Interracial

I have enjoyed reading the comments posted here. I am a 22-
year-old white female dating a 26-year-old black male. We
are madly in love with each other and hope to be married in
a year or so.
We actually tried to break up shortly after we met due to
pressure from my family, but we couldn’t stay away from each
other. Later we broke up for different reasons, and in the
meantime, I was in a serious relationship and he got married.
A few months ago we literally bumped into each other at a
football game. After discovering that we were both single,
we soon fell right back in love.
At first it was tough with my family, but they came around
a lot easier than I thought they would. They decided that
they couldn’t help but love me, even though they’re not
convinced I am making the right decision. However, they are
being very open-minded, and I appreciate that. They have
met my boyfriend, and they like him.
Darrell and I have not experien ced many obstacles socially
yet, but we haven’t been together very long either. I go to
school in Muncie, IN, and he lives in Chicago. We have done
fine in both areas so far.
A few nights ago we were discussing the best places for us t o
potentially settle down. It is really sad that we may have to choose our geographical location on the basis of where we will be the most accepted. However, I would rather limit my
geographical choices than not be with him.
Since we have be en together, I can honestly say that I am the happiest that I have ever been. We are perfect for each other in so many ways that it would be stupid for us to give this up over a social issue.
Someone else said that it is hard enough to find the rig ht person to marry without limiting yourself to certain demographical characteristics, and I wholeheartedly agree with that statement.
My motto is “let people love each other”. The world would be much happier and healthier if everyone could subscribe to that way of thinking.
