Interracial Dating

Well, guys will be guys no matter what color, right? As for your grandpa, I'm pretty sure he would have stood by his word. He's old school, and especially if he's from the south you'd probably give the man a heart attack. So, you definitely made the right decision. It is your paternal or maternal grandfather? And how did you keep it from your dad? I was raised to be versatile, but have always preferred white, I don't know why I just do. Whether dating male or female (I'm Bi). And I don't know why, but so far I've found out that I've been all of my white lovers FIRST black girl. I don't know how it happened, but it did. Male or Female...I've been their first. I don't know what it is about me that makes them decide to try it. But one thing for sure, they were all serious relationships and lasted for quite some time.

yes, they definitely will be, haha. my grandpa though isn't from the south, he's from the north. michigan in fact. as far north as you can get in the us, haha. but i agree, it would've definitely caused some major grief and all - which is why we just kept it quiet. he is my maternal grandfather. and my mom, sister and i kept it from my dad quite easily. i don't have the best relationship with him - so we rarely talk, even though we lived in the same house at the time. so that helped, but my boyfriend at the time would come over and we'd just be in my room or whatever. my dad just thought that we were friends. that's great though that you've had a lot of luck in those relationships. i don't think that i'd get into another interracial relationship though. mainly because i'm already with the one i want to be with forever. but also because it was just too hard for me to do because of my family. it's bad that it's like that, but it is.

Well I'm glad you have found your true love. And I'm sorry that you had to hide that other relationship. Although, I can only imagine how it was for you, I was on the other end of that spectrum. A guy I dated some years ago had to hide our relationship from his father and grandfather. His parents were divorced, his mom lived in Georgia, but liked me and didn't have a problem with the fact that I was black. And things got real crazy when one day his father and grandfather to decided to pop over for a visit (during dinner). And because I didn't want to see how things would escalate with my children present, I chose to take my daughters and go to the bedroom. If it was just me there I would have stayed to see how things unfolded, but since my children were young I didn't want to put them through such a thing. Well, I hope that you can continue to share your experience with others, and I'm sorry that you had to hide it. Good luck with the new love. If things don't work out with me and my current love, I will continue to prefer whites. I just found that I really don't have much in common with most black guys that want me, other than our skin color or the city we are from.

Well I could probably say it better with a pictrue....

Well put dramaqn. Your family is beautiful. :)

so, just take a look at my page...:-) and enjoy some of my family pics

And that is the way it should be. I wish society would realize it will not stop. If slavery couldn't stop mix racing, and segregation couldn't stop race mixing, guess what? NOTHING will stop race mixing.

That's great, well you got one up on me. I've dated everything but Asian. I have a guy cousin who makes a joke and says he beat me to the punch on that one. We were just raised to be versatile and we love it that our family is like that. I'm a firm believer that love doesn't see color, so why should we? And based on what you have written I think you feel the same. Thank you for your comment.
