Signification
To arrange a meeting with someone at a specific time and place.
Contexte culturel
The concept of 'Ta'arof' often makes 'Gharar gozashtan' a bit tricky. If someone says 'Let's meet' without suggesting a time, it might just be politeness. It only becomes a real 'Gharar' when a specific time and place are mentioned. In the fast-paced life of Tehran, 'Gharar' is often set via voice messages on Telegram. Being late is common, but 'Gharar' at trendy cafes in North Tehran is a major part of youth identity. For more traditional families, a 'Gharar' between a young man and woman might still be supervised or happen in public places like parks to maintain social propriety. Business 'Gharars' often involve tea and long introductions before getting to the point. Setting the date is just the first step in a long relationship-building process.
The 'Ba' Rule
Always remember to use 'با' (ba) for the person you are meeting. It's the glue that holds the sentence together.
Don't say 'Kardan'
Avoid 'Gharar kardan'. It's a very common beginner mistake. Stick to 'Gozashtan'.

Confirming the Gharar
In Iran, it's good practice to send a 'confirming' text a few hours before the 'Gharar' to make sure it's still on.
Shortening in Slang
You can just say 'قرار داریم' (We have a date) to imply the whole process of having arranged it.
