Peer presure and fear are both the wrong answer to "why did you get married" the only right answer "we are in love"

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 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.

I don't know very many Asians. So, what's wrong with asian girls?

I wonder how this will all work for my niece. She was adopted from China, so she is genetically chinese, however she is being raised by my brother who is a first generation American (parents are off the boat from Germany) and my sister-in-law who is half Cherokee and half white "mutt" (her term).
So my niece might more closely identify with white culture than asian.
