NEWS — Jul 29 — Many of the Dubai's black-shrouded UAE girls say they
cannot check out the latest fashions in Zara or sip a smoothie in a
cafe without being bombarded with the phone numbers of hopeful
admirers. UAE population has increased roughly eightfold since
1975. Traditionally, a young man's first amorous approach to a
woman is supposed to be a marriage proposal made by his parents to her
parents. Bluetooth is a feature built into some mobile phones which
enables the user to transfer data to another wireless device nearby.
But crucially, it also enables one person to contact another within a
10 metre radius without knowing their phone number. Ahmed Bin
Desmal's friends joke that he is a "Bluetooth king". The 20-year-old
says he has used the technology to send notes to girls he sees in
public places. "In our country it's very rude to go up and talk
to them," he says. "I sent some notes, they liked them – they took my
number and they called me. I say nice things – I'm into poems." Saud,
22, met the girl he describes as his girlfriend two years ago on the
internet, through instant messaging software. Although they talk on the
phone, he has seen her only five or six times, by following her from a
distance as she shops with her family in a mall. He says she's
beautiful. FULL ARTICLE @ BBC NEWS
