how do your family members feel about you dating interacial?

i was just wondering how members of your family take to you interacial dating?
ie/sisters brothers/mum/dad..

are they okay with it/or not??


the first time introduced your gf/bf(of another race) to your family how did they react(if there was a reaction)..??
:?:

im sorry if this thread has been made before but im new so please forgive me,

 

They don't really care either way. Which is cool because that's how it should be.

 

I don't care what my family thinks of me dating White women. What was the reaction of your folks when you bring the brother you fancied?

 

thats good,my mum and dad are the same,and i make you right on the last sentence. but not everyone is lucky enough to have parents like that,,i know alot of people that have not had it that easy...friends of mine..
ive always been lucky with bf parents they always seem to like me,,i guess im a nice girl.lol

 

I'm surprised some parents are not for IR especially in the UK,but most of them are more supportive. Had you seen EastEnders some years back when Anthony Truman was dating Kat and Zoe Slater?

 

my mum and dad just got used to the fact that me AND MY SISTER were never gonna date anything but black guys(yes it runs in the family) :lol: ,lol.my mum and dad broke up when i was young so my mum met most of our bfs
she has always loved most bfs we brought home,and my mum is a typical med women,she will ask you a million times if you want to eat some of her home made meditterrean food,and tell you how handsome you are a million times as well.(well i do have good taste in men),lol :lol:

 

You have indeed to make your mother happy.

 

i think black families are more excepting on interacial dating than white or non blak families(i could be wrong)but through my meetings with bfs families in the past they all seemed to like me and i never had any problems in fact im still friends with my exes mum and sisters,

You are very fortunate of not having bitter breakups.

 

Co-sign. Only my immediate family and friends know and they could care less. If anyone outside of that circle shall object, then I'll simply disassociate myself from them. I'm glad I can just drop people out of my life whenever I want to instead of beefing with them for whatever reason.

 

Me...personally, I'm very private about my personal life, so I don't broadcast it to begin with. However, those who know me know that I'm going to 'do me' and if you've got an issue with it, you can get a firm "FCUK YOU". If you want to make an issue of it, I'll promise you'll get punished.

Otherwise, live and let live.

 

I agree. I pity people who feel the need to push their opposing view (of interracial dating) on to those of us who don't want to restrict ourselves by exclusively dating a person simply because we share the same ethnicity. They are going to miss out on so much because they feel comfortable in their bubble of social conformity.

 

My husband was the first guy of another race that I dated. Part of the reason my family was upset was because we eloped after dating for two weeks. We'd been friends for over a year, though. They'd never met him.

I'd talked about him before so when I called my parents to tell them I was married my mother said, "Rod? Oh, no, Allison. Not the black guy, right?" :roll: My mother said many hurtful things to me during that conversation. :cry:

Anyway, nearly eight years later we are still married with amazing little boys and my parents love my husband. It's really a dream come true for me. They are no longer concerned about "what the neighbors will think" and my mom has nothing but praises for my husband.

 

I think many of my family members sort of expected that I'd come home with a black guy one day, so when it happened they took it OK. The only one who have serious issues with it, is my grandmother...

Her, on the other hand, I'm absolutely furious with. For instance, we have a crib that we've all slept in for the last 4 generations. It's my grandmother who keep it when it's not being used, yet she hasn't asked if I would like my son to use it too. I haven't mentioned it either, cause I don't want to start a fight, but I'm actually extremely angry at her. My son would have been the first of the 5th generation to use it..

We also got an equally old christening gown. Same story with that...

All other relatives are very supportive though.

 

I can honestly say mine do not care. A lot of people "say" their family members are fine with it but secretly they are not. My family was raised to accept everyone so long as they are worth your effort ie. honest, caring and have intergrity. Quality had no colour!
I have a few friends who question my IR choices but not in a negative way, just out of curiousity.

 

Colour.

Are you British, Canadian or Australian?

 

I am a proud Canadian!

 

My parents weren't thrilled at first because they thought that I was too young to really understand the societal pressures that go along with IR dating. Now, that I'm older, it's not that big of a deal. I'm like some of the other people that have posted on this thread. I don't bring many of the guys (white or black) that I date to meet my family unless it's serious. I don't see the point in letting the family get attached to people that may not be around for long.

 

Got to love Canadian women! My wife is from north of Sioux Ste. Marie Ontario.

 

They don't like it. But at 42 years old, i stopped caring what my parents think. i have agreat man who I plan on keeping, my kids love him
