Search Results: think about interracial dating

I'm a 22 year old Filipino dude born and raised in Miami. It's been hard throughout my life to even get a date although I'm making very slow progress. I've only been on 4 dates. It's a very materialistic city full of gorgeous Hispanic women that are a little out of my league and I tend to go for those girls lol. I prefer Hispanic women but I get nervous on what they might think about an interracial relationship even though I can pass as Hispanic looking. Women have many options here as well and tend to choose someone else over me. I'm decent looking and workout a lot. I've had some success but most of the time I fail and have to start again. Recently, I've showed clear interest in a couple girls and they all went on to choose a different man and it was very discouraging. It's mentally and sexually frustrating. My friends are all white. I like country, classic rock, football, basketball, drinking, smoking, and dive bars instead of clubs. I'm working with a min wage salary while I'm going to nursing school and honestly I DO want a relationship because I've never really been in a serious one. How should I change my approach? Any advice would be cool.

I am 23, and I am African American. Personally, I have no problems with interracial relationship, and I think that it shows progress within our society.

Anyway, I have been going out a lot lately, going on social media sites/dating sites... and I noticed that a lot of black women are strongly interested in dating white men. Many will even go as far to say that they are not interested in dating black guys and are only exclusively dating outside their races (white guys only).

As a black guy, I have no problem with dating black women. I am probably speaking for myself on this one, but I go through little phases sometimes. When I used to live in NYC, I dated quite a few black women. During my high school years, I move to a predominantly white state. So I was only able to date white women. Now that I moved for college and live in a very mixed area (Asian, mixed, Hispanic, black, white, etc, etc, etc)... I am no longer interested in dating black women or white women.

Don't get me wrong. I am willing to date any race, but I want to see what else is out there right now.

Also, not trying to sound racist here... but I have always wanted an interracial relationship and a biracial child. My family is all black, and I thought it would be cool to change my family dynamics and marry interracially. But, if my ideal partner happens to black, that's fine too :).

While I am not really biased about who I date... my question remains. As black people, are we afraid of dating each other? How come so many black people seem to only want to date white people?

Like I said, I speak for myself and my opinions are my own. I am just curious as to what other people will say.
