This depends entirely on the miqo'te in question. Adventurers and those who live in the city-states are likely to fall into the "don't care/are unaware of" or "actively hostile" camps regarding tribal miqo'te traditions. However, you can't be sure of how other characters are going to react to your characters. While the devs have said that the average Eorzean is typically fairly tolerant, even a worldly miqo'te adventurer might find it "icky" that a Seeker and a Keeper are having a relationship -- a response similar to racism in real life. It's also entirely possible to run into a miqo'te adventurer who still holds to the tribal ways, such as a tia gaining strength to challenge his tribe's nunh, and that character is likely to be rather displeased to see the relationship.
TBH, just remember that IC Actions Equal IC Consequences and that you can't predict the behavior of other PCs.You may take some lumps IC for your character's romantic activities when/if they become known. Be prepared for that and you'll be fine.
I typically approach everything involving my character in that sense, very little actually bothers me from an IC standpoint. If a person's character doesn't like my Miqo'te I wont be too affected OC about it. I think I will continue with my idea however, its always interesting to see how others reacted to things outside the social norm as it pertains to them.
