afghan diaspora, language, family and culture can be part of that conversation.

What does hamsaryabi mean?

Hamsaryabi (همسریابی) means looking for a spouse or life partner. Afghan hayi mojarad (افغان‌های مجرد) means Afghan singles. For some, dating is a way to explore a connection; for others, it starts with the intention of marriage. Neither intention should be assumed from someone’s background. Talk about what you each want.

Say what you are looking for

Before you start meeting people, consider the kind of connection you want. Friendship, getting to know someone and looking for a life partner are not interchangeable. Share your intentions respectfully and ask about the other person’s expectations without putting them under pressure.

Talk about values, without making assumptions

A shared background does not mean identical beliefs. When both people feel comfortable, talk about language, family involvement, faith, work and where you hope to live. Listen for the person’s own answer rather than assuming what their culture means to them.

How DelbarMe fits in

DelbarMe is a social and community app for the Afghan diaspora. Ashnayi lets you begin with voice, while Halqas connect people through shared interests. The app offers ways to meet and get to know people; it does not promise marriage, compatibility or a particular relationship outcome.

Build trust at a comfortable pace

Let conversations develop over time. Respect a different intention or a decision not to continue. Keep financial and identity details private, be alert to requests for money and meet in public if you decide to meet offline. A meaningful relationship needs mutual interest, consent and room for each person to choose.
