I think if they would be unhappy, I doubt he'd tell his parents! :biggrin:

Be prepared to suck up and impress his parents. Trust me.

I personally don't have any problems with mixed faith/religions/race etc relationships. However, some by society are looked upon as weird! You might find that his parents are unhappy...but he doesn't have to tell them! :biggrin:

I REALLY like this indian guy and we are just starting to get to know each other. I'm just worried about what his family will think about me. Has anyone gone out with an indian guy/girl and had any problems?


It depends from family to family...if his family are more religious than they might be unhappy with the situation as they would prefer him to be going out with Hindu /Sikh/ whatever (I'm assuming you're none of these). If not they may be a little dubious at first anyway if they feel strongly about culture but could get used to it if they think you are serious.

But like I said it really depends on the individual's family I know some Indian families who would have no problem whatsoever with this.

i'm indian...
anyways, it much depends how stirct(old) his parents are. most indian parents tend to do everything by the book, but that's from my experience. also depends on what religion his parents are. ie: hindu/sikh/etc...

I don't think it's a question of being religious. It's a question of being traditional or tolerant.
Although I guess the two can be related.

my family would be fine with me going out with a white boy.. As they are with my sisters bf.. (But he must have good job prospects.. no joke :redface: )

one of my indian friends has a white girlfriend and they are getting along great.
I wouldn't think their parents would mind.

The majority of asian families will not be pleased imo. I can only think of 1 out of 80 ish that would accept it after a huge arguement/fight. You should ask him about it, maybe he isn't too tight with his family? or he is an exception. Best off asking him though!
