http://moonlightbambii.tumblr.com

How did you two meet?

Greg- On tiny chat and after talking for awhile privately we found out we lived fairly close to each other

Shay- Tiny chat i was video whoring lmao!!! well Greg was 

What first attracted you to your partner?

Greg- Her smile how out going she was and how randomly fun she was to talk to she was just beautiful.

Shay- His nipples lol! no no he was really shy and cute.

Where was your first date?

Greg- Well Shay was scared to meet me at first since we met off tiny chat and only skyped al day everyday so she made me meet her at the zoo

Shay- The zoo i was scared me might be a rapist lol you know be a different person then what i talked to online and on the phone 

How and when did you guys officially become a couple?

Greg- After the first date i txted her and told her she was going to be mine

Shay- We made it official after the second date he kept harassing me telling me we wer going to get married one day and i might as well date him and stop wasting time

One of the things most AMBW couples have in common is that they feel they get a ton of stares. Does this happen to you guys as well?

Greg- Yes it happens all the time and i used to get worried shay would take offense to it especially from the older Asian women who usually make comments but when i saw that it didn’t bother her i was fine.

Shay- Omg yes! all the time like we are aliens but then again we get a lot of people asking about our relationship as well ie… some black women will pull me aside and ask how we got together and how they can meet a Asian man.

What do your parents (both sets) think of your relationship?

Greg- My parents love shay. she makes them laugh all the time they tell me its the best decision i ever made creating a family with her

Shay- They hate his guts! no lol they love him but my dad always does the Asian jokes to greg which makes him a little upset and results in a beer ping drinking match with all of us  -.- i lose of course

What is the most romantic thing you’ve done for each other?

Greg- It’s a little cheesy but shay loves shinee so i bought her tickets to their concert but before giving them to her i danced to a shinee song in heart boxers

Shay- I saved forever and took greg on a cruise just me and him alone and basically catered to him for the couple days on the cruise 

 

What is the craziest things you guys have done together?

Greg- Everyone knows me and shay do pranks on each other but i’d say the craziest was when i convinced shay to run down the street naked with a ninja turtle backpack 

Shay- Shooting my dad with paintball guns because we wer acting out black-ops lol ( we are weird)

What is biggest issue you two have faced as a couple and how did you get through it?

Greg- Id say because shay is so outgoing and im the opposite that was our biggest hurdle she would always want to go out and have fun and do crazy things and it took her awhile for her to realize i don’t have to do everything with her 

Shay- When i lived 5 hrs away and greggy was so clingy and wanted to know what i was doing when i was doing it i remember coming home from work and he yelled at me because i didn’t log on skype as soon as i got home lol and he would always think i was going to leave him because of his back injury

Greg- You would have if another sexy asian HEALTY man came 

Shay- Maybe minho from shinee yes lol

What are your favorite things about each other?

Greg- Her smile, her ambition, her personality

Shay- His personality, his drive, how he’s so protective and cares about protecting those who are dear to him

Have you ever received any offensive comments about you two as an interracial couple? If so, what was your reaction?

Greg- I always get i’m stealing away all the good black women and i kinda shrug it off not my fault she likes my Asian persuasion 

Shay- Omg yes from all the old Asian ladies and some Asian girls. and i usually respond with love doesn’t have color

Has life changed since having your daughter? If yes, how so?

Greg- Shay becoming more crazy and using the baby as a shield i’d have to say yes. 

Shay- Omg yes i never cared about kids but now i have so much love for her i want her to have the best so i have calmed down on wanting to go out and party and have adventures now i look for things thats fun for the family.

Do you have any advice for those looking for love?

Raquel Xu & Crane Xu

Raquel: youtube.com/prettybish08

             https://twitter.com/kittysmitepower

 Crane: twitter.com/oakland43

How did you two meet?

We met through facebook :)

What first attracted you to your partner?

Raquel: Physically I was attracted to the fact that he was on the tall side (for an Asian guy, he’s 5`11). Also he has a cute baby face which I love. Personality wise, I was instantly attracted to the fact that he wasn’t thirsty like most guys these days tend to be on social networks. He was very laid back and didn’t try to hard to find something in common. He just let our conversation flow.

Crane: She was beautiful and I felt she was different from other women that Ive dealt with. She seemed more mature and that instantly attracted. 

Where was your first date?

