Dear Sugar & Spice ... I met an incredible man who happens to be of a different race than me. He's white and I am black. We both share the same feelings for each other to the point that we both think we were made to be together. My close friends tell me I should move on while my heart says otherwise. Can mixed relationships last?

I am very happy for you, but stop looking at the world as 'black and white' since you'll miss out on all the gray -- that's the fun stuff! We are a blended society of races, cultures and religions, that I am hard pressed to label a relationship 'mixed.' Look at your own heritage and I bet it isn't made up of just one group of people. So forget what your friends say and let your heart lead the way. If your friends were really good friends, they would support you in whatever you do. And if they are still single criticizing your choice(s), tell them they can keep their reservation for a bitter table for one. Chime In | Meet Sugar

Girrrrllll, don't your friends know black women dating white men is the 'in' thing to do these days? Just check out the movie 'Something New' with Sanaa Lathan, or 'Guess Who' with Ashton Kutcher. Granted, dating someone of a different race can be difficult, especially with people around like your "friends" who don't approve of interracial relationships. But hey, all relationships have their challenges, and believe me, same-race relationships don't have a better chance of survival than any others. Now, you can let your friends talk you out of dating this ''incredible'' guy just because he's white if you want to, but it sounds like you need new friends to me, not a new man. Chime In | Meet Spice
