I really like this guy named Alex, but som of my friends think it's weird cuz I'm black and he's white. But I really like him and I want to get to know him beter and already start a relationship with him. He and I are really good friends. And he's smart, and funny, and nice, and everything I could ever want in aguy, even his personality is great, but I'm afraid to try and get with him, cuz everyone thinks it's so weird. What should I do guys!!!!!!!!!!

Colot shouldn't matter at all. One of my friends is dating an African American guy,and she's white,and I have never seen her happier. Difference in color isn't the first thing people should notice about you too..and if they do..well then they are obviously only focusing on one thing.

it dosen't matter, people may talk but who cares what they say

in the marching band their is a racialy mixed (black father white mother) junior girl who is dating a caucasian freshman boy and they have one of the strongest relationships that i have ever seen. it just goes to show that color is only skin deep.

Unless you're stuck in the past color doesn't matter at all. I'm white and I had a black boyfriend for a few months, no big deal. It ticked off my grandpa, but like I said, he was stuck in the past.

It really comes down to shared interests and your ability to get along with one another. I think a lot of couples are same-race because their cultures are more similar. Ya know?
However, I'm a white girl and I have had my share of crushes on guys that are not white. I had it bad for this asian guy once. And that was just because we had so much fun together and had similar morals. Sadly, he moved away, though... *sigh*
But... I'm an independent...go against the flow kinda gal... so I wouldn't let anyone else dictate who I date!

My godsister has an African American husband and she's Mexican. They also have a 5 year old son together. So, should color matter?
Of course not!

I am black, I like a white guy, he likes me, we don't care what others think. The only difference to us is melanin and carotene.

The only guys i ever dated were either white or hispanic and i look black. (i'm black and white and lots of other races) Just go for it. If you feel something is wrong, then maybe its not about the race that you feel is wrong. Think it over a couple more times. Then you know what you really want.

Color should never matter because i am part native american. You should never be judged by what you look like whether its color creed or race. It just matters that you like this person and they like you.

Who cares if it's "weird"? If you really like this guy, I say you have all the reason in the world to go out with him. Don't let other people get to your head because of skin color; the color of someone's skin doesn't affect their personalities, does it? If someone confronts you about the different colors, then you ignore that person, as hard as it may be. As long as you think the guy's worth it

no, color shouldn't be important in a relationship. If it was i wouldn't have been born. I am black, white, indian and jamacain.

if you really like him, then go for it, why not just atleast take a chance lol...
