I would like to know if people date with-in or out their culture? If yes why? was it a good experience or bad?

Answer 1

of course they do how do you think mix breeded cultures are forming? i don't recommend dating outside of religious culture just because of the difficulty of a sensitive topic. it would cause a lot of arguments and is considered wrong in most religions. as far as race who cares! it's just a skin tone. i actually rarely date with in my own race. i have two beautiful mixed children there are some people who think it's wrong but they are peole who are racist to begin with i don't have any worse experiences in relationships with people of other races than i do with relationships with men of my own race. men are men and women are women. you run into the same problems regardless of race.

Answer 2

I have dated a guy from Iraq (been in America for 8 years now)- go to school with him.
It was ok. The relationship didnt last very long, but we werent compatiable. We're still bst friends; we work together.

Theres nothing wrong with dating outside your culture or a different race, period. Only the ignorant people will tell you that there is. If you like someone, date them. If not, you'll always wonder "what if." What if they were the one for you? Dont take that chance and date the person.
Good Luck!

Answer 3

My daughter dated a guy from Nigeria. He was a total liar and fake. She found out through others he told them that he had a wife and 2 kids still in Nigeria. Also a real controlling and possesive guy. And the final straw was drug use. She got out and then found out he was seeing 2 other women at their same job the same time he was with her.I'm sure not all men from Nigeria are like this, but it scared her off from dating out of her culture.

Answer 4

I don't care what other people do, but I dated people of different religions or no beliefs at all, and it never worked. I have been married for 16 years and my husband has the same beliefs and pretty much grew up in the same social group as me. I don't think I could have married a rich man either. I don't think it has to do with color of skin. I think it has to do with how you view life.
We had a few things in common, but our faith and ideas on marriage and child rearing are the important things. That's why in the Bible it talks about being unequally yoked, that doesn't mean color of skin, it means your faith. I could have never married a Jewish person.

Answer 5

Hey I am married to a croatian and I am english. We are both European so to be honest there is not really that much of a difference except the language, he speaks english as well. i had never gone out with anyone before who was from another country before and can't say he is that much different from anyone before. My friend went out with a Middle Eastern guy and that was a disaster they had completely different ideals and beliefs and there was a huge cultural difference so it depends on the person really.

Answer 6

My first husband and I could not get past the north and south thing. I grew up in Massachusetts, he grew up in Louisianna & Texas. His family was all about the money (which they didn't have) and mine was about sharing with family. Our first Christmas we were living with his family. I came home on Christmas Eve and his younger brothers had already opened all their presents and I was heartbroken because to me it was all about spending time together on Christmas day watching the kids open presents and playing with them-a big production. Our first Thanksgiving with his grandmother was not a beautifully displayed table with turkey and all the trimmings. I was dressed in my finest while she was in shorts directing the buffet line of cold cut sandwiches and BBQ mini weiners made from mustard and grape jelly. They were always talking openly about what they would inherit when someone died in the company of the person who would die and they would say things like 'can't wait to get my hands on that"/my grandmother quietly took me aside after my grandfather died and told me what I would inherit and I was not ready to hear of the possibility of her leaving us. His family members would often exchange cash for items & furnature they no longer wanted with other family members/my family would make sure you had everything you needed, give you the couch they didn't need anymore or buy you one if no one in the famliy had one to give you & you needed a couch. And don't get me started on their religion! Experience all the traditions of the new culture and have your mate experience yours. Know what you are getting into before you commit.

Answer 7

Most of my girlfriends have been from outside my culture (Indian and Chinese most notably) and I found these relationships to be more fulfilling than ones with 'local' girls which is why I only really date 'foreign' women now.
