basically I wouldn't tell anyone here I was dating a chick from Iran unless they were a really special person.

I think you asking for trouble. Is he an Iranian American or is he going back to Iran? There is a big difference. There could be so many reason that he would want to use you, from getting a green card to taking you back to Iran with him. If he is already a citizen and has been here for awhile, I wouldn't worry near as much, but it is just a bad situation to put yourself in. There are huge cultural differences that could cause problems. Another thing you have to ask yourself is, is he Muslim? If so, you know that he will never marry you, unless you convert to Islam. If he is serious about his religion that is. In the eyes of Muslim's once you convert, you can never go back. You will always be Muslim. Honestly, I think it is a bad idea, and personally wouldn't do it, but I am not living your life and will not tell you what to do. I will tell you that you have been warned to be careful and if things do go bad, remember that your friends tried to warn you. Good luck!

If I was you, I'd put my friends in their place. Just because someone is Middle Eastern, that does not make the guy a terrorist or whatever else they want to think. If they were your real friends, they would be supportive of you.
I understand where you're coming from. I've heard many things about of of my closest friends. Her family is from Jordan. She spend the first six years of her life there. There have been people who've thought she was a terrorist or some radical Muslim. I have to laugh at that because not only has she been an American citizen for 16 years of her life, but she's been Christian since birth. People are quick to make snap judgements.
I also remember a time that I was going to visit family on vacation. I was waiting at an airport for my connecting flight so I was killing time by people watching. I saw a man who looked Middle Eastern. I notice everyone else eying him nervously or giving him dirty looks. I caught his eye and smiled at him. You should have seen the look of utter relief on his face that I would not instantly judge him!
We live in a sad, sad world!

Anyway where are you from? alright obviously ur friends might not be only one who give racist comments. but if u really like him, seriously that doesn't make any changes to you. By all means just go for it. who cares if he is a black? or a white? Why cares about comments and opinions that people use to give, and miss a chance getting together with the one who let u feel comfortable with. When time goes by, eventually they will tend to accept the facts.

hey, I'm a Arabic guy from Iraq though but I'm Americanized and i have had 3 girlfriends which were one Italian, Mexican, and white. I'm 18 years old, your friends are just haters and no an Arabic guy doesn't expect you to change your religion for us, most of us respect whatever religion you choose to be. and me and my girlfriends had a very special relationships, and by the way almost every Arabic guy is into romance. and the rumors you hear are lies. i live in Michigan and I'm not telling you that the guy you are into is a good guy or a creep but what i am telling you is not all Arabs are creeps most of us are good guys.

I live in an Arab country for more than 5 years - arabs have no feelings they lie nice and too much and they are interested only in their satisfaction they do not care about the others feelings
take care with him especially he is from Iran they have bad impression about women from America or Europe
You have to be carefully and pay attention to all he is saying they lie to much
90% from what he says he is lying TRUST ME and if you can let him go
if you are not a Muslim he is convinced that you will get into his bed and in the second day he will forget even your name
They had really bad ideas about Christian women

Nationality does not make any difference.
As long as you like him and get nice feeling from him, he is too good for you.

i think if you like him and he treats you well( and continues to do so) then you should go for it, your friends are clearly narrow minded and immature and you should really consider if you want to be such good friends with racists.
