[quote=Anonymous]Wow. There are some crazy people on this thread.

OP, I would definitely encourage you to consider dating outside your race, for starters. And you will have to confront the silly and stupid stereotypes (clearly in evidence on this thread) that are out there about Black women no matter what. This calls for a more personal strategy, e.g., working through friends and family who know you and aren't phased by these stereotypes; rather than wasting a lot of time in settings like match.com, where decisions are made on more superficial factors that can be more easily influenced by bias. That's not to say forget the Internet, but it wouldn't be my first choice tactic.

Have you already asked around among family and friends? Is there anyone interesting at work? Meet-ups are a great idea. What about "it's just lunch" or a full-service match maker?

Lastly, after my last relationship ended my counselor insisted that I go out with everyone who asked. She just thought it would be good experience. This totally geeky guy who had been after me for five years, and in whom I'd had zero interest, asked me out for like the millionth time, and as per doctor's orders, I finally said yes. Guess who is my DH now? :) That first kiss was an eye-opener!  [/quote]
