Two people, they like each other, perhaps even are in love with each other. They are best friends, in college. And they are from completely different planets. She's white, he's black. From completely different economic backgrounds, different views on life, different goals, yet somehow the two people just click and understand each other. Maybe even better than they understand themselves. There's passion, compassion, and intimacy between them. They would do anything for each other.
But they have never mentioned their feelings to each other, it was always a big elephant in the room. Why? Because they are scared, what if it won't work out? What if what they have now will be ruined?
Can a long-term serious relationship exist between these two people? Or will their differences drive them apart?
You said from completely different planets, that means nothing to someone not you.
I can tell you that if you're really 19 like the question says you are, you've got plenty of time to figure shit like this out. So date him, see where it goes. Have fun, and when things start to get more serious, have serious discussions.
He may not be right for you. He may work out. The two of you might end up happily married or hating each other's guts.
But I can at least tell you that the relationship you described has a limited life span. Romantic tension destroys friendships, so either you go for it and risk destroying the friendship early, or you wait until he falls for someone else and gradually phases you out of his life (or vice versa) [ WittyUsernameHere's advice column | Ask WittyUsernameHere A Question ]
