WHAT YOU SAY

Even though I am not 100% white, I hope I'll be welcome here on occasion, too--I don't like staying in boxes. I not out to attack anyone because I've seen the AM/WF couples bashing, actually here because I highly support all interracial relationships.

Lanterna,
I just had to comment on this one. So many of us pass up our big chance to be with a totally cool guy or girl because we are a little self-conscious about ourselves. If I were you, I'd take a deep breath and run (not walk) over to her and ask to see her on a more regular basis. I mean, the worst thing she could say is 'no' (if she says 'no', it's her loss!). By the sound of it, I don't think she would. Sounds like she is really interested in you. Try not to think of the race thing as a barrier. I mean, there are so many WFs out there who are open to interracial relationships despite what the media tells you, what is important to them is your personality and how you treat them.

Cinstinna & Curious Girl,

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement! You're both right, of course. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? I think I will take it one step at a time and just pursue our friendship a bit further for now and see where things go from there.

As if the usual challenges of finding one's significant other isn't difficult enough, IR couples-to-be must also contend with the very different set of dynamics presented by the race issue. Will he/she even be receptive to the idea of an IR relationship? Will the relationship survive under the unavoidable scrutiny of family, friends, and the public in general when the couple's out and about. Certainly, all things being equal, a strong relationship based on honesty, trust, and geniune love and caring for one another will probably survive just about anything. Having said that, I really do admire those couples who have been able to overcome such obstacles, as the rewards of a multicultural relationship must (foolish, I know, but what can I say, I'm a hopeless romantic) outweigh any negative aspect therefrom.

Strangely enough, ever since I became intrigued by my colleague, I noticed that I've developed a keener awareness of the AM/WF couples around me. I caught myself fixated on a certain AM/WF couple this past weekend as I was waiting in line for popcorn at the movies. It was almost as if I was watching them out of admiration with a modicum of envy. Whereas before, I would have never even noticed that he was AM and she, WF.

Anywho, thanks again for the advice. Cinstinna, hope your relationship with you friend blossoms into something beautiful very soon!