We went to the movies to see Batman: Dark Knight Rises

We both have a love for Batman and we now own a massive Batman DVD collection lol

How and when did you guys officially become a couple?

Raquel: After about a week of constant conversation and texting and hours upon hours of phone conversation I felt I was really into him and I had to swoop him up. I kind of threw the hint out there of becoming exclusive and he then went for then kill lol

One of the things most AMBW couples have in common is that they feel they get a ton of stares. Does this happen to you guys as well?

If it does happen we don’t notice. My Mom (Raquel’s) say we just look good together we compliment each others appearance so I don’t think in public we stick out like a sore thumb. Besides Crane isn’t fobby or anything hes pretty urban. The only time we might get stares is when we go out to dinner with Crane’s parents. They are so tiny and short , and Crane and I are both tall we just like funny lol

What do your parents (both sets) think of your relationship?

Well we are married now, so both parents are very fond of our relationship and are very supportive. 

Raquel: My family wasn’t so supportive in the beginning, but when they seen how good of a person Crane was and how much I was in love with him they started to embrace him and us as a couple now. They are totally team Craquel lol

Crane: My parents are supportive of our relationship, as long as we are both happy and love each other and be a successful good family together.

What is the most romantic thing you’ve done for each other?

Raquel: For us, I think no matter what we always remember to make time for each other. Our life is pretty hectic now with a newborn and Crane works so much but no matter what we find a way to spend time together and remind each other how much we love each other. Even if its setting a night aside and lighting some candles in our bedroom and watching Netflix together <3

What is biggest issue you two have faced as a couple and how did you get through it?

Crane: Our biggest issue is Raquel being more comfortable around my family because they’re English is very limited so she often feels left out if we are having a family conversation. Also, she doesn’t like alot of Chinese dishes, so that makes its pretty awkward when my family cooks for us because they don’t know how to prepare alot of American dishes.

Raquel: I co-sign!

What are your favorite things about each other?

Raquel: I love the fact that he never tells me “No” lol. If he cant make something happen he always finds an alternative way to get the same result. He also is a very devoted lover, he is always about us, and our family. Hes never been selfish not once in our relationship and marriage. I also love that he has the best of both worlds. He is very in touch with his Chinese culture and can speak Mandarin fluently, but he is also is very urban and he can fit in with black people very well. He doesn’t even speak with an accent. 

Crane: I love how she doesn’t judge me for mistakes Ive made in my past and she loves for me who I am. I also love the fact that we have very good and open communication and nothing is out of bounds. And she does whatever it takes to make me happy.

Have you ever received any offensive comments about you two as an interracial couple? If so, what was your reaction?

Raquel: Sometimes, Ill get some females asking about his penis size, which is incredibly rude to me. They always want to know if its true if all Asians have small penises. I tell them why don’t you date an Asian guy and find out for yourself. Also, I always get comments saying “Why is your husband Chinese?” people find it so odd that I would be attracted to an Asian man because I’m black”

Crane: I don’t hear any offensive comments on my end lol

When did you guys get married? Was it the way you imagined? 

We got married on Christmas of 2012. We had planned for a big wedding but we didn’t want to have to wait forever to save up for it. So we had a small intimate wedding instead and it was beautiful and everything we could have asked for. In a couple years we plan to renew our vows in China and have a Chinese style wedding with Crane’s side of the family .

Do you have any advice for those looking for love?

Crane: Be yourself. Don’t change who you are just to impress the other gender, they re either going to like you or not like you. Either way its not a loss to you!

Raquel: Know what you want in a relationship and what you’re willing to tolerate, and don’t settle for less. Love doesn’t hurt, and you shouldn’t have to ever feel like you’re bugging the person you’re dating! Communication should be equally established

Ciara & Kevin

How did you two meet?

Ciara - Kevin was the new kid in the neighborhood that we used to live in. We saw each other all the time, but never really talked to each other. But we had a mutual friend that helped us get to know each other better. 

Kevin - All the props go to our friend, Brandon. Without him, I wouldn’t have got the courage to talk to Ciara.

What first attracted you to your partner?

Ciara - He was…different! He was just so quiet all the time, and he was kind of awkward, but in a cute way.

Kevin - She was really bold and competitive with all our friends in the neighborhood which made her seem edgy, but at the same time she was really nice and friendly, which made her seem cute and adorable. Also she has these stunning eyes…!!

