Is it O.K. to be intrigued by interracial couples?
Most of us in interracial relationships HATE the stares. I guess it’s because half the time they are stares of disgust; I guess it’s because sometimes the stares scream “traitor to your race.” But what if the stares are for a different reason?

What if I stare because I am happy for you? What if I stare at you because 40 years ago, interracial couples couldn’t be as free as you can be now? What if I stare because I am mixed race and I am happy that you will multiply and I will get to see “more of me” in the future? What if I stare because I admire and acknowledge your choice and decision to date who you want despite what society might think?
As Durrow puts it: "It’s O.K. to be intrigued" I guess and I am sorry if my stares may have offended some interracial couples. Being colorblind doesn’t mean that you pretend not to see interracial couples for fear of them getting offended. Sometimes, I think acknowledging them means acknowledging the fact that there are more such unions coming up. I think its O.K. to stare, extend a smile if you may.
It’s O.K. to be intrigued. And before you get offended that someone stared at you and your interracial love, think about it: They could be staring because they’re rooting for your colorful love. For me, that’s my reason for the stares.

Coaching Testimonial
"My online love inspiration angel"
Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21
To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.
I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.
BOY WAS I WRONG!!
I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).
She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.
She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".

I think it is OK to be intrigued, extend a smile, even start up a conversation with me to show your good intentions of your intrigue. That is no problem. But to stare? Hmm, glancing and staring are different things. Staring, I find that very rude. (Plus it could be dangerous, I've seen people walk into signs and tripping into potholes due to their staring.....LOL)
