Race and relationships...

I like this Asian guy...well he's Pakistani to be precise...thing is I'm black...Could anything we have go anywhere since our backgrounds are so different? I'm not saying that he would have a problem but i'm thinking more along the lines that his family might not approve.

Any thoughts on this?

I am sure both sets of parents would be rightly concerned about protecting their heritage, something they have had for hundreds of years. Do you not share the same concerns?

He might be a really nice guy but personally I wouldn't. Speaking from experience, it would be really difficult. I was in a relationship with a Pakistani guy for about 6 months (I still am sort of but its on the rocks). His family constantly check up on him, he has to be really careful and I hate this. He cant show any public affection or appreciation towards me in case it gets back to his family. Sometimes I am supposed to spending time with him and his family are always ringing him and telling him to get home. Its really bad.
I dont know if they are all like this I dont mean to generalise but my experience is generally bad.

this is love/attraction we're talking about...

unless you're saying that you or the guy are "religious freaks", or have dominating parents that wont let you out after 9 pm, or both of you are 12-yrs old, i dont see why RACE should have anything to do with it...

when it comes to love/attraction, nothing else matters...

go figure...

the only thing that DOES matter is that he feels the SAME way towards you that you feel towars him...