Where was your first date?

Ciara - Well the first time we ever went anywhere together was when we went to a basketball game with our friends at our high school. 

Kevin - Our first time going out together by ourselves was when we went to see a movie. Fast Five!

How and when did you guys officially become a couple?

Ciara - Well…we were just hanging out after school together one day, and we both just kind of kissed each other out of nowhere. And ever since that happened, we just sort of knew we were together, even though neither of us really asked each other out or anything.

Kevin - Yea that’s pretty much what happened, although for the record, I did ask her if she wanted to be my girlfriend….four months later…

One of the things that most AMBW couples have in common is that they feel they get a ton of stares. Does this happen to you guys as well?

Ciara - Sometimes. Most of the stares come from the kids at school, or really older people that see us in public. At least that’s what I’ve noticed.

Kevin - Yes, I see stares everywhere. But people would even admit that when they see us in the hallways, they think we’re adorable.

What do your parents think of your relationship?

Ciara - At first, my mom was surprised that I was even interested in Asian guys. But she was really surprised that Kevin was interested in me! She has her worries sometimes, but only because she doesn’t want me to make bad decisions and get distracted from school and stuff like that.

Kevin - My mom technically doesn’t want me dating any girls at the moment. It’s not because she doesn’t like Ciara or anything, she doesn’t want me to lose focus on future goals and not make bad decisions.

What is the most romantic thing you’ve done for each other?

Ciara - Our song is Don’t Change by Musiq Soulchild, so I bought him these nice Nikes and got the words Don’t Change stitched on them.

Kevin - She was extremely stressed out one day, so I cooked her a meal and just let her fall asleep in my arms as we watched cartoons together. 

What is the biggest issue you two have faced as a couple, and how did you overcome it?

Ciara - I think long distance is our biggest issue. I’ve never been in a long distance relationship before, and I never planned on being in one either, but I loved this guy too much to just let him go after an amazing year we had together. It’s a pain trying to talk because our schedules are crazy and even though technology is a blessing, it can sometimes be a curse! But we are managing, and when we do get to see each other, we make the best out of every minute!

Kevin - Long distance is truly a struggle for the both of us because we used to be able to see each other every day, and now we barely see each other at all. Another issue, at least for me, was jealousy. I was jealous of her ex boyfriends, her guy friends, and there was this one guy who was constantly hitting on her. But I got over my jealousy by trusting her, and knowing that she would tell me anything, and that she would never treat me wrong.

What are your favorite things about each other?

Ciara - He allows me to be myself when I’m with him. And we’re both really childish so I always have a lot of fun when I’m with him. Also he’s very supportive and encouraging, and even though we’re far apart right now, he still tries his hardest to make me feel like his princess.

Kevin - I love how we’re just so comfortable with each other and how easily we just click together, you know? Her cute side makes me want to hold her in my arms forever and not let anything bad happen to her, but then her competitive side spices things up and makes things interesting :)

Have you two ever received any offensive comments about you two as an interracial couple? if so, what was your reaction?

Ciara - I’ve never received any offensive comments personally, but I do get a lot of stereotypical questions! At first the questions they would ask were really funny and ridiculous, but after a while, they get really repetitive….

Kevin - Not really. I’ve been getting a lot of compliments though when I tell people I have a black girlfriend!

Do you have any advice for those looking for love?

Ciara - Never let other people’s opinions hold you back! Do what makes you happy, and don’t settle for less. Also for long distance, patience is key! Issues get ten times harder to deal with when you’re apart, so remember to be patient with each other; especially when you have to go long periods of time without talking to each other. :(

Kevin - Love will hit you randomly. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting to date anyone at the time, then out of nowhere Ciara and I just clicked, and we got along really well. And now we’ve been dating for almost two years…and I’ve never been more happier knowing she’s all mine. So I guess my advice would be, don’t rush or force anything; if it’s meant to be, it’ll happen naturally, and then one day it’ll slap you in the face that you’re in love.

Corrin & Donny

pocketsofpokemon.tumblr.com 

How did you two meet?

Corrin: One day in my freshman year ( I was 14) and his sophomore year (he was 16), after school he was sleeping in the pick-up area. His mom was calling for him, but he didn’t hear her. So to wake him up I …kicked him. LOL . then from there we just began talking a little more.

Donny: Long story short, I was sleeping, she kicked me, I fell in love.  

