My friend has a strong desire to have a relationship with me and has expressed it, but I know my family will never approve...he owns his own company and works very hard, but theres an age difference of 14 years and he has 3 daughters. On top of it, he is mexican and my family is white. My parents aren't racist, but they always pictured me living a fairy tale life and meeting Mr.Right and him being white...but I think it may be worth a try to pursure this with my friend...he truely cares for me and wants the best for me, and I don't know what to do!!! My family's support is very important to me but I don't want to look back years down the road and wonder what could've been. Can someone please help me???

Sounds like your parents want you to have the "ideal family/life" that THEY want you to have. Reguardless of age, if YOU feel that this man could be the one, why hesitate? Your family needs to understand that you need to be happy, not just them. I hope you can get things figured out and I wish ya all the best!

You may regret getting into the relationship yourself after a while. It's not easy being with a guy who already has 3 kids and you may or may not have personal issues with the cultural differences as well. The truth is that you won't know unless you go for it. If you are concerned about what your family will say then speak to them and let them know your feelings before getting involved.

How old are you that your family has so much say in what you do in your personal life? If you feel there's a potential in this relationship, go for it. It may or may not work out, but you have to try. Your family will just have to deal with your decisions, if you are of legal age to make them.

First off....how old are you? I am 8 years difference from my soon to be, I am 25 and he is 33....I am also adivorced mother so I know when I say don't settle down to young. The fact you are worried about your parents tells me you are young and if so , wait and if you still feel this way in 5 year, then I say go for it.
