If you love him and care about him and he makes you happy go for it. I am in a interracial relationship, i get looks and stares all the time but i dont let it get to me i just see that other people have to much time on there hands and no respect. As for your parents they will get over it, all they should care about is you being happy. Love doesnt come from the color of the skin but whom the person is inside. Dont let anything stop you from finding love. Good luck sweetie

I never can understand why this is still an issue.
Me? I'm brown and have a lot of ethnic variety to all the people I know. It was inevitalbe that I'd go out with girls with ethnicities different than me, but I still encountered the very same things you are.
That's not stopping me from doing as I see fit, and it shouldn't stop you either. YOU choose who you like, not everyone else (unless that's what your society actually dictates, in which case, forget everything I just said).

It is not the 1900s anymore. Do what makes you happy. It does not matter the skin color at all. If he treats like a queen and makes you happy then why should you care what people think? Just tell them that this is who you want to be with right now, and they need to learn to respect that period. They should love you and care for you no matter what.

I believe you should be with who you want. Color isn't important. Other people may have a problem with it, but it's your life. Do what makes you happy. My son is biracial and it makes me sad to think of the racism that still exists. We are all human. We all bleed red. Racism needs to end. Even if it's just one person at a time who realizes color is irrelevant. It's the person's heart that matters. Be strong and do what feels right to you. Good luck and God bless.

why not? if you like each other! give it a try. see if you can work through dealing with other people. it will be really hard in most cases, but true love is worth it. you never know, once you start dating, people just might get over it! they should! this is 2006!
be strong!

Other people have a way of making lots of things more difficult than they need to be!!! You should follow your heart, we are all made of the same stuff, doesn't matter what the "color"!!! Good luck, remember, it is YOUR choice, no one elses!!!

Please don't pay attention to what other people think about it! Look at what's on the inside, and listen to your heart. You'll never be happy going along with what other people want. It's your life, so make sure that you let everyone know it by doing what YOU want!

People that have problems with inter-racial relationships have problems because of the way they view other colored people.
If you like this guy, and he likes you back, there should be nothing wrong with it. Give it a try, you might really end up loving him.

When you look at him do you see HIM or do you see his color? If you like each other then it's worth it to see where the relationship will go. When it comes down to it - the choice is yours. What are YOU comfortable with?
