It seems reasonable to conclude you believe they wouldn't approve of this relationship.  You should at least respect them enough to be honest with them, if you don't respect them enough to honor their wishes.

Your avatar does not look white to me, and it's cute.\n\nAfter all, they raised a son who would consider a black girlfriend.  And anyway, who says they don't like you, having never met you?\n\nDon't worry.  Be you.  You seem fine to me - you have introduced the guy to your folks and all that.  And your parents are right to wonder why you have not been introduced to his folks.  Talk to your boyfriend about your concerns, so he knows about that.  And let him know that it is time to meet them.\n\nThe son may fear that they have cultural/family issues and he doesn't want to confront that, or doesn't want to subject  you to that.  I now remember a line from a movie about this.  The mother says to the son, who is going to marry a black girl, "A fish may fall in love with a bird, but where are they going to make their nest?"  She meant she was fine with things, but was cautioning the son about the problems society would give them.\n\nWe have a lot less of that these days, thankfully.  And you seem like a fine person - a nice girl from a nice family, so remember that and you'll be fine.

well just let your parents know about him and let them see that you are a responsible adult by letting them know. you shouldn't hold it in and then they find out on their own and then it will all go down hill from there. that's my advice.

I think your mother is wrong to make you decide this based solely on racial differences. If this guy treats you good and is a respectable then your mother should put her bigotry aside.

I wouldn't say anything unless I was asked.  You could drop a few hints to your parents, like you want an iPod too, or something to that effect.  That way it takes the monkey off your back and puts it on them.  You still have your relationship with your bother, he's in trouble, and all is well again.

Sometimes parents don't understand ur feelings and they are only pertecting you I say go for it because if you really like this guy you should follow ur heart and date him tell ur parents you love him and tell them to get over it, nicely of course.

My brother is gay and he still hasn't told the whole family!  He's told a select few of us, and that's all.  However, he did tell both of our parents.  How he did this:  He took them out to eat and told them plain and simple.  I'm not sure how your family is, but my family is very accepting, and my parents didn't mind so much.  No offense, but if your family is any good - they already have a clue!  So the answer to your question?  The sooner, the better.  Take your folks out to dinner and ask them how best to tell the rest of your family.  Do not be afraid, and know that life goes on, no matter what might happen.  The world will continue turning.\n\nI hope this helps.

You should tell your parents first----just say it like it happened, no guilt or sadness, but with an attitude, "we are here, how do we move forward in the best manner possible? ". You are going to need their support as much as your BF's, and not knowing your financial situation, definitely you may need that as well.\n\nTell your BF later--if things don't go as you hoped, you will need a fall-back, and that is your parents, even though you are an adult.\n\nAs to baby's name: Michell\n\nGood luck.

Why tell everyone.Your sexual preference is no one's business,but yours.Family I can understand,but everyone will eventually fgure it out.If that is you,then who cares what they think. They will accept you or they won't.

I don't think it's much of their parents business unless they choose a partner of the same sex and they don't want to hide it from their parents... If that's the case I would say just be honest about it. Parents love you for you and even if they get upset at first, they will learn to except it.

Best thing is to only tell people you trust, like a close friend preferrably a girl, they seem to be more understanding than a typical guy friend. I wouldnt tell your parents just yet I would hold off until it feels right, it seems to me your learning about yourself right now and you found something that interests you, and it may be something that passes and it may not so I wouldnt alarm anyone just yet. Take a deep breath and think about what it is your looking for and go for it. When the newness wears off and your sure you will always be this way, then tell your family because then you will be more confident that this is how you are and they have to accept you. I have seen alot of parents go to the extreme when finding out their child is not as perfect as they hoped, or they have different looks on thier life than their parents expected, just something to think about. Lots of luck bud...

Tell your parents that you think they should get to know him. \n\nIs he willing to go through some uncomfortable meetings for you?  If he loves you, he should. \n\nOnce your parents realize that he loves you and is good to you and is not going to be a negative influence in your life (gosh, do they think he is some gangbanger or all black people are criminals- come on!) they should work toward accepting him.  Try to find out why they feel this way.  \n\nTry to do this the right way- by being honest with your parents.  I can't imagine what you're going through, and you need to understand that they may NEVER come around.  \n\nGood luck, honey!

You 2 are going to have some GORGEOUS babies!\n\nYou are still dating your own race.  Last I checked people of Hispanic descent were of the human race just like Caucasians, Asians, Black...etc.
