I really don't see a problem with interracial dating. I think what's important in finding a good partner is not the skin color, but rather the mutual values, goals, and interest. I think it's intimately up to each person to decide who they want to date. If a person wants to ONLY date withing their own race that's fine. However, if they want to go out of their own race that's fine also. I think in our society today, it is more accepted. I don't believe in settling for ANYONE just because a person is lonely. A person should find someone that they can relate to in all levels...if that means someone outside of the race, then that's fine.

I have dated and have been engaged to men outside of my race. I do not want to paint a picture that all black men are unkind or unloving or not passionate but I have experience that men of other races seem to be more passionate and more caring. I am not speaking on an issue that I have read or heard about, this is a topic that I have lived and experience. I mean no disrespect to the black man but I find them not serious enough for a long term relationship.

I think that dating out side of your race is fine. I believe there is no color lines between anybody or anyone. If you fall in love with someone out side of your race it should not matter because its how you are loved by that person. It shouldn't matter everyone is different in there own way. If you fall in love with someone that is not your race and your family doesn't like it its not there choice. Maybe when you use to date and you stayed within your race but just wasn't working out because they were not making you happy. You might have kind of been pushed into dating your own race because your family didn't want you dating out side of your race. It shouldn't matter at all and don't understand why people make things so difficult on others.

I don't see any problem with marring outside your race. Sometimes, you just can't find what you're looking for in men in your own race that makes you look outside the bubble and who know you may just get lucky and find the right mate. I say go for what you believe. Don't bother thinking what other people think because it can be frustrating. Just remember you're suppose to please yourself and not others. Enjoy life!
