cnkale80 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Hey everybody. I have embarked on a new relationship (at least will be exclusive very soon). We are COMPLETELY opposite of each other with regard to up-bringing, ethnicity, economic background, you name it! She's Puerto Rican and I'm white, she grew up pretty hard and I grew up fairly stable but certainly no fairytale, she's a feisty little firecracker and I am very laid back and somewhat quiet, she's a city girl and I'm from the small town south. However, we went out for the first time and it was awesome! We both had that "I can definitely see this going somewhere" kind of look at the end of the night and since then it has gotten even better. We share the same values regarding family, God, and relationship dynamics. I have talked to a few friends and they say, be careful because it could just be the exotic nature of being with someone you never thought would be possible, but then again, they say, only thing at the heart of the matter is the matter of the heart and if we share the same value system, I'd have nothing to worry about in terms of anxiety or fear. Would really appreciate some feedback or some stories from anyone who has been, or is going through this. Thanks folks.
angel.eyes Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 It's good that you agree on fundamental issues, at least verbally. You need those at the foundation of any successful relationship. We can be attracted to people who are very different than us, and sometimes those relationships work out well. Sometimes not. It's like any relationship at the start. That's been my experience. Time will tell whether things work out with this person, and for how long. In the meanwhile, enjoy getting to know each other and try not to over-think or overanalyze things. 1
