Is it normal that im nervous to introduce him as my boyfriend?

I'm going to seem VERY shallow and maybe racist. But i used to live where there was all black people, however, about two years ago i moved to a state with mostly white people. Recently, i started 'secretly' dating this really tall black guy and i really really like him and he really really likes me. But hes black and thats cool because all my boyfriends have been black but i mean really super dark black. Im trying to judge him by his personality but im finding it hard not to be embarassed in front of people and he likes pda. He also wants me to introduce him to my parents. My parents arent racist but i know they and my brothers will make fun of him and me for dating him which always brings my selfesteem down. Help! Is this normal? To desire approval? How can i change it? ?

    What people think about you is none of your business. If he treats you right than they should be happy for you

    It is normal do desire approval. But if you're too embarrassed to introduce him to your family, then that's just being selfish. Who cares what others think, it only matters how you feel about him. You are shallow and, quite frankly, you don't deserve him. Racist.

      If she was shallow and racist do you honestly think she'd be with a black man?

    Lol honey.... so so sad. And what is the problem with being biracial? Your making it seem like it's your obligation to date a black because you live amongst them. Im asuming your white? And if you want a black go for it. They have the biggests cocks =D

  • You are so right! i just hate my family making fun of me and its not the fact that he's black, its the fact that hes pitch dark. but i really like him and it would be the exact same if he was super pale. i guess what they think doesn't really matter. hell they will have ta deal with it.i like him.

    • I don't think you're racist... You just seemed worried that your family is. Don't worry about them. You should give your boyfriend a heads-up about them though, so that he's not blind-sided by any surprise comments or behaviour from them.

      • That's exactly right!:) Thank you so much!!! I'm liking him more and more, but the only thing is he wants me to introduce him to my family, how do I let him know that I don't really want them to know just yet because they will be all in my business and it will just be harder for me to see him?
