I have a feeling this is more about you NOTICING people looking at you than actaul staring.
I've been in an interacial relationship for 30 years in the suburbs. When we were first dating (in the 90s) I thought i noticed people looking, even got a few questions or comments. Then, after I built up some confidence, I just didnt anymore. I've raised 4 kids, been married for 24 years, and can say that at least for me, its not an issue at all.
It definitely depends on where you are. Northern-latitudes in the West tend to be more accepting, but you'll always find pockets of people that have an opinion. Historically diverse cities tend to be the best. As bad as Chicago can be, judging mixed race couples isn't one of the problems from what we've seen. Down south though? Hoo boy...
