Update:

I am no longer seeing that college guy, instead I recently started dating a new guy.

The new guy I am dating is so sweet. He is older then I am and respects me. During the last couple of weeks, we have been goin on many dates and he pays for all of them. The dates consits of either dinner (with drinks and desserts), movies and shooting pool, getting coffee and bagels, etc. They are really fun, but I feel bad because these dates are expensive and I am wondering if and/or when I should pay. I was raised in a very conservative family where the man pays for everything, but at the same time, I do care for him and want to be considerate. I am not too sure if he will allow me to pay though. So if/when should I pay?

On the other hand. We are an interracial couple. I am black, he is white (polish). My concern is that his family, specifically his mother would not be accepting of me. He stated that it’s not about his parents, but it’s about him and his happiness. Should I be worried ? Also, since there is such a racial war between white people and black people, how have you overcome negative biases towards it such as family/ friends criticizing the relationship, in addition to what society thinks if you have ever been in an interracial relationship.
