My daughter recently introduced me to her new boyfriend. At first he seemed interesting just from the clothing he wore (a rosary with the cross missing and a zodiac pendant and a normal cross then on one wrist maybe 5-7 bracelets like bead bracelets not those rubber ones). I thought that was kinda strange for a guy, but that's just me. But he had a very unique name and when I asked him the origin he told me that it was romani. So i googled what that was and turns out that he's a gypsy. Should I be worried and should I allow my daughter to keep a relationship with this guy? 

So what was he himself like? What your opinion should be based on, and maybe not just the first meet? 

Plus names are very mixed nowadays... 

Gypsies marry very young. They shun outsiders. It's odd that this boys parents are allowing him to see your daughter. They are good people but they live by their own rules. They are nothing like the Amish but think of them to compare....they live by their own rules also. 

read this about romy Gypsies 

what that doesn't mention is they make their living in unsavory ways, like conning people- and they do stay together- they wouldn't approve of your daughter dating one of their boys- 

But is true gypsy? Thinking that is question... 

so, what compelled you to join KU, 32 minutes ago? 

They know we be scared of gypsies? 

mutton, you're a scaredy cat! you're afraid of everything! it's my Irish fairies you need to worry about- they hide things, and you find them where you put them, a month later- 

This exact question, I couldn't find anything else on this or what I could find was from Europe where I know they are hated. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had something like this happen before. I've always come on the site just to read the gossip (yup I know bad me). He seems like a nice kid but I don't know if that's just a front.

Lol
That's the real question? Troll? They put a lot of personal info all at once. Makes me wonder. 

I wish school would start- I think some of the kids have gotten really bored- 

Sath. Talk to the boys parents before this relationship goes any further. 

I am a scaredy for sure... 

From what I have heard, they only marry other gypsies, and the boys will date a white girl, but white girls are strictly to play with. So...basically mostly only want sex from white girls.

Of course, that is a huge generalization, so who knows.

I agree, definitely ask to meet the parents.

Yes, it is normal for the guys to like a lot of jewelry. It is normal for them, not weird, but of course it seems odd to other cultures. They like everything BIG and gawdy. The women are the queens of bling.

The men tend to work seasonal jobs and the women usually stay home with the kids. Often they live in campers so they can travel to find work. 

Thinking was a bs from start though? But in fairness to op not sure...see am learning sorta? Someone be proud of me please! 

Michelle, last few years seems like even the what is called Caucasian group likes the jewels( boys). So hard to say is a generalization... 

Not just culture 

Gypsies is a term also used for the dancers in a musical. 

what that doesn't mention is they make their living in unsavory ways,


Maybe because that's not true. Always assuming the worst. 

I'm sorry I didn't realize making an account so you could post a topic made you a troll. 

Gypsies usually steal - and con their way through life.

Amish are possibly the most honest - and god fearing people on the planet.

They do not marry "English"...

Please Google these terms and quit guessing...

QUESTIONS:

How old is your daughter, by the way.

Why are you controlling who she dates? 

I'm sorry I didn't realize making an account so you could post a topic made you a troll.

Normally it does...lol 

Amish make amazing furnishings...love their woodwork 

How old is your daughter, by the way.

Why are you controlling who she dates??
She is almost 17 and he is 18, I'm not controlling who she dates (I mean unless she starts dating a druggie or felon) I'm just trying to get a better handle on who this kid is and what he wants out of my daughter since is supposed culture has a history of people hating them. 

So you know is true gypsy? 

I'm going off the origin of his name and the way he dressed. I mean come on be honest guys if your daughters brought a boy home and he was dressed with sagging pants and chains around his neck you know that entire "gangsta" way of dressing you would associate him with that culture. 

Gangsta not gypsy dress... 

Gangsta not gypsy dress...?

I'm not saying gangsta is gyspy dress but you would associate gangsta dress with gangsters as you would associate gypsy dress with gypsys so I'm assuming he is one with all the jewelry he was wearing and from the origin of the name he told me.

No one said they were totally alike. I said to compare them.....they each live by their own rules. You don't need to Google to know that. And not ALL Amish are the way you described. And to defend Sath,she is the girls mother if she wasn't questioning her daughters boyfriends I would be worried. She is being a good mother. You should back off. 

True swath, me son no gypsy nor gangsta but went thru a bling faze which was to me a bit funny and weird. Was when in school so guessing was a faze? 

Thank you Monkey Butt, I don't understand what I did wrong. I tried googling as much as I could but there isn't much. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this culture. He seems nice and my daughter is head over heels for him and I just don't want her to get hurt. 

Sorry about swath, thought turned off auto correct 

You done no wrong sath, we just a bit suspicious here at times... 

You being a good mom 

Thank you mutton. I plan on having dinner with the boy's father and mother soon 

Many years ago, I worked in a cardiac unit at a big hospital. There is a large population of gypsies in this community. When we would get an gypsy admit, we would have to remove everything from the room, the clock, the phone, the bible, bedding, medical supplies, everything. Was very strange.

Why? Would they steal them or was it like a cultural thing?
