[quote=Anonymous]As a person who dated across racial, ethnic, religious and educational lines before finally settling down with someone from the same race and a different religion, I have to say it all comes down to compatibility.

Do I love DH? Yes. Did I first date him because we had mutual but decidedly superficial sexual attraction?  Of course we did. Why'd it last? We wanted the same things and grew together as a couple. Did any of this have to do with demographic data? Maybe, but so what? We've been happy together for two decades now.

Upshot: it's hard to find the right person. If you limit yourself demographically, it's that much harder. If you open yourself to true love from anyone, you may still wind up with someone with an almost identical demographic profile or somebody completely different according to the U.S. Census. However, you'll have a better chance of happiness if you put demographics aside and look for what you have in common in your hearts.

Sappy? Yes. Sentimental? Yes. True? Yes. [/quote]
