My Baby has a Girlfriend!

My sweet baby boy has a new young lady in his life.  Mr friends tell me cynically that she will break his heart- first loves always do, they say.  I hope he will be the exception that proves the rule!  He is venturing into unknown territory here, and dad I have little we can offer to guide him beyond the usual counsel to be cautious. responsible, and polite to her mother.  I hope he has a good first experience, because I know how it colors all the others to follow.  He has promised to call me and talk- talking in front of his dad makes him feel 'weird', and his sister asks too many embarrassing questions. 

I have given him what I promised will be my last unsolicited advice: do NOT under any circumstances, compare your lady to your mother unfavorably,  That is at least in my experience the WORST!

I wanted to know all about her, but I don;twant to ask too maby questions.  Anyone out there with ideas how to approach this, please speak up!  I did not even know what race she is, and since we are a rainbow family, it didn;t need to matter, but it does.  Just so I can be prepared.  I had no polite way to ask- and he finally enlightened mr eithout my having to.  She is white.  He is black.  Her father is racist-he says- her mother is not.  I am praying I am not already hopelessly out of my depth.
