The Student Room Group

black/white couple

I'm a girl, and there's this guy who has kind of expressed interest in me, but I'm worried about my family being racist towards him, or his being racist towards me. He's a really cool guy and my dad SAYS he'd be cool with me dating someone of another race, but put into practice I don't know how he would react. The guy has also expressed concern, not directly to me, about us being of different race.


Advice or any positive reassurance?
If he says he’ll be cool, I’d just take his word for it.
Trust your gut instinct and listen to what your feelings are telling you. :smile:
Most reasonable people have no desire to get involved in other people's relationships or act like criminals.

Sounds rather stupid imo.

If he’s doing that, I’d suggest arguing with him so that he knows you’re not okay with that nonsense.

Then eventually just move out.

It probably actually won't be a problem for a bit, because he is moving to another state sooooo.
