Feeling uncomfortable, should race matter?
Hi you guys, Im 21 yrs old so I don't have whole a lot of experience w/ dating, but Ive been dating this guy for a couple of months, and I really like him a lot, he's really cute and he's has a good personality,the only thing is he's a different nationality then I am, so it hasn't been easy for me, because I constantly feel uncomfortable when we go out in public, I feel like everyone is starring at us, and I get a lot of mean looks from people, and I see people whispering and things, I even get made fun of by my friends, but they say there just kidding , but it bothers me, now when we're alone its fine, I just can't take the feeling that I get when were out in public, I know that sounds bad but I can't help the way I feel, and I even asked him if he feels the same way, and he says no he likes the attention, which kind of worries me, is he just using me using me for his own thrill?keep in mind I never dated out my race before, because of my parents thoughts about it, and I know that I shouldn't care what others think, but I do, is this relationship worth pursuing ,does any one have any thoughts or can relate to my problem, I'd really appreciate any feedback!!
