Interracial relationships?

Question

I've like a guy who is white, i'm black and I was wondering if he would mostly like be interested in me. Another question, what do you truely think about interracial relationships and would you consider dating someone out of your race? If you have been or if you are in a interracial relationship at the momment can you tell me the pros and cons that comes with being with someone outside your race?

Answer 1

Hi, I don't see what colour has to do with going out with someone just cos it might not seem the right thing to do...

If you both get on and are comfortable being seen together I see nothing wrong at all, after all colour is only skin deep, Go For It girl...good luck.. BTW I date a Black guy and I'm white....

Answer 2

Without knowing the "guy" there's no way anyone can tell you if he would consider going out with you. That's something that only the two of you can decide.

I don't know where you live but where we live, I see very few "white" men with "black" women. I'm "white" and personally, would not "date" out of my race. It depends on the person and I'm not attracted to anyone outside of my own race. That doesn't mean that other people aren't, or that "he" wouldn't.

Things may be different today and interracial relationships may be more "accepted" than they were, but that doesn't mean they don't still run into difficulties. I just think it's too much "hassle" for most people to deal with. No matter what anyone "says", I still believe that children from interracial relationships have a harder time finding "acceptance" (whether that's right or wrong).

I wish you well and if you really like him, talk to him. You won't know anything until you find out his views on interracial relationships.

First he's a guy so you never know what they are thinking lol, him being white shouldn't have an effect on whether he likes you. As for what I truly think about interracial couples, I think you fall in love with who you fall in love with, you can't help it. Dating someone of a different race is the same as someone as someone of the same race.

My personal experience:

I dated a guy from Congo, Africa for over a year. There were good and bad things none of which had anything to do with his race. He had a very different culture than me so it was interesting, we did have some differences when it came to how we were raised, our beliefs, but other than in the end he just wasn't looking for the same commitment I was. I do not limit myself to a single race or even a few, I am open to all. I am currently in a relationship with someone white (like me) but it wouldn't make any difference to me what race he was. Hope all this helps! If you need any help feel free to message me!

Answer 4

Race shouldn't be an issue at all, doll! I never would worry about! That's just silly and pointless. Hm, Hopefully he should, but it's hard to tell without, you know, without being him and knowing his thoughts. I doubt he'll like or dislike you just because you're black. Hmmm, What I truly think about it? Um, nothing...? A couple is a couple? I may be in Oklahoma, but I'm far from the "okie" narrowminded, racial, homophobic hatred that Oklahoma is notorious for. Well, It is all the same to me. I have never been in an interracial relationship, and never had. I've just never met anyone, you know? I doubt it will be any different than other relationship... (?) Hm, well, I haven't been in one, but have ideas/have seen pros/cons...(EDIT: the guy above me said most of the pros and cons I was gonna say. I guess I was right. heh)but I'll leave that to someone who knows...I haven't experienced them, but like I said, I'm in Oklahoma, and people are HATEFUL here...

I wouldn't worry about it, what anyone says or thinks, and race shouldn't matter, only if you are happy with him and visa versa, and your relationship's working!

Answer 5

I am currently in my first interracial relationship with a black women (I am caucasian). So far the relationship 'hurdles' have been no different then in a same race relationship, but we do enjoy comparing views about certain things. Most minor issues we experienced came from the outside, such as the occasional evil looks (from both 'sides' btw) or the minor discomfort of one of us 'standing out' in certain groups (i.e. me being the only caucasian in her church).

In regards to the guy, I can only tell from my own experience and viewpoint, but for me it does not matter at all what color someone's skin is. I grew up in Europe and had virtually zero interaction with people of different skin color and therefore did have no expectations or anything. I would just ask the guy, I think that most men are pretty open to the idea.

In regards to 'Cons' I would list stuff as I written above - evil looks, standing out, problems with family members (although both of our families are really supportive!)

Pros? You can share different view points and get an insight into certain things you never even knew existed and we have a strong mutual sexual attraction based on the fact that we're 'different' then each other.

Answer 6

There is absolutely and I say absolutely nothing wrong with interracial relationships. I am a white dude and have been married to a latin woman for almost 30 years. I am solid proof. In this day and age, I do not even know why you would ask this question. Honey, we are all the same inside and also something else, there is only one race on this earth we live on. It is called
The Human Race, ok case closed and Good Luck to you.

Answer 7

Nothing wrong with it at all - I am white and have only dated black guys and am now married to a black guy - some places we get the weird looks but we stare right back at them. The cons I have experienced is how he was raised compared to how I was raised. Good luck and know theres always pros and cons with any relationship no matter the race of the partners.

Answer 8

Im white and my hubby is blk. I have a beautful mixed son. I dont think there is anything wrong with interracial dating. People are people no matter thier color. And if you are in love with them then thats all that matters. Pros and cons...hmmm dont know dont notice anything..if people are ignorant than thats on them. We go about our life everyday with no issues. Why not ask this boy out that you like and see what happens. You will never know if you dont try. Good luck if you ever need to talk just holla.

Answer 9

I've seen lots of ladies of various races I've wanted to date, so I think it's alright. I'm not currently involved in an interracial relationship at this time.

Answer 10

I am very white and my hubbie of 6 years is a dark Mexican. We get some looks sometimes but I tell my self its cause they think were a cute couple. Mostly the older generation has issues with it. I love it cause our kids are very good looking. They have the best of both sides. I have seen some very beautifull kids from interracial couples. Good luck don't let color stop you its just color!!!! What would our world be without it?
