He kissed me… then told his roommate he wouldn't bring a black girl home?
I have a guy friend that I have known for a couple of years. We’re pretty close.. he lives on my floor in our dorm, we hang out pretty much everyday and have the same group of friends. He came with my family to India over the summer and also spent Christmas with my family because his parents were out of the county. Hell, he even made me soup when I was sick ( yes, It was out of the can but still…….. : D) Basically, were pretty close.
I have feelings for him, but I never told him because he lives down the hall and we have the same group of friends. I didn’t want to make things awkward if the feelings weren’t mutual. Friday a few of us went to a concert, afterward we ended up hanging out at the beach where he kissed me, said he had liked me for a while and told me that we were going on a date the next day. I went home on cloud nine. I had just spent my Friday night making out on the beach in the rain with the guy that I have liked for months . I couldn’t even concentrate on my paper because I was anticipating our date the next day .
I went to his room to copy some notes from one of his roommates and I hear my name come up. So I did what any normal human being would do if they heard their name come up in conversation.. listened. Some may call this eavesdropping! His roommate asked him what was going on with us. He responded saying( his exact words), "I don’t know…..I guess nothing. I wouldn’t bring a black girl home, my parents would have a heart attack." Not that this should make a difference, but I’m half Ethiopian half Italian and East Indian. The ironic thing is that the roommate actually called me an hour later and asked me if I wanted to go to a film festival with him that night.
He ( my friend) called me and left a message asking if we were still on for last night . I texted him back canceling and he asked why. I told him that I thought there was "nothing going on between us". He’s has been calling me since saying that he’s sorry and that he didn’t mean it like that. My roommate must have told him that I went home because he showed up at my parents house. I had my parents tell him I wasn’t there. ( Very immature I know, but I was upset. ). One of my dorm-mates told me this afternoon that his great or great great grandfather was a big shot confederate general in the civil war and that this is a big deal in his family. I do know he’s from a wealthy family from the south, but the Civil War was a looooong time ago. The only family member of his that I have met is his sister who is a modern day hippie. She just married a Spanish man a few months back and her parents where not at the wedding.
It’s one thing for his parents to feel that way, I wouldn’t hold it against him, but it’s another for him to say " nothing’s going on, I wouldn’t bring a black girl home" to his roommate. We both have the same open-minded diverse group of friends. We spend so much time together that our friends are always making some sort of joke as why we aren’t together yet. I feel hurt, he’s really the last person I expected something like this from. He was the one who kissed me, said he had feelings for me, he initiated it. I don’t want to sound like I have my nose up in the air but, I’m an attractive girl with a likable personality. I’m a bio-chem major with a 3.8 GPA at a top university. I come from a good family, both of my parents are MD’s . I’m not some drug dealing crack-whore that hangs out on the street corner at night. On Christmas morning when my uncle asked me who the "stray white kid" sleeping on my floor was, I told him exactly where he could go even though he was half joking.
I keep replaying what he said to his roommate over and over in my head and over and over again I feel hurt and confused, like someone just came up to me and slapped me for no reason and I’m trying to figure out why. My dad says that I should hear him out . At the least for the sake of our friendship, but unfortunately my stubbornness is one of my less endearing qualities. Am I blowing this way out of proportion? He and I have been good friends for years and normally I feel like we could talk about anything under the sun, but now I’m not so sure.
Yeah, I wish I were writing a novel. :X
Give it up. Write a novel.

Talk to him first, if its true move on, and be happy you fund out now, if not use this time to talk about his feelings and this issue. But don’t believe everything you hear. Could just be a jealous person.

Keep him as a friend and start dating guys who would not be ashamed to be seen with you nor afraid to bring you and meet his parents.

What is your question ?

Tell him in your culture, you really can’t move forward with a dating relationship until you meet his parents. Then watch him squirm. Then move on.

Willa has it RIGHT!

Your dad is right. You should hear him out.
Hes probably just young dumb and confused. Still under the influence of mommy and daddy. I don’t doubt that his feelings where genuine, but who know what’s going through his head. If you were good enough to be his friend, and he travels with your family and knows them then it’s weird that he would all of a sudden say something like that. You have to talk to him we cannot get inside his brain and tell you why he said that. I would tuck my heart safely away until you find out exactly where you stand with him. Good luck.

There’s no future with him. Cross him out of your life.
