I have also experienced when your parents are not accepting of who you want to date. So if you ever need advice feel free to ask me.
Experience I have dated many guys of various races,cultures and religions.I have also helped many of my friends who had dated different races. Also I've been in different high school and college related organizations.
Question hi i am a hispanic woman who all her life has only dated hispanic men the problem is that i never really got what i think i deserved from them. so one of my spanish friends suggested i try dating a white man. in the past ive found some of them attractive but never dated them because i feel there is a big cultural diffrence and i don't want to be ignorant or nothing but i guess deep down i am just scared to do so
recently i met this great guy who just so happens to be white he has a lot of the qualitites that im looking for in a man and he's white. i have gone out with him on a first date and things went well but i can't shake this nervous feeling that i get and i dont' know why. i don't want to judge him based on his race but i feel like he won't understand where im coming from or where ive been because he's white
so can you give me any advice as how i can better deal with the situation and not offend him
this is all very new to me
Answer Hello
Well of course he wont understand exactly where you are coming from. I'm like a mixed black woman and I've dated white guys and I'm currently in a relationship with a latino guy and both of these races can never fully understand where I came from or my culture.But that doesn't mean they still cannot have an understanding of my culture. I can explain it to them and talk about with them and they can gain some understanding from it. I can also learn about their culture too even though I wont truly understand it either.
It's just something you'll have to deal with. And you have to understand that even if a man cannot fullly understand where you came from, that's not a big deal. What's important is that you both are compatible and make each other happy. You guys can be from different cultures but you can learn from each other.
So give him a chance and remember that cultural differences are not a bad thing. As long as you guys are compatible it can work. And he may not fully undrstand where you're coming from but he still can have some understanding. So give it a chance and I wish you the best of luck with this! I hope your future relationships will be much better than the ones in the past!
Melissa
