Outsiders

Armenians value insularity. If your potential date comes from a very ethno-centric Armenian family, he might be discouraged from dating you. His family might not want him dating a non-Armenian female as Armenians are sometimes wary of "outsiders," but Mixed Blessings: A Guide to Multicultural and Multiethnic Relationships, is a highly useful book for navigating romantic relationships where there might be hidden expectations due to cultural origin or birth in different countries. It will help you sensitively navigate communication with your date and your date's family. With ethnic families, there is often a lot of influence from the parents. This book will give you a better chance of getting their go-ahead for a relationship or even marriage.
