Is nationality important?

I'm perfectly ok with any nationality. A relationship is about love. I mean, I WISH that I was some other nationality all of the time because I don't have much of culture to show off.

My best friend was born and raised in another country and it can be hard for us to get on the same wavelength sometimes. However, she's my best friend, and I love her, and I can deal with it.

Plus, you can have really cute babies! lol.

I don't think it is important every nationality are so different take me I'm irish ok I'm pretty much the same as the english only different accents and countryies but we are so similar as I have learned while I've been there and have friends there but everywhere else is a lot different to us like america as I have learned from this site! It wouldn't make me act differently no matter where you're from! it wouldn't influence my decision if I like the person ill get with them regardless and I think id much rather marry someone who isn't irish like an english person or spainish lol

Everything can change and influence who you are. And sometimes you can end up on very similar paths, and it might work very well as a relationship. But sometimes it won't.

As far as the current US culture as a whole goes, generally speaking, you're probably going to be fairly open to dating whoever you think would do well in a relationship with you. In another country, it would probably be a horrible thing to date outside of your race or culture. Here, you're a little more free as an adult to date anyone you'd like.

The last girl I dated, she was very similar in culture. We had had some very similar things happen to us in our lives. That's the part that made us sort of compatible, and made us understand each other on some great mysterious level. But, she chose to view things completely differently from how I saw them, and insisted on doing things without listening to me. That's what broke us up. It's partly about your reactions to things in your life.

My first girlfriend cheated. Now, I could be angry against all women. I could choose to swear off women completely. I could let it fester; I could choose to become stronger and smarter about warning signs. I could choose to be angry with god. Or the trial could have made me have a stronger relationship with god. I could have chosen to have gotten more depressed and desperate. But I realized that she wasn't worth it. She had so many issues. I chose to remember those few trouble signs, be smarter about how I handled things, and not be such a "niceguy."

There's a million ways I could deal or cope with that issue, all bringing me to who I am or who I'm not at this point in time.

So, I think what it comes down to is as long as those differences can be forgiven (and I can't tell you what those things are, as they're different for everyone), and as long as you can find similarities that will work for the both of you, and as long as you both can handle it an a mature way, then I think it's the couple's decision.
