Kaiten Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Do you think that this match has the potential to be great? Her == White female. Just finished med school. Has very involved parents. Aspiring doctor. (I'm sure she has other goals, but I won't say until I know for sure what they are) Me == Black male. Into extreme sports. No college degree. Entrepreneur. Computer programmer. Aspiring author and public speaker. Not involved with family whatsoever. My initial thought is that I am dating out of my league. And I really like that I am thinking that. She seems like a great catch. Here is the important part. She is a southern baptist. And we do live in the south. So her family is very traditional. I am assuming that she isn't even open to the idea of dating black guys, but I don't see any guys (white or black) taking initiative with this beautiful woman, so I'm taking my chances. It'll be a week or so before I see her again. Do you guys think this can happen? I'm really interested in her!
Els Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I don't believe in leagues (so no, I don't think you're 'aiming out of your league'), but IMO you're likely to have a very, very, very tough time with her traditional, involved family even if you pursue her and succeed. It doesn't sound to me like they are going to accept you, and they may say some pretty hurtful things to you. Not just because of race, either. It's up to you if you think it is worth it.
Author Kaiten Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 Yeah, traditional families are a handful. My close friends have had a really tough time about that. I just wonder if I can even get close enough to her.
