Ryan Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Do you really have these strong feelings for him.....or are you doing it purposely to piss your parents off? There's nothing wrong with interracial couples, but young people often have subconscious motives of spite in these situations. That wouldn't be fair to HIM. Link to post Share on other sites
yes Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 it's perfectly fine to date guys of other races. your parents may prefer you to date white guys, but it's not an issue that cannot be settled - after some arguments and talks... but he's worth the effort, isn't he? moreover, it's not NECESSARY for your parents to like everybody you date - YOU're dating him, not them! if you stick to the guy, then over time, they're likely to get used to the idea, especially if they see that the relationship is going well. good luck, -yes Link to post Share on other sites
Vivid_29 Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Sounds like you're in a sticky situation. Have you tried talking to your parents and telling them how you feel about him. Link to post Share on other sites