How and when did you guys become a couple?

Corrin:We had been talking more than we did at school throughout the summer; non-stop on Facebook and Gmail. In September after we went to Dragon Con, he was so shy and he asked me if I “want to give this dating thing a try” lol. We’ve been together ever since, & that was September 6, 2011.

Donny:I think we became a couple long before the formality was ever asked, and we got to that point after talking more and more, first through Facebook, then in person. I think we were really a couple after the 1st 2 months I believe, when I told you that I loved you.

Corrin: Yeah he’s right, we were actually a couple long before September, or at least we acted like it. We formally became a couple in September XD

Where do you live? Do you get stares?

Corrin: We live in Duluth, GA . We get stares depending on where we go. Our school is so diverse that typically we don’t get stared at, except for those few Asian fobs or football players XD. When we go out, I tend to get stared at pretty hard by a lot of Asian females lol

Donny: Yes we do get stares at times, but I ignore them. I know they’re all jealous of what we have :D

Where was your first date?

Corrin: Our first date was at this little pizza parlor by the movie theatres. We planned to see a movie that day, but the times were all messed up. So instead, we had dinner at the pizza parlor & enjoyed each other’s conversation (:

Donny: Our first date was at Romeo’s pizza. We had wanted to see a movie at first, but the times didn’t match up, so we spent the whole time eating pizza and talking to each other instead

What do your parents (both sets) think about your relationship?

Corrin: My mom and dad are both very accepting of our relationship. Donny recently got to meet a few of my family members when they came from Chicago for my older sister’s graduation. All my siblings and my family love him.

Donny: My parents currently don’t know about our relationship, I’m afraid they won’t be accepting of the relationship. I know they aren’t accepting of the idea of me dating girls from other races. I plan to tell them when prom comes around.

Whats the most romantic thing you’ve ever done for each other?

Corrin: The most romantic thing I’ve done for him was on one of our anniversaries, I drew him a picture of us. I was feeling bad because I couldn’t get him something better, but he just loved that picture so much, I felt it was pretty special.

Donny: The most romantic thing I’ve done for her is for Valentines day, I asked her once she got to school to go get my math book out of my locker for me, but in my locker was a stuffed animal, some roses, a card, and my iPod playing our song.

What’s your favorite thing about each other?

Corrin: My favorite thing about Donny is that he’s incredibly smart & I love his sense of humor. He has all A’s in all AP classes, is now a senior in high school, working towards going to Emory and other top colleges … he just has so much ambition. And although at his graduation I’m going to cry and be devastated that he’s leaving, I know he’s going to do great things & go to great places.

Donny: My favorite thing about Corrin is that she is everything that I have ever hoped for or could have wanted. Everything about her is just too good to be true. When I’m stressed or down, I know she’ll always make things bright. When I need someone to talk to, she’ll be there to listen. Her beauty comes from her personality and from her physical appearances, but I like her personality more. She is so compassionate and so caring; she is the direct opposite of me. She has such am amazing passion and drive for her interests that I wish I had. I admire how committed she can be. Corrin also looks very good. :D

Have you ever received any offensive comments about you two as an interracial couple? If so, what was your reaction?

Corrin: There have been things said to me individually about how I need some uh … black “company” in my life, if you get what I mean? Lol. But besides that no one has said anything else to me. For the most part I get many compliments on our relationship.

Donny: I haven’t heard any offensive comments. Everyone I’m around is respectful. The most offensive thing I’ve experienced is staring.

Do you have any advice for those seeking an AMBW relationship?

Corrin: Don’t ever worry about if an Asian guy won’t like you because of your race. You never know. When I first met Donny, I honestly didn’t think he’d date a black girl, but hey, look at him now, he’s been dating me for a little over a year. If you see a guy you like, just go for it (:

Donny: Go for it, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Not even your parents. Be open to everyone around you, because you never know who you’re going to end up with. 

Ashleigh & Kerry

Kerry: http://chopstix5985.tumblr.com/

Ashleigh: http://www.youtube.com/user/ashdiggity2001?feature=results_main

Ashleigh:He didnt notice me cause he was too busy being angry at his ex. Only when he found out we were from the same place he really started talking to me.

Kerry:Her smile, her personality and her body. She makes me laugh smile and feel good. 
Ashleigh:His smile, his hands and his arms. They are all so yummy.

