I’ll keep it nice and simple. A few weeks ago I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and talking to a SAW. We’ve been talking consistently and seem to have a lot in common, we make each other laugh, all the classic signs to ask someone out. I have confirmed that she would say yes if I asked her out, so I’m not fearful of that aspect. Rather, I don’t know if I should ask because of future implications.
By that, I mean the reaction from her family and my own. We’re both no religious and perhaps that’s too far out to consider, but it’s still a relevant factor I think. My family would be fine for the most part, but it’s hers that I worry about. Culturally, for SA folks, I know it can be seen as taboo or bad to be with a BM, and I wouldn’t want to risk our relationship (romantic or otherwise) due to that stigma. I may just ask her about it during our date…
But I could have phrased this better, but I think the point I’m trying to make comes across all the same. What are your thoughts on the matter?
Edit: I should add, I live in Maryland.
