How to Date a WidowerYou know, snowflake makes a good point, but in a few hundred years it's true, there will be no "pure" white race anymore anyway. so you might as well just find happiness for yourself because in the long run even if you don't your progeny will be in a interracial relationship. Some people do look down on couples that are dating outside of their race. But, fortunately you only have to worry about what you two think.

If you are happy, then you are happy. People fall in love with people. Yes there has to be some physical attraction between the two people, but that is highly possible for anyone. People do not fall in love with skin, nor do they fall in love with body parts, they fall in love with the person as a whole. Be that the same gender, the same skin color, or different.
