My family dosnt believe in interracial relationships!
Question Posted Saturday February 4 2017, 7:15 pm
I am a 27 year old female and I have a date with this guy that I have been talking to for a week in the phone he seems like a really sweet guy and I think I am going to like him and I already can't seem to get off the phone with him . We are going to church at my church and then out to eat afterwards, but the thing is I don't know how to bring it up to my dad's side of the family mainly my aunt because he is black and they don't believe in interracial relationships. How do I go about introducing him to my family he is already talking about wanting to meet them .How do I explain to him that they don't agree with interracial dating?
Your family is going to see you walking into church together and leaving together. It would be better if you addressed the elephant that is going to be in the church before you get there by telling them beforehand. You say your Aunt is the main concern. Being your Aunt she is one of your parents’ sister. Whichever parent your Aunt is sister to is the one you should go to and inform of your new relationship and ask how to approach your Aunt.
IF I was your father and my sister was the concern. I would tell you to let me handle your concern. I would know my sister best and know how to tell her and to tell her it is none of her business who you date. You’re 27, an adult and free to do as you please, which by the way is all true.
