No not at all as long as he is good to you why should it matter.

Love is never wrong. What is the color of someone's skin have to do with who they are. I've personally been in biracial relationships with two different guys over the last 13 years (no, not at the same time) It's just happened that way, that's who I fell in love with. You do whatever makes you happy and stop worrying so much about what others think. It's your life not theirs.

No, biracial relationships are not wrong at all. People from other cultures are often different and beautiful in a fascinating way, and there can be a tremendous thrill in dating someone foreign, different, and just a touch *other.* Plus, if you want children, mixed-race babies can be drop-DEAD gorgeous. I know Amerasians and half-black/half-white people who are STUNNING. I had a college professor who was a light-skinned black man with curly, golden-brown hair and light green eyes, and have an Amerasian friend with pale Irish skin, blue eyes, and her Japanese mom's black hair and cheekbones...I mean, WOW. The human race can only benefit from romantic assimilation and expanding the gene pool.
However, what you have to worry about are social pressures from people less open-minded than yourself and your lover, if the two of you get together. Keep in mind that it's not just white people who can be racist - I'm white, and I dated a gorgeous, extremely intelligent black man whose grandmother HATED me solely because I was white, despite the fact that I came from a good family and was well educated. Indeed, while my (Midwestern) parents were admittedly rather lukewarm to my African-American boyfriend, his (Southern) family barely tolerated me to such an extent that I ended up breaking up with him, although we remained friends. (He ended up marrying an Irish girl who was even paler than me - go figure. I guess she found some way to win his family over, or didn't mind antagonistic in-laws as much as I would have.)
As far as other people accepting your relationship, it's really a matter of how nationalistic, insular, and intolerant your families, friends, and communities are. If you're in a mixed-race relationship or marriage, it might help to live in a more liberal place that doesn't have a history of simmering racial tensions: for example, you don't hear about a whole lot of hate crimes against mixed-race couples in Seattle, Portland, Venice Beach, or San Francisco.
So embrace your xenophile tendencies! There's no such thing as too much love in this world :-D

No way. Go for it. I'm currently dating someone of another race. I'm black and hes white. Its not common to see black women and white men together. But its not about color. Its about the love and connection you feel with that person. Yes there will be obstacles and there will be negative people, but that should only make your relationship stronger. In this day and age, I think its beautiful to see different people and different races together. That's what America is all about. Good luck and not let the fact that hes not the same race as you discourage you from dating him. He could be the one you been waiting for.

No way!! If you love each other, get along well, enjoy being with one another, want to extend the relationship, then go for it! Don't let anyone make you think differently. You can't help who you fall in love with...you're not supposed to. But when it happens, don't shut it out, hold on with both hands! Life's too short! Best of luck to you!

No. there is not any longer a unmarried verse contained in the Bible that announces that biracial relationships are incorrect. some human beings say that's incorrect because they misread the Bible. God advised the Jews no longer to marry non-Jews. no longer because of race, yet because they were surrounded by technique of pagan communities of human beings, and God knew that in the adventure that they married one among them, then they does no longer serve God, because they could be pulled to the beliefs of the better 1/2. edit -- See dude's answer for an party of those verses being taken out of context. God did not limit the marriages because they were of a diverse race. He prohibited them because they were of a diverse faith.

No, and society is becoming more receptive to it. It still can be difficult tho. Think about parents or grandparents that were raised in a diffrent culture. The family aspect of it will probably be the hardest part

It only matters what you think, for your the one who has to be in the relationship. If this guy will make you happy, then that is all that matters.

It's not wrong at all. You might have some obstacles to overcome but if you love him and he loves you, go for it.
