Just wondering what peoples views are on this question. Is it important or perhaps socially more acceptable to find someone to date who is in your social class / league with similar values and been brought up same way, that your family wil get on with or how important really is other family (in laws) in a marriage situation???

Sounds to me like you've met someone whose 'culture' clashes with your own. If you like/love and respect each other and each other's differences, if the people in your respective lives are mature, accepting and non-judgemental then why not? The alternative sounds like great window-dressing but at the end of the day who are you trying to please? There will no doubt be differences of opinion and tastes but that's common to every pairing.

chunkymunky agony auntIt does help if you were bought up similarly but it doesnt mean everything. Obviouslly if they are as intellectual as you and you need someone who can keep up with you then thats going to be a big issue. But they do say opposites attract, this isnt always the case but if you care about some one who is totally differant to you then you shoudlnt give up just because one of you is classier than the other. Its not important in my opinion if you love them. Hope i helped x x x

it really depends on the culture you're brought up in. but also, typically, we tend to be attracted to our social class moreso than any other, or wind up with them, just because that's the environment we are surrounded in. therefore, that's the majority of the people we meet on a daily basis. but if you happen to meet and fall for someone outside of your social class, then who cares? love is love, and it is supposed to know no boundries. i see social class as unimportant when it comes to dating/relationships because we don't date and get married for economic purposes like we used to. i say it doesn't matter one way or the other.

bonym agony auntWhen choosing a partner there are lots of factors to consider however ultimately its your choice on who you date. For example, I may not date a man who is not a Christian because our beliefs will clash, I dont want to impose my beliefs on him, and neither do I want him to impose his on mine. I have no issue with race for example, because skin colour is just skin colour, it doesnta ffect who a person is so I dont care about that but as for league well it depends what you mean. I see myself as no better than anyone therefore no one is really out of my league. To me, you fall in love with whomsoever you do, you cant draw up lists of criteria and choose the perfect partner based on the factors you have listed, it doesnt work like that my dear. xXx
