Does dating someone from outside your culture present difficulties? I've dated people from many different cultures, and from personal experience I can say it really didn't. Still, I caught this article about dating a non-Latino, and thought I'd throw the question out to all of you.

I've found personally that dating someone outside your culture gives you more opportunity to learn about the person. But I suppose it also depends on how different your beliefs are. You're more likely to stay together with someone long-term if you share the same ideas about faith, lifestyle, children, wealth, and family. You can be from a different culture and still share the same life goals. It's when the details about your cultural beliefs are contrary that there might be problems.

But that's just my opinion. What's yours?

Learning about someone's culture gives you the chance to see a different prospective. If you accept it, it can be the best thing in the world. It will give you a better understanding of who they are.

Culture is a big part of a person's character. But I think that politics and ideology are just as influential, if not more so.

It does seem that the bitterness between liberals and conservatives is greater now than it has been for a while. That's why there seem to be more and more of those politically oriented dating sites starting up.
