I hope I spelled that right. Since I moved, I have been going on dates with all different ethnic backgrounds. I did not do that when I was younger.

I have a date on Sunday with a guy from the Philippines. I am looking forward to that. He gets all my jokes which most people do not.

Anyway, it's been an interesting experience.

Anybody else branching out of their comfort zone?

did it back in my twenties and havent allowed race to limit me since,,,,,

I'm dating an African American lady. Race is irrelevant to me though. I mean, I do tend to be more attracted to darker skin tones, darker hair, darker eyes, etc. but, it's not even a big enough thing for me consider a preference or anything.

It's 2012 and while it probably shouldn't, it does amaze me that interracial dating is something people even question.

Same here

I can understand some people having trouble understanding certain cultures though, but I embrace those differences and love learning about different cultures, so it's not an issue with me.

i am considering it

for me i have no problem with it, and am ready to move into when the opportunity present itself.

I wouldn't have a problem with it but honestly as I don't get asked out anyways; I have no experiences to share.

I have always dated interracially probably always will.

I'm Melmacian. What choice do I have?

People are people. Color or backgrounds should never have mattered. As long as you care about someone, all else means nothing.

My best friend did something I was impressed with once. Her father was racist.She got pregnant with a African American. She is white.

Her father demanded why she didn't tell him the baby was "black".
She replied.. "Why dad? If the baby were white I wouldn't have ran in and said ..."dad I'm pregnant and the father is white".

I personally do not see anything wrong with dating outside your race. Go and be happy where you can find happiness!

Dates outside my race are inside my grace.

------------

The only race I would never want to date are Chinese because they have lied to the world big time. And I don't want to date a woman from Africa, coz I hear AIDS is at 50% penetration rate in the entire population in sub-Saharan Africa. It's not a racist issue, but it does affect a race as "undatable" for me.

Also, I would not date white women because they are very reverse and hard to get along with.

Everyone else -- not Mongolid, not Aryan, not Australoid, not African African Black or American African Black, and not anyone who has some blood from the above groups -- I would date. Without any reservations.

I was dating a Pilipina who also got all my jokes. It was heaven!! Prior to that, I had not thought much about Pilipinas as intellectuals, but she turned it all around for me.

But it turned out that she simply had a viral infection from the old coutnry, which causes a kind of whooping caugh that sounds like laughter.

She was the biggest disappointment in my life. I got so disillusioned that I stopped paying child support to her for our three cchildren.

She is, you see, responsible for my sick and absurd sense of humour. She gave me, however unwittingly, wrong positive reinforcements in my psyche development as a bona fide joker.

We still touch base once in a rare while. She is working with the BBC Weekend Television now as a laugh track. Makes seven times more money than I do. And look at me, I can't produce a smirk even on any human being's face.

Well, I am glad you wouldn't rate white women but would you date one?

Typo? Well, for you, I'd make an exception.

i went on a date once without reservations;
had to settle for dinner at ‘Friday’s’...lesson learned.

Thanks, gorgeous, for the noticing it and letting me know. I now have corrected that typl.

Aww; you are too kind. Sorry; I just couldn't resist the chance to tease you but I knew what you meant.

You mean that typo? I know I am such a bad girl today. It must be Friday as I am feeling bratty.

Here's a tip that will save you money:

When you make reservations for a Big Date, make just one seat spot book. When the airline company puts up a fight, and won't let both of you on the plane, tell them she'll spend the flight on your lap. Then ask for a no-fee switch to first class seating, because the pedestrian class seats are too small.

So you fly to Paris and back, and have a great time with the free drinks, and she's seated in your lap the whole time, just lapping it up.

If you want someone experienced, ask out a lapdancer or a nun and get her to switch seats with a stewardess. A Swiss Air stewardess; they are swishy, and furhtermore swooshy, too.
