there is this guy i known for a while now. and no matter what, he dont say more than hi, u k? safe yh, cool cool. 
and i dont say hello to him at all unless he does first. 
waa weird and we all like that.
but Asian, other African and whites are friends with one another!
whats with us? is it something to do with the religion? or jus cultue thing that we take too literal!
do any of you have guy/girl somali mates!
To be honest I wish I never hung out with Somalis in my Secondary School days, we wasted a lot of time. Not only did we used to hang out, us Somali girls and boy but we even had meeting spots.
In my college days, we used to hang out but not so much. All of us Somalis knew each other for the most part, and spoke to each other, we was cool with each other and everything. In college days it was mostly guys in my classes, and so ofcourse in class I used to chat with guys alot, waa ciyaal suuqs hands down (Somali, Non-Somali), they all flirt, so no wonder the religion emphasises on not getting too friendly with them.
By the time I came to university, I had changed, and I thought it was inappropriate to get too friendly with guys, and I wasn't going to go out of my way to make friends with them. Anywho, there aren't that many Somalis in my university, I speak to two Somali girls, but I rarely see them. I don't really speak to [any] guys unless I need to, and if I do speak to them, it is rarely. And at that I don't speak to ANY Somali guys. There was one actually last year, but he left, I used to speak to him.
Sis, ofcourse it is something to do with the religion! We aren't supposed to get too friendly with each other, because it can lead to other stuff.