One thing most AMBW couples have in common is that most feel that they get stared at quite frequently, do you guys feel the same?

Kerrry:I know for a fact we get stared at. By all outside parties lol. but it doesnt affect us. or how we are towards each other in public. Peoples business will be there business. im not gonna change up nothing because they got a staring problem. We arent some kind of new species. i dunno why people are staring at us. LOL
Ashleigh: The only time I really notice anything is when we are in the club. Most of the stares come from African-American men.

Have you ever received any offensive comments about you two as an interracial couple? If so, what was your reaction?

Kerry:Honestly i have never recieved any negative comments physically. online on like youtube and stuff you have trolls and stuff. but other then that, not that i can think of. 
Ashleigh:Really only get negative comments on Youtube. I just delete them and keep going.

I know you guys have a youtube channel, what advice do you give to other AMBW couples who are thinking about starting one themselves?

Kerry:Just be yourself. Dont try to change for anyone. Words will be words. People will always hate on you. The world is the biggest misperfection. So dont fall victim to it. Just be yourself and enjoy each other’s company.
Ashleigh:Also, keep the videos interesting and dont give out too much personal informations cause you got creepers all over the internet.

Do you have any advice for those seeking an AMBW relationship?

Kerry: Just be who you are. Thats the best advice i can give. He/She will like the person you are. Dont try to be something you’re not. Just be you. Thats all I did. Thats all i have ever done. Now im lucky enough to have a beautiful girlfriend. 
Ashleigh: He said it all.

Kevin & Sheree

How did you two meet and when did you guys officially become a couple?

We first met through FB on Dec. 2009, but we were just FB “buddies” and left short comments and we lost touch from mid 2010 to mid 2011. However, we reconnected on July 2011 and we engaged in longer conversations through FB chat, then eventually talking on the phone. We were officially a couple on 9-13-2011. 

Where do you live? Do you get stares?

California (Kevin). Virginia (Sheree).

Honestly, we don’t notice any stares when we go out in public but notice that people are friendly. For example, we went to a restaurant in San Francisco, and a random couple that sat next to us voluntarily took a photo us. Also, we had a woman took a photo of us at a grocery store!

Where was your first date? 

Our first date was at De Young Museum in San Francisco.

What do your parents (both sets) think about your relationship?

Our parents were very open and happy about our relationship!

Whats the most romantic thing you’ve ever done for each other?

Kevin: Picking her up at the airport on her birthday when and where we first saw each other and had our first kiss at the waiting area just outside the gate. Also, I had bought her balloons and two gifts. She loved it!!

Sheree: Sending him the very first card that explained how I truly felt for him and he really loved it!! He was so surprised and very happy!!

What features are you most attracted to when it comes to your bf/gf?

Kevin: The objective features I am most attracted to are her lips, eyes, hair, and skin. The subjective features I am most attracted to are her openness and understanding because she never judges me even when we have differing views on some issues. Also, she is always full happiness and humor and this is what I deeply love about her.

Sheree: I am attracted to Kevin’s eyes, his lips, and his hands. I am also attracted to his intelligence, his good sense of humor, openness, and genuine loving character. He is the best boyfriend EVER!

Have you ever received any offensive comments about you two as an interracial couple? If so, what was your reaction?

No, not to our knowledge.

Do you have any advice for those seeking an AMBW relationship?

Don’t be afraid to love someone who is culturally different. You may find out that you will have a lot to learn and grow from one another. Also, never let external influences judge your relationship and do not worry about the stares because that means you are doing something right!

Sheree, you started DCAMBW which lead to bwamu2, numerous facebook groups, meetups, the AMBWUNITE youtube and even my blog, did you have any idea that your website would make such an impact on so many people?

No, I had no idea! We started with a small group back in 2008, and I was unsure if there would be enough interest to keep the site going. Fortunately, there were many people interested in learning about and pursuing AM/BW relationships, which caused a later expansion of the site to people outside of the Washington, DC Metro Area…even across the world. Although DCAMBW closed, there were still many up-and-coming groups on other social networking sites. I was excited to find people were establishing facebook groups, hosting meetups, writing blogs, making youtube videos, and creating genuine long lasting friendships and relationships with people they met through AM/BW groups on social networking sites.

What advice do you give to those wanting to start an AMBW website, or contribute to something AMBW related?

