I nearly married a Yemeni girl that lived in Israel. We met when she was traveling around the US to visit/instruct at Jewish cultural centers, as her official duties for the Israeli Army.

I was a photojournalist that was assigned to a feature story about the centers' summer programs, and as it turned out, she was the assignment... I was so intrigued by her education, knowledge and background, that I asked to get together with her that evening just to continue our discussions (I had no other intentions). Well, evening progressed into night and then into morning, and our conversations never ended. When I went to leave, we kissed, but from that one kiss, fell deeply into love with each other.

A few days later, I met up with her in New York City, where we spent every waking moment together, and began planning out the rest of our lives. After spending the next month traveling around the country as a tourist, she returned to Haifa. We immediately started making plans for me to move to Tel Aviv. I received my passport, and even had a job lined up with Associated Press, when we decided to hold off for a couple of months so that I would be able to spend Christmas with my family. During this time, fighting had escalated to unprecdented levels, and the journalists started to be taken as hostages. We also started to come to the mutual realization that while we were madly in love and had each received the blessings and support from our respective families, the cultural differences would be very difficult for either of us to fully overcome... It tore us up to make the "right decision", but we did remain very close friends for a number of years following.

When my wife and I became engaged, I wrote Yarona to tell her about my new found happiness and to tell her all about Cathy. She responded with a very meaningful and heartfelt letter, as well as a seperate letter addressed to Cathy. In her letter to my wife, she stated essentially what I posted above, and also that after several years, she too had met another man and was to finally be married. That was the last we ever communicated, but I think about her often.

I've been involved with women from three races other than my own (Arab, Native American, African American).

Sorry, I cant help but point out - "Arab" is not a race.

all (humans) the same race?

I was just standing in as I'm sure it's past danooguy's bedtime.

If a woman is actaully interested in me, im ecstatic, what else could i be?

OK, but do you have any taste in women? I can't imagine that you fall for any girl that show you the least bit of attention.

That is still not an answer to the question.

im not a name dropper but
go to Vegas: Lead Female Singer for Ka'
dated her for 2.5 years. just didnt work out, two different people. Im happier alone, less stress. is that the answer you want?

Does that count as a different race?

Funny, but it seems to me that all you did was name drop. Luckily, I have a friend that works as a rigger in that show, so I can ask him for the relevant details as its related to this discussion.

For this discussion, I'd say yes, and I'd say it is a good mix.
