Interracial Relationships

Quote From: cher757

for their racial dating preference? i prefer white or hispanic men and sometimes i feel guilty because i am black....as if i'm "turning my back on black men"....
Why r u feeling guilty?   If u prefer white or hspanic men, then that is ur choice unless something happen to u  when u were or if u ever dated a black man. I am dating outside my race. I know that Im not  turning my back on black men.  I was with a black man for 13 years and I see that the relationship wasnt  going any where and I decided to move on and get out of that relationship .  That time in my life, I wasnt looking for a relationship, just  a friend to go out with and have a good time with.  I met this wonderful white man who just swept me off my feet.  It just happen just like that.  He is younger than me and I am having the time of my life.  It  is all about happiness.  We have been together for 8 months now and I havent felt this way in  a long time. Color isnt  an issue when it comes to love.  I never ever thought I would fall in love with a white man and never thought a white man would fall in love with me but it happen. U know what, I am more happy and and to hear a man tell me everyday that he loves me is all I ever wanted.  We r now talking about  marriage!!!!!!   That is a wonderful feeling knowing that this man wants to spend the rest of his life with me. His parents isn too happy about the relationship but they r starting to come around slowly and he didnt allow his parent's influence  and ignorance to break us up.  I know this man loves.   So go with ur heart . u shouldnt feel guilty about anything concerning ur happinees unless there is something that happen.

Dating After 40

Quote From: renew50

I am 49 years old, will be turn 50 in a couple weeks have 2 grown children. I separated from my now ex husband in 1985. Divorced in 2002. I haved had only one date back in 1987 which was a total disaster. I decide not to date for a while so that I could concentrate on my children. Now that my children are grown my son is 27 and my daughter is 21 and both are now out of the house.  How, where do I go to meet guys. I have tried the online dating serve that does not seem to work!!!! I do not drink so the bar scene seems to be out I am not religious so I do not have a church to go to that. I am totally clueless on how or where to meet guys. I am not bad looking. I am a little over weight but not much. I dress nicely and work makeup ( which is not overly done either). So can some please give me a little bit of a hit.
I just  turn 40 last month and found myself a wondeful man who is 14 years younger than me and he is a white man.   What I am saying to u is not to limited urself.  Be open to other races and dont let the age bother u.  U might find love with a younger man.  There is nothing  wrong with that.  Date outside ur race too.  Have an open mind about dating. Go for it girl!!!!!!!!  Be happy and have fun!!!!!  I did it and very happy about  my choice I made.  I wont change a thing!!!!!!!

Interracial Relationships

Quote From: theren7

I am a black woman married to a white man.  We've been married for three years.  He is such a supportive. loving, and caring husband. 

 

When I introduced him to my family, I received a different, but respectful response from them.  They had to  grow to understand and accept our relationship.  Of the many family members that I have, there was one aunt that just couldn't understand the relationship at all.  I must say, "I'm from Mississippi."  In my opinion, interracial dating/marriage isn't really understood by SOME southerns.  For many of them, I think it is past experiences in which they have based their opinions.  For others, my belief is that they would rather stay with what is familiar to them.  After setting aside her thoughts, I must say, "My aunt loves him to death."

I havent been on this message board since January 2007 and I am happy to say that I am getting marry tomorrow, January 6th 2009 to my fiance.  He is a white man who Ive been with  for the last 2 1/2 years with.  His family now accepts me for who I am now.  They know I was a good woman  for their son and if you read my messages earlier on the message board, his parents did not approve of our relationship.  But after time and patient and knowing that this wasnt a phase for their son,they saw that I love him and care for him.  They saw that he loves me too.  We are happy and ready for the world.  I understand what it is like not having your family understand why you are in a interracial relationship.  My family was fine with our relationship.  It was his parents but now we r pass all that.  We're happy and thats what matters!!!
