Communicating with the boy before nikaah

Q: I met a boy and spoke to him for the purpose of marriage. It didn't take me long after that to decide that I would like to marry him. My parents did not have a problem and were happy as well. I have now been speaking to this boy for over a year because he says he still needs time to decide. According to him, he does like me but he is just very confused about getting married. Please advise me on what to do as I know now that it is haraam for me to continue speaking to him. I did try stopping but he always says that he will decide soon and he also gets upset and has a problem eating and sleeping when I do stop. Please advise on what he can do as well to help him decide.

Method of ascending the mimbar?

Q: Is there a sunnah or recommended method of ascending the mimbar?

Doubting if one read a Surah after Surah Faatiha

Q: If in a two rakat prayer one doubts in the second rakat whether one had read a surah after surah al Fatiha in the first rakat, should he read in the second rakat after surah Fatiha 2 surahs? What should he do in a 4 rakat prayer? If he is sure that it is left out, is it waajib that he should read it i.e. in a 4 rakat prayer should he read it in the 3rd rakat or can he leave it out and do only sajdah sahw?

Making niyyat for leading women in Salaah

Q: I know that it is necessary for the Imam to make in intention for leading the females in a congregation. However, what is the ruling if initially the congregation is all males, but then a female joins afterwards? Will the Imam have to change is intention in mid-prayer? Also, what if the imam never finds out that a female has joined the congregation (since he can't turn around), will the females prayer be valid?
