Look dude, as someone who has had his share of young love and heartbreak, as well as someone who is 22 and from Alabama, judging if your information isn't inaccurate, let me give you some pieces of simple advice.
For one, pay attention to what Passion said. It's all good stuff to think about. From there, don't worry about being a relationship. That's essentially everybody's fallacy.
Here's the thing, man. So many people feel like they have to be in a relationship because they're lonely, or just like being in, or even just because that's what they're used to. All of those are terrible reasons to try and get into a relationship. Seriously. It honestly devalues the other party by saying I didn't get with you because I wanted you and no one else, but because you filled a certain amount of requirements that I felt I needed right now. There are people I've met along the road of life that I would have been perfect with at a different time in my life. But, given the times that we did or didn't date- they just weren't the right times. And actively seeking a relationship just to be in one is a very, very immature thing that generally leaves both parties unhappy with each other. And beyond that, you might have met someone who was actually 'right' for you and you missed it.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying to avoid relationships if they spontaneously come about. But actively seeking one, or even worse, pursuing one you know is going to fail in the long run, is a terrible decision. And as it's been said before, finding things you guys agree on or click with is fantastic and all, but making that your staple for dating is foolish. As far as the race deal goes, some of us are more attracted to other races than others. That's a given fact. As long as you keep your options open to whomever, then hey it's cool, keep your preferences. We all have them. But if you're going to entirely limit yourself to only Hispanic or Asian, you might want to reevaluate that bit.
I used to be super picky. I found out down the road that was a terrible decision. Please, by all means, have some diddlying standards. But don't limit your own happiness because you thought at 22 that your spouse's interests in cosplaying were going to matter when you're 80. What matters more is that the person can put up with your interests and still love you, as opposed to simply sharing them.
