Hi,

I've been where you are, and all I can say is that when you are in love, truely in love, you just never notice colour. Just think of it like this: The fairer colour is milk and the slightly darker colour is honey, anything wrong with milk and honey, well I thought not.

God bless

David Lewis agony auntNo, they are not a bad thing. But, there are many prejudiced people about who seem to make it their business to try to interfere.

The main problem I see is the fact of your age. There would be may people in your school who would seem determined to make their disapproval known to everybody. This is typical of many schools. I am white, but had a black gf when I was 13. Even my so called best friend made this out to be a big problem. He is now married to a black woman.

I think peer pressure and so called generis school opinion would be mainly to blame. Even those who accept the relationship would possibly put on a front so they are in the majority.

You will find though that people would have an opinion, whatever type of relationship you are in. I was in an age gap relationship and had more than my share of prejudiced assholes sticking their noses in.

Just do what makes YOU happy. If he makes you happy, then don't let other peoples opinions spoil that. Enjoy your relationship, sod what others think.

Best of luck hun.

TasteofIndia agony auntNO. There is NOTHING wrong with that. I'm half black and half white (my Mom is white and my Dad is black), and I am allll that. Haha.

Don't let anyone tell you there's something wrong with that. Color is just that. COLOR. Which is better? A red cup or a blue cup? Both are made EXACTLY the same way... same with people. Color is just on the outside, sweetness.

Some people will make snide little comments as you go through life - I know my parents get them sometimes... and I do too. But you have to be strong. Love is love and stands against ignorant people. Don't let ignorant people sway you...

You go girl. You are totally OKAY!

A female reader, Carina South Africa +, writes (8 February 2007):

Carina agony auntCertainly not! Problems only arise in these situations if there's a huge cultural difference, and that's the same whatever the colour of people's skin. I wonder why you're asking this question. Perhaps it's because you've had negative comments from other people around you, in which case ignore them because they're blatantly prejudiced. If he is the man for you then your or his skin colour is completely irrelevant. Good luck!

A female reader, anonymous, writes (8 February 2007):

ABSOLUTELY NOT. There is not a damn thing wrong with it and don't you ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

As you go through life you'll meet people who disapprove - some will be silent and some will make comments. Ignore them. There is nothing wrong with what you're doing.

AskEve agony auntI personally don't think there is anything wrong with it. The skin colour shouldn't matter, it's the person inside that matters.

No matter where you go though, there will always be someone making some remark against it but don't let it worry you. If he makes you happy then THAT is the main thing.

I wish you both well.
