[quote=Anonymous]I’m a white American woman, and for the last couple years I’ve been dating men from other cultures and really enjoy it.

However, a common theme that pops up within the first few dates is their parents. Often parents have a lot of input on who they marry, and it’s pretty clear they would not approve of me since I’m not from their culture and don’t fit what their parents want (such as not wanting kids, even though many of these guys say they don’t really care about having their own kids, it’s mostly for their parents). One guy I dated even said that he’s never married because he would have to “go to war” with his parents to marry an American woman.

Is it even worth it to keep dating these guys? I know there’s the stereotype that they’ll string you along for months/years then dump you for someone their parents approve of, and I don’t really want to waste my time. But it also feels weird to me to dismiss them, even though the parent thing seems to come up every time. [/quote]