The advice I would give is for that person to be dedicated to whatever project they’re investing their efforts into, 100%. I had no idea I’d be spending most of my days on DCAMBW designing, fixing site issues, reading feedback 

Chibi & David

How did you two meet and when did you guys offically become a couple?

Through a mutual friend, we became a couple May 10, 2011

How did you deal with being in a long distance relationship? Do you feel that it has made your relationship stronger? 

We skyped a lot and spoke on the phone EVERYDAY (literally), yes it definately has because we value each others presence more than the average couple for sure

What made you decide to move in together? Was it a hard decision? 

Just the fact that we were madly in love and couldn’t deal with being apart any longer, and no the decision was quite simple.

What’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done for each other? 

Chibi- The first time david came out to Maryland to see me

David-  Just us spending time together

What do your parents (both sets) think about your relationship?

David- My parents are slowly (very slowly) coming around

Chibi- My dad is coming around, once he knew how serious David felt about me.

What features are you most attracted to when it comes to your Bf/Gf?

Chibi- David has a lot of features that I truly love about him such as his humor, consideration, his huge amount of respect for me, and definitely his sincerity

David-Chibi’s features that I adore are her cheekbones, personality, and quite frankly, I love everything about her. 

One thing most AMBW couples have in common is that they feel like they get stared at quite frequently, do you guys feel the same? 

David doesn’t really care and its nothing new to him… I’m not the first black women he’s been with… but for me bugs me because I hate disrespectful and ignorant people

Have you ever received any offensive comments about you two as an interracial couple? If so, what was your reaction? 

Chibi-Yes of course… especially from black men ALL THE TIME and OG Asian folks, David brushes it off, but me… I’m more verbal, if you know what i mean. 

Do you have any advice for those seeking an AMBW relationship? 

Chibi- We are human so don’t go in with stupid fetishes and stupid stereotypes and go in it without holding back.

David- Just build up confidence and its what you make it. Just always be true and go in with your eyes open.

Where did you guys meet?

We officially met April 26 2009 [yes I still remember lol] at the old Chinatown Fair arcade. I noticed that he was this guy who had been making racial jokes a previous night and I said hi. He told me that he then saw my butt lol so he came in to talk to me. Soon after flirting and talking a bit we exchanged numbers and began dating soon after :D

Where do you live? Do you get stares?

We live in Bensonhurst together. We get some stares but WAY more when we get on the train or when we we’re in Manhattan. Older Asian people stare a lot and even one older couple were literally pointing at us. Since I’m black, a lot of black guys look at us and hate. It’s annoying. A lot of them make it seem like because I’m black and very curvy that’s it’s almost blasphemy to be with an Asian guy. *shrug*

Where was your first date?

Date..hm….the day we officially met a group of us ate at a Vietnamese restaurant. So I guess that’s a date lol

What do your parents (both sets) think about your relationship?

My mom doesn’t care about him being Asian at all. His mom and dad were different though. I know his mom would have rather he been with an Asian girl, or at least someone lighter skinned. Trust me, I know. But I think his mom likes me better, I’m sure his dad likes me too :]

Whats the most romantic thing you’ve ever done for each other?

Umm…..well the most romantic thing I can think of is that we were each other’s “first”. Pretty sweet if you ask me :] lol But anything other than that I don’t know. It’s been over 3 years so I can’t remember xD

Whats your favorite thing about each other?

Well I know that my favorite thing about him is his eyes. I say that his eyes are gentle, but he doesn’t really care for that lol
I’m sure his favorite thing about me is my big butt lol He also says that he loves how caring I am.

Have you ever received any offensive comments about you two as an interracial couple? If so, what was your reaction?

I heard a black guy in Chinatown yell “There is no way he is hitting that!” or something like that. I get very annoyed, but I’ve learned to laugh it off. Their jealousy is amusing.

Is this your first interracial relationship?

I dated a half Black half Hispanic guy before. And this isn’t James’ first either.

Do you see a lot of this pairing where you live?

I’ve seen it sometimes, but it doesn’t happen often. I think a lot of Asian guys are afraid to approach black women and vice versa. But luckily groups that cater to AMBW relationships make it easier for them to meet.

Do you have any advice for those seeking an AMBW relationship?

Just do what makes you happy. There will be people who won’t approve, maybe even your own family. You must have thick skin. But if your love is strong then no one can stand in the way.
