Dear Panel,

My name is Marcus Joe and I am a 21 year old black male.

Her name is Jennie and she is a 17 year old white female.

We have been going out for 3 months now and her parents don't approve of interracial dating so we had to hide our relationship.

The first 2 months we were great and everything was fine. Last night she told me that she was torn between me and her parents. She said that she doesn't want to lose me, but she thinks that if she stays with me that she'll lose her parents.

I don't think that she should even be in that situation first of all, but I feel that if her parents are really there for her that they would come around when they see how happy she is being with me! I don't know what to do. Please Help!!!

What should I do because I don't want to lose her?
