Not only that, but a June 2006 Gallup Poll on interracial dating indicated that 95 percent of 18 to 29 year-olds approve of interracial dating, with over 60 percent of that age group having dated someone of a different race. Some of your friends may find it difficult to comprehend that you wish to date interracially. Just be sure to understand each other's expectations and limitations before you two go any further. Interracial dating is when two people of different races marry each other. It is not the same as dating within your own race because there are many differences between the two types of relationships. For example, in an interracial relationship, it is normal for each person to want what others think they should have - like white women wanting to be married to black men and black women wanting to be married to white men. Also, in an interracial relationship, it is common for one partner to feel less attractive than another. This can make the less attractive partner feel bad about himself or herself. Finally, in an interracial relationship, it is normal for either party not to fit in with the other's family since they come from different cultures who have different values. You should consider all these factors when deciding whether or not to date interracially. If you both agree that there is no racial discrimination in your country and that both of you will not be affected by its presence, then there is nothing wrong with dating someone of a different race.
