I'm not happy. I'm not sad. The point is, I have no emotion 98% of the time. It's rare to see me actually be happy and I truly miss being happy about everything.I feel like I'm not even human.I'm not insecure or anything but I just wanna be happy again. I've tried searching it up but I don't find anything relative to what I'm feeling.This has been going on for 1 year. I also feel like this is effecting my beliefs(Losing faith in God),my schoolwork, and my interactions with other people. I've had a good life and not any family problems or self confidence issues but I don't know what caused this. Thank you for reading this.. (link)

You and me are in the same boat I don’t think I’m depressed (cause I’ve gone through depression before) but I still feel empty inside and I’ve been searching for what I can do to fix this void. But I don’t know maybe you might be feeling lonely without even realizing it? For me no matter the friends and family I surround myself with I still feel alone, I don’t have any emotions and again feel empty. I hope you find your answer

I'm a Caucasian woman raised in a family that's all white on both sides. I've dated a few guys in the past who were Asian or Caucasian, but never somebody from African American descent. I briefly tried to date one Arabic guy and my family would have none of it, my dad routinely calling him racial slurs, and celebrated our break up.
Well I just met a really great guy who's educated and a total sweetheart. He has great ambitions and we seem to have a lot of common goals in life. I see us winding up dating fairly soon (he already bought me chocolates on Valentines day), but I'm kind of scared for it.
My family is very racist against African Americans and I know if it got to the point where I needed to tell them who I was dating they'd probably have a heart attack. My dad might even disown me. I'm also afraid of the judgement I know I'm going to get from his friends and my friends and I feel like especially now, the tensions in America are high for mixed race relationships.
Most guys in their 20's are total clowns. They just want to party and most of them are complete jerks who know they can just go on Tinder and get another chick whenever they want. Hopefully this doesn't come off bad, but I've especially seen this type of behavior in the white guys in my community. I would never say this if I didn't see it a lot, but I am and it makes me sad. It's genuinely deterred me from dating.
This guy seems different though and like he would really appreciate me and how hard I'm working and that we could support each other in our career and education goals.
I don't know what to do. I really want to give this guy a chance, but I also love my family and friends so much. I don't want to alienate myself and I don't want his friends to think badly of him either because I know there's a lot of negative stereotypes on both sides.

You guys could try dating in secret but that would be really hard and when your family finds out youve been keeping it from them theyll be even more angry.
Tell your family this, its 2017 and everything is changing and everyone is more accepting and they should be too. Not all african americans are the same and if they give the guy you like a chance they could see hes a pretty nice educated young man that will treat you right, if your family loves you they should accept your decision.

Is it socially acceptable? What do you think? (link)

Its not weird or creepy because you guys are only two years apart the only reason why its not socially acceptable is if you live in a country where the legal age is 18 then technically you are dating a minor but once that person turns 18 theres no problem anymore
