Re: Like to know what nationalities Armenians are dating these days...
Hello Everyone,
This is my first post on this site, and I am happy I found it.
This topic really hits home with me.
I am Armenian and I was born here in the US.
I lived in a place where the only Armenians were my immediate family and a couple of cousins.
I grew up around odars all of my life and only later on did my family and I move to So Cal. and I went to Armenian School for a few years etc.
During and after my time even at Armenian School, all I dated were odars.
I even had one odar girlfriend for 4 years that was just a beautiful person inside and out, who was so committed to our relationship that for 2 years she studied Armenian, went to church with and without me, worked very hard to integrate herself into the Armenian Culture that at one point I felt more like the odar.
At one point I was going to marry her, we were going over the plans for the rest of our lives and something inside me just went off like an Atomic Bomb and I realized that I could not go on with the relationship, because deep down inside I was lying to myself thinking that this relationship would work and we could raise a full Armenian Family.
Trust me from experience, there are distinct differences in having a relationship with an odar (who is committed to wanting to intergrate themselves into the Armenian Culture) vs. an Armenian...
You feel it in your heart that you are an Armenian, and that is only because you have Armenian blood pumping through your heart.
In the end, we broke up and it was a bitter one, since there was nothing wrong with her in my book, except that she was not Armenian.
After this relationship I concentrated on my career, family and eventually I met my beloved wife (of all places on an Armenian Online Dating website) and we both are happy and fortunate we found each other.
Look, I spent over 10 years in and out of relationships with odars and the one thing I always observed is that they can understand our culture and our ways, but they cannot feel it like a true Armenian can.
Regards,
Addax

He dated Swedish, he dated Spanish...but he found Armenians somewhat different. Pal, big nations are not going anywhere, they feel secure, and therefore, insensitive to their heritage, because their heritage is not jeopardized. Small nations are different that way, they are protecting their historical national identity. If you do not understand what I just said, you should not try to date an Armenian 
) that it is not just a matter of blood but rather more a matter of the essence-
