I understand what you are saying, but, to me, what you just said is taking marriage lightly. Like you said, some people get married because "it's time" or they don't want to be alone. Those are wrong reasons to get married. They are taking it lightly in my opinion

I feel you. I'd rather not deal with all the drama, but I'm glad that you feel where I'm coming from.

I don't care...as long as they aren't walking stereotypes of their race.

I know this thread is a bit old.. but I had to add my two cents.
It really rubs me the wrong way when people say "oh I don't date -insert race here- guys/girls whatver" , to me that's saying I assume that everyone of this race is going have these characteristics that I don't find appealing, so I don't bothering trying to get to know them, and that's closed minded.

The girl that told me about this site, told me she wants to be more than friends the other day. We had been hanging out as friends for a while, but that was it, or so I thought. The whole idea of her wanting more is flattering but, when we would hang out as just friends, man o man did we get snares. She's really nice and very attractive, but I'm just not comfortable with the whole situation. It caught me off guard when she laid her feelings out there like that.  I've never been involved with a white woman before especially one in a white sorority. It would be very difficult to relate to her.

I'm not sure that I understand exactly what u are trying to say. If u are able to relate to her as a friend, why would it be hard to relate to her as a girlfriend? Her skin may be different from yours but she's still a person.

Why do ppl continue to use their own experience as a benchmark for others? It is absolutely wonderful that you have had successful interracial relationships, but how does that speak to someone else's life, family, environment, etc?

Correction not just mine, but others around me. I don't know where you're from but I'm glad I don't live there if you're all a bunch of bigots.
