What do you think about mixed relationships? How can I handle this situation...?

Question

Ok. So me and my current boy friend have been dating for about a month now and literally EVERY time we go out to the movies, the grocery store, the mall, we get stared at A LOT. I'm Black and he's mixed with Caucasian and Hispanic but he looks more Caucasian. I've been in 2 other mixed relationships (both were less than 2 weeks long) but those were when I was in grade school and I don't really count those. My previous bf was Black and we dated for 2 years. I live near Houston, TX so I'm figuring that living in the south has something to do with it. Honestly, I love when people are in mixed relationships but it seems that a lot of other people still care. We get a lot of stares usually from older Caucasian people and Black males and females from what it seems like all ages. Negative attention is not going to change my feelings about my current bf because I really like him and both of our families accept that we are from a different race and don't care at all. I've been ignoring it this whole time but sometimes I just want to flick someone off! It's ridiculous. So you people who have been in a mixed relationship for a longer amount of time than I have, how did you handle the stairs and the comments? Thank you!

my opinion is, if you and YOURE FAMILY are okay with it then screw the rest! the reason why i said you and your family is because I'm mixed white, black, and hispanic.  I don't really look black and his family didnt even know. and when they did his brother would say the n word because they're racist..but they're not towards me.  They've goten better, but it's tough because he's close with his family and so am i.  It kind of ruined me wanting to stay the night there and all, but it's def gotten alittle better.

so if you and youre family are okay with it, then like i said, screw the rest, because when it comes down to it fhis amily will always be a part of your life too.  it can also be hard if he has friends that say the n word.  but, all you can do is live your life and be happy with him if thats who you love.  god mustve put him in your life for a reason

Im in a relationship where i too get stared at alot what i would do is when they stare give  your man a kiss or a hug or even a squeeze in the backside lol if they want to stare give them something to stare at . In this day and age none of that should even matter to anyone.
