Default Teens dating outside their race? Anyone? (crickets)

I'm 18 , a freshman in college and I've always liked everyone (black,blue,yellow,green,white) whatever, if I find you attractive then I think that should decide whether or not I would like to have a conversation with a guy, not because of ethnicity. Anywho, I began dating outside of my race in highschool (junior year) I dated my first white guy bc my school was predominately white and the black guys weren't so pleasing to my eye, but anyway he grew up in the city so I consider him a "wangster" lol but later on in the relationship things got bad bc he had no good morals at all so had to let that go, now in December I began dating a guy who is a jewish Israeli but he looks like a tan white guy. He shops at PAC sun, holister etc but alot of my friends are so stuck on sticking to their "own" when it comes to dating so they look at me like I have "jungle fever" and the black males give me dirty looks , I just think it's kind of offensive bc it's like I'm suppose to only date black guys but I cant help that im attracted to who I'm attracted to and besides i feel the guys outside my race have so much more respect for me and they like me for who I am, I don't have to change my hair or be a certain complexion to satisfy their "desirable" needs...sorry if it was really long to read, I just want to know if any of you have a similar story?

Yes, I just left a 3 year relationship with a white man, and let me tell you, all men are the same at the end of the day, lol. No but I've had the same reactions from friends & the general black male public (dirty looks). Most of them are just closed minded and/or one sided. I believe in loving ppl for who they are & not based on color.

I've dated White, Indian, Hispanic & Black, at the end of the day I didn't even see all that. If anything it's a different experience when you go to meet the parents. You might learn something From each others differences.

True true lol men are dogs smh but that's true I got to meet his parents too and they're some of the nicest people I've ever met, I think that's because they're foreign , they're real laid back chill people.

That's dope, because meeting someone's parents, regardless of race, is nerve racking.

I married a german guy. We met like 5years after his family moved to the US. We liked each other for a few years but never said anything. When we started dating, none of our parents gave us heat. His parents loved me and my parents loved him. And all of our family (bros sis moms dads neices nephews) all got along great
What annoyed me tho, is when ppl would ask how my dad felt about me dating a white guy (he had a sad experience with racists ppl in the south when he was young). Funny thing is, my dad could care less what color he was, as long as baby girl was happy.

Long story short: as long as your happy, go girl. Just be prepared for a little hateration (ie Our honeymoon in Florida, but that's another story for another day).

*Love has no color*

I was recently expressing to my sister that I would like to date outside of my race. The only thing is that I've never been approached. I've only dated black or Hispanic men. I guess I could approach them, but I'm not really the flirting type. Now that I go to a predominantly white university I thought that I could more readily put myself out on the dating scene. But I've discovered that the white men don't really date the black girls and if they do it some big secret. & the black men are too busy jumping from one white girl to the next. So I really don't see myself dating anyone while I'm in college.

I mean I do go to a very small school & the white population seem to come from the same background: small town & conservative. Maybe my dating experience, well rather lack thereof, is a combination of factors.

I dated a white guy in high school and college.


That's my prom pic!
I don't think anyone really cared or thought twice about us. We had less "cultural differences."

I dated a white guy in college for two years and I accepted him with all his flaws and all. (Recovering from an addiction to weed, nearly dying in car wreck, suicide attempts.) But all this was before me, but he was still battling his demons. Anyway, my parents didn't want me dating him, especially my dad. He was like "My daughter is not going to be some white man's b*tch!" I never brought him around, but the relationship eventually died because I couldn't handle the way he did things, nor did I want to have a relationship where I couldn't have my boyfriend around my family. Besides, he wasn't the greatest boyfriend. Anyway, I'm happy and I think I found my future husband in my current boyfriend, lol.

All I can say is do your thing. It doesn't matter what color his skin is, as long as he makes you happy that's all that matters. Good luck!

Honey, so many people are still so closed minded. I dated all kinds before I settled down. One was Mexican & Korean, and dorky. White, Puerto Rican, Asian and Cape Verdean. As long as your happy. It's commendable that at such a young age you choose not to discriminate. That's great! Enjoy it and be multicultural. Whatever makes you happy.
