I would like to ask her out but I don’t want there to be any pressure because of our different races.
There’s a girl I like at school and I think she might like me if she got to know me better. We have been lab partners for the semester and I find her attractive. The situation is she’s black and I’m white. I know there is a lot more interracial dating than there was before, but is it something that’s accepted in most places? I would like to ask her out but I don’t want there to be any pressure because of our different races.
It doesn’t matter if it’s acceptable in other places, what matters is the grief you may take in the place where you are. If there is interracial dating in your town and you don’t hear too much about in conversations at school or during social events, or even your parents, then chances are good that while there may be some people who don’t like it, the roof won’t cave in should you decide to try it.
There will be some pressure whether it comes from inside your family or hers or when you catch some of your friends by surprise. One of life’s little quirks is when we come face to face with our own beliefs. Most of us like to believe we are open and don’t think of race in terms of inferior or superior and then we are faced with a situation where we have to walk the walk, we find ourselves surprised at our reactions. Your parents may wonder what you’re doing. It could be they want to make sure you’re ready for what you’ll be involved in or they may disapprove.
First things first: ask your parents if they would be supportive of your dating outside your race. If they are, and you’re ready for the possible negative reactions, then take the next step and see if there’s some chemistry between you and your lab partner.
