dating and marriage

It doesn't bother me at all. If you like the person, why should it matter? My sister married a guy from Indonesia. He's great and I know my family loves him just the same! :D

It doesn't bother me at all.

Why do you ask this question? Just wondering. :?:

I am of Native American Indian decent and I am married to a Caucasian guy. I don't see why it should make a difference. I don't see color at all. In my mind everyone is the same. We are all God's children and it shouldn't matter if we are white, brown, black, red, orange, we are all the same.

I think it is sad that some people make a big deal out of it. Like everyone said, it shouldn't matter as long as you love the person and they treat you really well. That they are going to make a good life for you and take good care of you. That is all that should matter. I don't let it bother me. People are just ignorant and I am not the one they are going to have to face when the time comes. That's my two cents. :D

Oh oh! Thanks Court! You made my day with your signature. You're sweet!!! Love ya!!

I want to date someone who is Asian. And my sister who married a nice hispanic guy.. she's gotten a lot of hate directed at her and her "half-breed" children. Granted, it's her inlaws doing it. I wanted to see if that is the norm, or if my opinion is.
You all feel the same I do. (and my "half-breed" niece and nephew.. are the most gorgeous toddlers you'll ever see.)

Mitten's I don't really think there is a norm on this one. I will tell you that it is not so cut and dry for some people. I am not saying that I don't think it should happen becuase I will tell you that those Samoan and Chocolate brothers are pretty good looking. But I will tell you there are a lot of people out there that don't agree. My sister married a black gentlemen and you will not believe how many people had a problem with that. I think it really depends on when and how you were raised. I also think that you can't judge the people that think it is wrong just like you feel they shouldn't judge you for who you are choosing to date. Sorry that is just my two cents. Hope you all have a great day.

I think its totally fine! I think it shouldn't matter at all. there are some people of course who will make judgements.. but as long as you don't let it bother you.. then it doesn't matter. and it shouldn't matter at all!

Ok, Now I have to give my two cents as well.
I know this FROM EXPERIENCE. I am dating and will marry a Filipino man. It is totally fine to do this kind of thing. Yes some people judge you and they just don't understand. What matters is that you love that person, no matter what culture they are or anything, with all your heart and they make you happy. Vee said it very well in her post. So, I won't say much more unless I think of something else to write. But Mittens is right too, those babies are the more darling things in the world and someday I will have mine too! I can't wait!!!

I don't think it matters. Why should it? My aunts sister married a black guy and they have the cutest kids I've seen!

Look at Abe and Rachel...It doesn't matter! If you love someone with all your heart, who cares, the two of you just need to be together and live forever with each other.

I don't think it matters at all. My cousin married a black guy and my brother is married to an american indian. they all have the cutest kids i have ever seen. i think people need to stop being so judgemental all the time.

I like this topic. personally, for me, and my cousin, we know we probably won't marry white guys. lol. I want a guy who speaks Spanish, and who has an awesome grandmother that will make me tamales...and other good food. lol. Honestly, I see nothing wrong with inter-racial marriage and dating.

Heather that is hilarious! Your post made me laugh! I hope you find your spanish man. :D

lol I only speak the truth! hehe.

mittens, are you dating the guy yet? How old are you?

Heather... the answer is kinda. He did ask me out on a date.. just work schedules and that fact he keeps traveling for his work... haven't had our "first date" yet. I do talk to him a lot though.... a day doesn't go by that he doesn't call. I guess that counts as something.

How old am I? Over 25. :wink:

Oh I gotcha! I was thinking you might have asked cause you were like 16 and your parents had a problem with it or something. hehe.

nah. i'm supersensitive and super-shy, and got some bad feedback (because my sister married hispanic and her inlaws treat her like dirt, and refuse to have anything to do with her (as they call it) "half-breeds") and a friend told me that if it the relationship with the guy i like went that far.. his family could very well be the same way depending on where in china he is from. (he's the only lds member in his family..)
i just wanted to hear other people who think like me.. and don't see "colors". i had a blessing that said that was a special gift i had, and that it will bless my life and others i deal with.
when i was 16 i didn't date at all.
my friend comes back from his business trip soon, and then "first" date with him. ( i think we are going to go to the zoo with my 2 yr old nephew.)
