About Chivalrous
My name's Evan.
I'm a guy. I'm honest. I'm a listing ear and a shoulder to cry on. I'm trustworthy, and usually try to hold myself to high values. I never judge a book by it's cover (so to speak), and I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Life is real. I've seen too much of life to not know what I'm talking about. If there's something I honestly don't know, I'll tell you that. I'm also pretty mature for my age: I'm old enough to know better, but still young enough to understand.

Hi, my name's Rae. I'm 18 years old, female, and I'm of 100% Korean decent. I have the most amazing fiance, Christian. He's 19, male, and super Irish (He even has red hair!). Anyways, the point that I'm trying to get at is that we're obviously different nationality wise. We're in an interracial relationship and a lot of people seem to be bothered by it! I honestly don't understand what's so wrong with us. We love eachother and I don't think your ethnicity or skin color have anything to do with it. So, I was wondering what kind of opinions any of you have about this subject matter. All advice is welcome, but please be serious and honest. Thank you!
With all the social commentaries and political correctness going on in today's society, most of these advicenators have got it right: Love is what counts. I would say 18/19 is a little young for marriage, but it does happen.
Skin color is social, love is emotional. In this respect, it's okay for interracial relationships. As for me personally, I despise the word. Race? WTF does that matter? The heart has no color. We are all people and we all have the same emotions. We all create and develop relationships.
And even though interracial couples are given the most attention (and difficulty), the same could be said of good friends. It's not about what they look like, it's about who they are. Some people are more comfortable with people who do the same activities, listen to the same music, wear the same cloths or look the same as they do. I don't admire those who say "I have this friend who's black..." or "I have this friend who's white..." But I admire those who see their friends for who they are, and say "I have this friend..." And then you meet them, and they are just as great as what was said.
