Seriously Dating someone outside of your religion/race

I'm the same way! I've only seriously dated one Jewish guy and he turned out to be a real loser. The rest of the Jewish guys I've met have only wanted a hook up. The only guys that I've been serious with have been either Protestant or Catholic. I, too, would have liked to have met a "nice Jewish boy" but unfortunately, the ones I met weren't "nice".
In high school, I joined BBYO and in college I joined our Jewish Greeks organization but I just didn't find any nice Jewish boys.
I think of it this way: as long as you meet a nice Christian guy who doesn't mind that you want to teach your children about Judaism, than it's all good.
Some of my Jewish guy friends have even gone as far as to say they'll only date an Ashkenazi Jewish girl. ????? why? I'm half Sephardic and half Ashkenazi so I guess that means I'm off their list.

I think you can have happy marriages with people of different religions, but only if both are willing to work for it and make some compromises. My aunt is Catholic. Her husband is a Muslim. Her 2 boys go to a Catholic school, but they also go to religious services at the Mosque. I think it's great that they are exposed to both religions.
My aunt does not participate in the Islamic religious services, no celebrate Islamic holy days. She does however encourgae her husband to maintain his faith if that's what he wants.
So, 2 interfaith marriages/relationships can work, but only if you want them too.
