This love feels "different" |
   |
|
I just recently started dating a man that I met on line a year ago. He is white, and I am black. He appears to be my "everything" in every way imaginable... but he said that I am different than any other that he has ever dated, and it goes far beyond the color of my skin. He claims that "different" is not a bad thing and continues to treat me like a princess. Regardless, his comment has left me to wonder what the difference REALLY is. He is not ashamed to be in public with me, show me off to his friends and family or talk about me constantly to others. Should I just let go of the comment and enjoy this new and refreshing type of love that I have encountered, or do you see some red flags? |

sweetone:I am white, and I had a white guy say "You're different than any girl I have dated." Then he added, "I'm used to all the guys staring at the girl I walk through the door with." I guess he thought other guys must not find me attractive since they were not staring at me. I was dressed conservatively and I was wearing my coat. I knew that his exgirlfriends dressed really slutty. I only went out with him that once. He is the one who asked me out in the first place. But I think the guy you are talking meant the comment as a compliment instead of an insult. I just wanted to give you an example so you know that comment is not a racial comment.

soooo, would you prefer that he had said "you are just like every other woman i have dated." no. why? because he's not with them anymore. when he says you are different, that's a good thing. hell, you say that this type of relationship is new and refreshing. it could be described as different. right??
quit stressing and enjoy this nice man who takes you to meet his friends and family and treats you like a princess. don't ruin a good thing by obsessing about silly comments like that.
