1. Have Self Confidence
Of course, the very first out of 8 dating tips for interracial couples is going to revolve around having self confidence in yourself and your relationship. You want to believe in your relationship, otherwise why be in it? A relationship should be built on love, not what other people think or say. Remember that and be confident in what you are building together!
2. Nobody Can Tell You Who to Love
Nobody in the world can tell you who to love, no matter what. If you fall in love with someone Asian and you are white, that's okay! If you fall in love with someone black and you are Indian, that's okay too! It is not about what color your skin is or where you come from, and don't ever let anyone tell you that it is.
Frequently asked questions
3. Don't Pay Attention to the Public
No matter what the public says or the looks that you get, don't worry about it. You love one another and you are stronger than that. In this generation, interracial couples are not the minority anymore, so just remember, you are not alone in the world and you should flaunt your relationship!
4. You Are More Likely to Survive Hard Times
When you are in an interracial relationship, typically you will be able to survive a lot of hard times and it will make you stronger. The reason is because already, just being together, you are overcoming a lot of obstacles! So remember, the next time you two get into a fight, it will be okay and you will survive it!
5. Don't Worry about the Old-Fashioned
I know that there are a lot of old-fashioned people out there that have their beliefs and are sticking to them. I'm gay and I face a lot of that already, but just because you are with someone that is different from you, that doesn't meant that you have to cater to the old-fashioned ideologies. Don't worry about it; just be proud of your relationship and your love for each other!
6. No Awkwardness
While you might not understand some of the things that your partner does, because of maybe their religion or because of where they grew up, that doesn't mean that you have to be awkward about it. If you are dating an Indian and you are white, why not learn a bit about their culture and what makes them do and be the way that they are?
7. Know the Person You Are Dating
This actually applies to all relationships in the world – why not know the person that you are dating? Know them inside and out, know what makes them tick. This will make sure that you survive and that your relationship is that much stronger, no matter what!
8. Strong Foundation
Finally, the last dating tip for interracial couples that I have really, again, applies to all relationships. You've got to have a really strong foundation in your relationship to stay together and to survive anything and everything. My girlfriend and I are very strong and both know that we are not going anywhere.
So, if you are in an interracial relationship, have you ever faced any of these? What tips did you use? How did you stay strong?

bc: i need some help, i am a guy that stumbled into this website
Anonymous: thank you for writing this! i'm white and my boyfriend is black and my parents are very old fashioned :/ it's so refreshing to see that people DO approve and think that all relationships are beautiful.
Raffi: Reading this is so weird for me. I was born and raised in New York City and no one even blinks if you're an interracial couple. So it's strange to believe there are places in America where it's still considered taboo.
bc: hello? is anyone here? if not nevermind
sassy-girl: agree
Jennie: Dear Heather, Love the interracial tip! But does it work if you're dating a guy of a different religion?
Derika: I am a biracial child and in an interracial relationship. I loved this article because in the town I grew up in I heard quite a bit that I should only date within my race or guys couldn't date me because their parents wouldn't approve of the relationship. It's nice to know that someone else cares and thinks about the way it still affects people at times.
