This thread is mostly for those of you whove dated, held relationships or even married interracially but of course all responses are welcome on maybe how you would respond if you were in this situation. Dont want to know about just exploring discreet sexcapades though. That went out with the parachute pants lol Im looking for various interracial couplings not just between black and white so ignorant racist comments would only be a waste of everyone's time. Thanks! :))

Well im brown always dated white men, I dont know what it is like over in the states, but here in New Zealand its a normal thing interracial dating , Yeah had the odd bump on the road but my ex and i lasted for 6 years :D So yep choose the snuggle 1 :)

Ah, that's interesting and thanks for responding to this thread. You chose a great way to deal with any tensions. Im guessing it's not always an easy situation, but Im glad it doesnt smother the love and dating experiences. Good for you!

I was into interracial marriage and I'm lucky my ex was cool headed . Mostly of the tension happened in the restaurant but he was cool headed . When I was upset with him and not talking , he held my hands and kiss them . We really never had any fight shouting / nagging / screaming to each other . Half successful for 5 years though ..

Wow, very nice Rainbowbutterfly. Yes, when you're the target of the racial tension it's hard not to feel isolated and alone even when your partner, and in your case, your husband was right there with you. He was excellent in observing the affect it was having on you though and was able to handle it quickly and perfectly. Although the date smoothed over and went well-yay- were you still uncomfortable eating at that restaurant or did your worries completely mellow out?

really i dont care about color. i was b&r in southern cali. my friends were all mixed and my family too. though me and my immediate family are white, but there are close relatives that are mixed. (were talking a whole bunch of people not just a few). so i chose snuggle. people are peole and youre attractive to me no matter what race you are. plus i cant stand ignorance and intollerance.

I love your post Paul. I could tell that much about you though lol The intolerance I can stand. Cause it makes me no difference anyway. Ignorance gets on my last nerves because it lacks substance. Just top of the head stuff. But, very very cool Thanks a lot!

@JustMeAndYou77: youre welcome ;)
i just dont care about the trivial crap like race, creed, sexual orientation. be you, cause thats what defines you.

I would have to choose 1 and 2...I snuggled and was affectionate anyhow and I just ignore ignorance as long as possible. THEIR hatred has no bearing on ME or mine unless we allow it to.

When I was in his country , There were many times that I was very uncomfortable ( I was very naive at that time ) and not so sociable so i didnt like the idea of dine out but with him besides me and assuring me everything would be perfectly fine then gradually , I adjusted myself .

It's important that your partner makes you comfortable especially in a place where you consider " new"..
