I am a white female and one of my best friends is a black male. We have known each other for almost eight years, and we have had an unexplainable connection and attraction every minute we have known each other. We met in high school, and I am now 22 and he is 23, so we are still young. I haven’t really ever dated black men, and he has never really dated white women. This attraction exists because we love not only what is on the outside but also what is on the inside. He is beautiful, don’t get me wrong. We have never been an “item” because we haven’t lived near each other long enough to start anything. We were both away at school and now, he is preparing to move to the opposite coast, so there have been no plans of starting a further relationship other than the deep friendship we already have. Anyway, I have a feeling that he is my soul mate, maybe it is wishful thinking, but he is just absolutely wonderful. He makes me feel special and loved and beautiful all the time. He always has. If we don’t talk for months, we can call each other and it feels like we have never missed a day of talking to each other. He has been there for me through a very rough time in my life, and he has been the friend that everyone always wishes they could find. Like I said before, there is the unexplainable connection between us. Or, maybe it is explainable. Even if things will someday be meant to be, he has issues with marrying a white woman. It isn’t because the families would be upset, it isn’t because he is racist, it is because he thinks that white women cannot become a part of a culture that is familiar to black people. And yes, there are many cultural differences between any race or religion or many societies – I could go on, but the point is, how do you ever stop ignorance of one “side” or the other if you are never willing teach your culture to other people? Hey, I am more than willing to learn! There are many things all different interracial couples have to offer each other, so when you find someone that you really love and who really loves you, why would you go ahead and look beyond color, but stop at cultural differences? If we can learn to not see color, we can learn to mix our cultures. And, he even said that any woman of color he would be willing to marry, just that it would be very unusual to find himself with a WHITE woman. He told me that women of color put spice in their food dishes and white women cook bland!!( And we all know that a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach…)<\/p>\n

Any advice on this here subject, or just comments or questions, is greatly appreciated! Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n
