I have dated a guy from Trinidad and a guy from Puerto Rico so different race or culture doesn't bother me but if a guy is very traditional, and that goes for traditional Irish guys too, as in thinking that they should be the provider and I should keep the house clean, then it will not work and that can happen a little more with some guys from different race/culture.
So I would not let race/culture interfere in my decision to date someone but if they turn out to be very traditional, the relationship won't last.
There was a guy I really liked but was sure that he fancied my friend so was happy to just be friends with him. One night I was talking to him outside a nightclub at the end of the night and he said that he had a book that he wanted me to have before he moved away later that week.
He lived not far from there so he suggested I come over and collect it then. When we got to his apartment the electricity had been shut off because technically he had been meant to move out that day but had stayed another night to go out one last time in our town.
He lit some candles and said it was in a box in his room so I followed him in. We sat on the bed chatting for ages and then he said that he wanted me to listen to a song by his favourite singer, John Mayer.
He got his discman (yes this was in the 90s!) and gave me the earphones and he pressed play. I closed my eyes and was lost in the beauty of "Your body is a wonderland". When it finished I said it was amazing and said I wanted to hear it again so started it playing and closed my eyes again.
Next minute he started to kiss me. I was in shock! He was much younger than me and I was so sure he had no interest in me. He told me that the reason he wanted me to hear that song was coz he always thought of me when he listened to it. So sweet.
He emigrated that week but was back a few months later and we got together a few times for years until he met the girl he later married but he will always be fondly remembered for such an accidentally romantic night.
I certainly don't miss the cold winters! Last time I was there though, I really enjoyed West Edmonton Mall!
That said if I was moving to Canada, Vancouver Island would be my location of choice. Fell in love with a place called Whippletree Junction there when I was 15 years old.
Thanks for all the heads up about the scammers. I was beginning to wonder about some of the people who had mailed me as their English was just a little off, enough to make me think it wasn't their first language and with strange locations in the USA too.
Thanks for flagging that up for me.
Also...I want to be Canadian again! I spent the first 3 years of my life in Edmonton and miss it.
I have loved irish bands forever from Mama's Boys,The Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers, That Petrol Emotion, Something Happens and The Stunning up to the more recent purveyors of good Irish pop such as Two Door Cinema Club and Little Green Cars.
