So, what's your story?
Are you dating, or wanting to date a Eurasian?
Do you consider Eurasians to be "your breed" thus you will settle down with one?
Or perhaps you only want to date white or asian depending on the opposite of what you are like.
I'm not really into stereotyping or forcing people into a "they will only date one kind of person" but this is based on preferrence and opinion.
Please Discuss!
For me: My girlfriend is eurasian and I find us to be a great match. Families just make sense, like she has one asian and one white parent, same as me (50/50). It's hard to explain, but it just seems right!
I have been out with a few different people, for instance, an asian acting asian girl, a westernized asian girl, and a white girl, but to be honest, it just never seemed "balanced".
Sometimes the asian girl would not fit in the white scene, and sometimes the white girl would feel uncomfortable if things got to asian day to day.
I did not actively seek to date a eurasian, I just couldn't help loving her.
But now that I think about it, it's great because it desensitizes you abit to EAness, and as such you end up just being, a couple.
Please offer your advice, input and discuss!
cheers

I would have voted Mixed if the option was there.

Sorry Phil, I tend to merge Mixed and Eurasian into the same thing. For future reference to this Poll thread Eurasian is combined in with Mixed.
Btw Phil, now that this forum knows you answered Eurasian/Mixed, all the girls here are going to swoon..
*I hear SWOONING from the sidelines!!!*

I wonder whether you would still prefer Eurasians if they didn't look like a typical Eurasian i.e. they look more Asian or more Western looking? Instead of your typical media stereotype of evenly mixed looking Eurasian. Be interesting to find out others views on this..
Or doesn't it matter as long as their Eurasian regardless of their ethnicity look?

Theres differing thoughts on this. Some have had such woeful experiences dating them they swear off dating EAs forever. However you tend to find the ones that care about being EA prefer to date EA if they can.
After my experience with one EA in particular I cant see myself with any other type of person. As you say you connect on the same level. The way you can talk about race particularly is very similar. On almost any level thats important to an EA you can connect on.
It also helps EA girls are usually extremely beautiful.

I find that being with a eurasian is like being with your brother/sister. For me, its weird to have a boyfriend of the same race as its not what I have been brought up with (parents not being of the same race). Its great having a eurasian friend, but to have a eurasian boyfriend... would be weird. Although you could argue that the term 'eurasian' is rather dense, as in there are many different types of eurasians, and that dating one would not be dating someone that is your own 'race', I believe that by the general connection that I develop with another eurasian is more sibling like... that could never generate into anything other than a close friendship...

I'm dating an EA.. and I'd most likely date one again as there are quite a few options here.
That being said, my bf is very english, and i'm apparently quite a bit chinese - attitude wise and the way we were brought up etc.. so being EA has not much to do with it.. except looks and having family abroad to skive free holidays from! My requirement for a bf is basically that he makes me laugh/entertaining and we get on and he treats me like a princess.. and is hot. ok, the latter not so much, but a bonus.

Seconded. When I see a hot EA, I feel proud. Not turned on.

EAs that have grown up their entire lives in australia tend to have less connection with their EAness, and hence wouldnt appreciate another ea partner as much. Theres always exceptions but thats what Ive generally noticed. EAs with world experience are very different to EAs who have grown up all their lives in one country.

I may be one of those exceptions as basically all of my best friends growing up have been EA, AND as soon as they all became exes, I moved to EAN and found myself an EA BFF :{D
