There are sooo many differences...even when you are from the same country or even the same tribe @Roc Naija - I agree that the differences do not make the relationship impossible...it is just another level of challenge @GG - Hahaha, laughing at the fact that you met someone who you fancied but are related to him...I do have a fear of that happenning one day @Anon – Oh Yes!

I am Ghanaian, but I do not choose my men based on colour or race, but based on their relationship with God. I was in a relationship with a Nigerian man for almost 6 years and to make it even harder it was long distance most of the time. I have also been in a relationship with a Carribbean guy. The last guy is Ghanaian and from my tribe. As to the cultural differences, to be honest we as the individuals in the relationship decide what to deal with but family and other people try to make you see a difference sometimes that really isn't there. Some families insist on same tribe. When most people you meet from your own tribe are practically related to you in some way. (had an encounter where met someone somewhere I was interested in and then found out there my direct cousin) LOL sad. What is the definition of culture anyway? Each individual, family, and groupings of a people defines their own culture. If you're someone like me who hasn't really grown up in one particular country your culture is a mixture of alot of life experiences. That being said I met many different guys who happened to share my views on what I consider my own personal culture from all sorts of diverse nationalities. So who knows what country my next guy might be from. Interesting……

My eyes have been opened!<br /><br />With that said, I am a black American married to a Ghanaian man....and there are sooooo many cultural differences. Not just food, or clothes, or language....but a lot related to the way that we think and see the world. Sometimes, its frustrating...but it has taught me to keep an open mind and explore our differences vs. assuming that I'm always right. Lol.

I think you should focus more on finding someone you like than where they come from. But I understand your point about part time dating and that would be a plus and I don't think you should let that hinder you from finding the "right now, right one".<br />Good Luck I am West African and the thing I can tell you is this, you don't have to get out of any of our countries to experience "cultural shock".
