You are right about others might disapprove,but this is you and your heart! Love is Love,and just make sure this guy feels the same as you do in feelings,because if he doesn't,this is totally not worth coming against your family over.You might not feel this way at this moment,but if you don't have family,you really don't have anyone,family is family and with the great love and support,even though is doesn't seem like it at this time in your life,but all the right things have a way of leveling out,so don't stress,love your man,but show respect towards your families feelings in this issue,if they feel strongly against you and this guy in your life,keep him just in your life for now.Remember,they just have opinion's and they care for you deeply or this wouldn't be an issue to begin with.Good Luck to all involved and best wishes!

When you have feelings for somebody..race should never even matter. You cant give up a chance to be in love just because someone doesnt approve of it. All love stories in life had challenges. If you believe that you love this person...go for it. I have always dated white guys all my life and now I am with a someone who isnt and it is the best relationship I have ever been in. Follow your heart. If it ends up not right for you..the decision should be yours to make if and when you need to. How will you ever know if you dont take a chance?

I hate the fact that this is even a topic for debate or discussion. People are people, no matter what their skin color or nationality. My fiance is Iranian, and I have had my share of looks and comments while we have been in public settings..but my family isn't an issue, thank goodness. But....if they had been, I would have not changed a thing, I am the one who has to make ME happy and whole... having the support of your family would be ideal...but don't let their opinions dictate how YOU live your life. Peace.

Depends on your age. Are you doing this to get at your parents?
Are you old enough to date? There are two sides to every story and it doesn't sound like you are telling the entire story here.
As far as my opinion goes, I have no problem with it. When my daughters started dating I tried to teach them to look for the good traits in guys. Color was not an issue but background and ethics were. The color of your skin does not tell what kind of person you are or what your values and goals are.

I dont know how old u r but let me tell u something. My daughter had a mixed baby and i didnt care cause she was my grandbaby but people r still in the old times and racist as ever, The kids r who pays for it but i know that i tell my daughter that if u really care about him and he does u then go for it. I was with a white man before that did nothing but beat me every day so u do what u think. They will understand.color doesnt matter. How u feel does

Perhaps you can ask your family why they are against such relationships? If their answers are not legitimate ones,such as: they feel the other race of people are inferior to them (for whatever reason). Then, out of your respect for their concern, let them know that you honestly don`t feel the same way they do, and you would like to give it a try, and make your own decision.

I'm in an inter-racial relationship, a Japanese-American with an Italian. That's how the world should be - we should mix and match!

i don't see any problem with interracial dating. It's not like you are dating an alien from another planet. the only difference is that the person is from another culture. if the two of you are really wise and mature you can learn so much from each other and it can really be a rewarding relationship. as for your parents if you are truly in love and are willing to make this work they will eventually respect you for that.

Are you in love with the boy, or are you in love with the idea of pissing off your racist parents and showing them that you are a better person than they are?
If you are in love, he probably has a lot of the same personality traits that you have - and they would probably like him, too, if they get to know him. Bring him home - not a date - and let them meet him. Let them talk to him. Let them see him the way you see him.
But if you only see him as a (black/white/latino/asian/etc) boy, that's all they're going to see, too. If that's the case, stop trying to use him for your own selfish purposes.

Color should not be an issue these days. I see all people as equal.It is what's inside that counts. I have been with my man for 8 years, and he is Hispanic. I love him to death, and don't care what anyone thinks. We get stared at all the time, but i take pride in being with him, he is great.
