Can interracial dating last to marriage or just a fling?

I have met a great man. I still have a lot more to get to know. This is my first interracial relationship. What are some of the obsticals that are different then any other relationship? They all require work.

  1. It's a relationship just like any other. Most of the obstacles you'll encounter will be ones that you two create. Just pay no mind to anyone who gives you $hit about it and you won't have a problem.
  2. If that's what you want then go for it. People need to realize that it is what it is.
  3. This is not a criteria! If he is a nice man, it will work!
  4. Of course they can, you just have to set aside all the things people might say to you..like they do to me and my boyfriend.
  5. my single mother married someone of a different race and they have a greatt relationship.
  6. if he makes you happy that is all that counts
  7. you are the obstacle
  8. go for it people are people. been there and it's ok.
  9. youre thinking too much about the racial issue and not concentrating on the relationship. Makes me wonder if youre doing it for the attention. Its doomed.
  10. a lasting marriage isnt based on skin color, it doesnt matter what color he is as long as ya'll both are willing to do what it takes to make the marriage work. the only obsticles other than that will be dealing with other peoples views of you two if you can block that out and still support one another you guys will be fine. my sister married a white man and have been married for 15 years happily so good luck with that
  11. I could say something lame that won't help you at all like "skin color doesn't matter" or I can just say what I actually know. My sister (white) is going out with a black guy. They are engaged but they fight non-stop. Here are the big issues from her side of the story He's always late getting home from work, by a large amount of time He's selfish/thinks of himself He doesn't know anything about money and is wasteful He gets ready for things like a girl, taking an hour or more, ironing, being in front of a mirror, picking out clothes, etc. There are also a million little things. I don't want to blame him for all the problems, I'm just giving you her complaints. Maybe you won't have these problems. She is very hard to get a long with. The fighting keeps getting worse the farther along it goes. I don' have problems with the guy, but I don't think this will make it. Maybe it will.
  12. I have always said interracial relationships require two very strong people. And in any relationship, the man has to love you more than you love him or it won't work. So for you, my advice is your man has to be strong and committed and you have a chance. It all depends on how he feels. It's obvious how you feel. My mama told me not to date a man you wouldn't marry. And never marry a man you would have his kids. I have date black men since 1983. And I never married, because I never found all these criteria lined up. I wish you luck and happiness!
  13. men and women are the same no matter what the race........ the problem comes in when outside ideas and oppinion get into the relationship
