Girls, I'm dating this mixed guy and my family will not like that?

[Anonymous]

I'm brown (Indian), and he is mixed white and brown. He's as tall and strong, and I've been dating him for five weeks. My family won't like him because he is mixed. When I go out with friends I secretly ask him to come meet me. He hugs me in those strong arms when he sees me, and I knot the front of my shirt so he can see my flat and smooth stomach. If I were home, my family would come and pull down my shirt. But he does respect me and doesn't try to push me to go further than I want to. He opens doors for me, pulls out chairs for me, and compliments me not just about my appearance or my body. I am a good student and he always says that I'm smarter than him (even though he's not so bad himself). He is protective of me and too many brown guys are just thirsty. I don't want to hide but my parents may not be okay with this?

I always found it weird when other people oppose to other peoples relationships. Why should anyone have a choice for what another person wants.

It’s sad to be with someone your family doesn’t like but I still find it weird that people have a say in anything regarding another person’s love relationships.

I mean if you’re in a relationship where you’re being abused in someway, I think that’s the only time other people should have a say to advice you.. otherwise, people should not have a say in anything unless you ask. Even if it’s family.

Any relationship can go bad, so try it with the person YOU want not with whom others want. If it goes bad welll o well you try again with another. And it won’t be a told you so because just the same the relationship can go bad with anyone even with someone if your own race.

Go with your gut feeling. If you’re happy, your family should be happy for you as well. Unless he mistreats you then that’s different.

I really like him a lot. And if he isn't thirsty and he can protect me, I see no reason I shouldn't be able to show my back and belly when dressing.
