Well if he asks you out, I'm sure you'll accept because---------You like him alot!!!!!!!!!! I think the underlying question is the possibility of being in an interracial relationship. When I first started dating my wife, I remember walking through a mall and starting getting "the looks" right away. My wife is Africa/Native American and is beautiful. She doesn't find it amusing when strangers want to feel her hair because of the way it flows. When we had our first child, people always comment on her complexion because she doesn't have to worry about getting a tan. People mistake my mother-in-law for being my mother because her complexion is much lighter than her children's and her husband. I take this all with a grain of salt because I have'nt had to deal with this type of racism all my life like my wife and her family have. Is the love of a great woman (or man) worth this? You bet it is.

I can't help but point out that this question is slightly silly. You like him, he likes you back- what does the colour of his skin have to do with whether you accept a date or not?
-
Hell yes.

The problems with interracial dating, and the occurrence of interrracial dating,, seem to be much larger in the US than in Europe. The fraction of minority groups marrying outside their own minority is about four times higher in Europe than in the US. Which implies that anu problems you might have are local to your culture, not global. In theory, one should say do what is right to you and ignore the prejudices of others. In practice, life isn't that simpel. But look around you and think what problems it is going to cause. If you live in a deeply racist comminuty, you might want to think twice. But in general, you should treat him exacly there same whther he is black, white, bron, yellor or any other healthy colour.

You should never not do something because of the way you think other people are going to think. Do what is best for you.

GIRL GO FOR IT!
-
Heck yes, you should! If the feelings are mutual than you should have no problem with snatching him up and keeping him all to yourself. Girl, I am white and my boyfriend is black and we have this mutual agreement. "Love is Colorblind!" So go for it!!
-
ABSOLUTELY!! Don't let things such as "race" or pressure from society deter you from meeting a good person who could potentially be a great friend or even better your spouse. Experiment and take chances, you never know how it may impact your life for the better.
-
Of course because you like him and he obviously likes you if he ask you out. Why wait for him to ask you out if you really like just ask him out.
-
Its two thousand and seven. Not only should you go out with him but you should also go ahead and ask him out!
-
Absolutley! Color is the least important thing.
-
Sure. color makes no difference as long as you respect each other. If you are a minor, you might check with your parents and get their opinion, first.

I fail to see a problem. Two people like each other...why shouldn't they be together? If you truly like somebody, then who gives a crap what other people are going to say? And I really don't think people will care much anyway. I'm multi-racial and mostly appear to be black and I've never dated or mess around with anyone who WAS black, and no one has ever said anything to me about it. Just go with want you want, and don't worry about what you think society might say. It's your life.
-
Sure! why should the colours of your skin be in the way of anything? i think thats great if you want to go out.
-
it's entirely up to you, if you like him and he likes you then i see no problem.
-
Absolutely. As I've said before, you're human before you're black. Or white. Or pink and green with orange polka dots. Skin color really is only skin deep.
-
Yes! I don't know where you live, how the atmosphere for racial diversity is, but if you like this guy, it shouldn't matter what people think. Besides that, you'll be setting a great example for others, for how people need to embrase diversity, if the human race is going to survive.
-
Go for it! If you both love each other then that's all that matters. Show the world that you don't care what they think.
-
i think you should, and if anyone says anything different then just ignore them.
-
I think you should ask him out if he doesnt ask you out. U go Garl !!!
-
Of course! What does it matter about the colour difference? Or better still, why don't you ask him out?
-
Geez, that sounds just like that Seinfeld episode where Elaine was going out with some guy just because she thought he was black while he was only going out with her because he thought she was Latin
-
Why not? It is 2008 right? For a second there I thought I was dreaming of the future but it was actually 1950?
-
"Race" is a false categorization of members of the human race into sub-categories based on skin color and some facial charateristics. You like someone, go out with them. You love someone, marry them. It's long past time we got over this myth called "race."
