I have seen many interracial relationships in my family and among my friends. I've never had an interracial relationship because I've only been asked out by whites. When my cousin who is Irish and Italian American married an African man, her father objected and didn't even attend the wedding. Now twelve years and two children later, he not only has accepted the marriage, but embraced his son-in-law and their children. It took several years for him to come around. My sister dated a black man for nearly three years. My mother wasn't happy, but she has never been happy with any of the men in our lives.
The primary problem that they had in their relationship really didn't have anything to do with 'race' per se. They had different goals and expectations which can cause any relationship to end. They are still the best of friends even though their romantic relationship has ended.
nucutiepie, have fun and enjoy yourself. Maybe this new friendship will blossom into a romance or maybe not. I wouldn't worry too much about it, if I were you.
