I guess I'm talking about a different race here. I have dated mostly half races. Specifically with half Filipino race and half white. Well, we have the right to pick who we think we like and that we think that are attractive to us. So dating someone different from my race is not a problem for me. I wouldn't mind dating someone whose white again, or mixed. However, I still have preference for this.. I have my think that which I don't go for... I'm not going to say that anymore.. I'd just keep it to myself. Anyway, would you ever date someone with different race? Why or why not?

For me, I can date anyone for as long as he can be trusted. Race will not matter to me. What matters is, his personality. If I feel that he is great guy to be with and have something which enthusiast me, then I am comfortable dating him. Girls, should not just consider the physical appearance of a guy but more of the personality and intellect. Dating someone helps you also develop your social life. Aside from that you can even learn something from the guy which you can apply it to yourself.

skin is skin its all gone after your past away, so what does it matter ? i've dated all kinds of girls different race's the one who i've been with on and off for 2 yrs is mixed black white and asian ;) and im white so it dont matter to me but some of my friends hate it i just tell them its not them so they shouldnt care, just some ppl are old school still i guess even when their young cuz im only 21 and most my friends are the same age group 18-26, we shouldnt have a prob. with color or race but from past history some one will always have a problem..could it be jealousy tho?

Dear friend, I do not consider much on race while dating, I consider how well we go better, how well we enjoy our campanionships or relationship. May be the enjoyment or the comfort of being with each other is much important for me. May be understanding each other well.

I would have no problem dating someone with a different skin color. I don't see color in people, I see personalities. It's the personality of the person that I look at.

I definitely have!! A person is a person, and skin color just doesn't matter to me. In fact, I married a man who isn't white like me and we are very happy. His mother is irish and father is from the islands, so he has gorgeous olive skin, and so handsome!! Our relationship thrives better because we are sooo different and always have something to talk about!! So it works out great!! I believe there will never be a dull moment.

I have no problem at all with people of a different skin colour, and if i happened to fall in love with him, I would date him. I happened to marry a white man, but then I happened to fall in love with a white man, I was not specifically looking for one. I'd love him just as much, no matter what colour he was.

My ex boyfriend (i.e my current partner ) is white while I'm not but I think it's not a big problem. First I thought that he liked me because I'm very white, even whiter than many europeen women, but I was wrong. In fact, europeen men prefer bronzed skin, so I'm persuaded that my partner loves the person who I am. As usual, different races imply different culture, different viewpoint,... so it might take more time for an interace couple to know well each other, but once get close, they're stickier than monorace couples.

hi ,y dear feind, i dont think that i'll be having a problem with that thing. i had friends of different race and i dated them. i enjoyed it till the time my respect in thier eyes is there. till they treat me with respect it does not matter what different caste or creed they belong or come from. but if they treat me or have some wrong intentions for me then be they be of my own caste or race i will sue then like anything and tey will remember all there life for that. i think making friends of different race help us knowing people better more nd i think i ahve learnt many things about many people their religion their way of eating, worshipping many thngs. i enjoy ed everything. its fun, friend.

Sure, why not? I mean if I were single, that is! LOL I'm mixed myself. My husband on the other hand is all white. So even though we have some of the same race we have different skin color. Neither of us ever had a problem with it. In fact, it's what helped attract us to each other 17 years ago as he prefers brunettes and I prefer blonds. LOL

i wouldn't mind dating someone who's not the same race as i am. if you truly love someone then language, culture, race, religion or any other matters, should not be an issue or barrier. i've seen and heard many people who date other people that's not the same race as them and they are happy together. i guess when in an inter-racial relationship, the couple must know that they might face problems or that there are people who wouldn't approve of their relationship. they have to work together and stand by each other to try to overcome the problem. if they love each other, then they would not mind the obstacles that they have to go thru. but if only one of them is willing to preserve the relationship, then it could be difficult. i don't have anything against inter-racial relationship, in fact i admire those who are in that kind of relationship, and how their strength, courage and love for each other made their relationship possible.

Yes I will. As a fact, my current bf is a Belgian guy (from Belgium). I am so tired of my past relationships with Filipino and American guys. I don't like other Asian guys (Japanese, Korean, etc) I think Europeans are more educated and don't act as if they are kings unlike the Americans.

My current girl friend whom I live with is Irish... My daughter is half Korean, part German & part Irish... I never planned it that way but I've never dated Asian girls... I came to U.S. when I was 14 & back then, I wasn't old enough to date anyone... As I grew older, I had more dealings with people outside of my race than my own... I don't see a problem with inter-racial relationships... I would date someone with different race because they're human beings... Enough said...

Yes I would date someone of a different race. I ahve friends who wouldn't and this makes me angry but I guess thats their choice. I don't care what race they are, it all depends if i like them and what they are like in general.

I have never tried dating (nor had the chance) someone purely of different race. Had dated someone half race, Fil-Chinese, so somewhat not too much of an issue since there are lots of Fil-Chinese in the Philippines and I also have Chinese blood.
