Thank God, I do know that you've got to be careful with what you say sometimes, as people take it as a personal thing and attack you for it.

Well, at least you know now never to continue without at least having seen what they look like. It makes it a waste of time for both parties when one discovers their crush is unreciprocated.

I can't just date anyone if I don't like them in that way, because it's not fair on the man if the relationship is dishonest. But if somebody is interested in me who secretly makes me literally feel sick, I don't have the heart to tell them that I don't like them in that way, especially once we get talking and I can tell that they are feeling hopeful. That has happened before, and they got all upset and made me feel like a bad person, just because I told them they were very nice but weren't my type to date, and when I said I still wanted to be friends, I didn't hear from them any more.

I've been on a dating site, and I found I didn't really form any connections. Some men started talking to me and I replied an appropriate response each time, then I suddenly didn't hear from them any more. Then suddenly one did keep a conversation going, and we sent each other a few messages each day until I felt there was a connection, and then I added him on Skype. The trouble was he didn't have a profile picture, but the conversations were going so well that I wanted to give it a try, as it was the furthest I had got on a dating site. Then he videocalled me, and that was when I saw what he looked like for the first time, and he was not the type of guy I wanted. He was foreign, and no I am not racist, I just tend to be more sexually attracted to white people. Nothing to do with racism, before everybody creates an uproar about it all. My uncle is white but has always been sexually attracted to Asian girls, and he is dating one now. I don't call him racist, it's just what he likes I suppose. So now I have got this foreign guy on Skype who has become hopeful, I will feel awful if I told him that he's not my type. I didn't like to when I first saw his face on the Skype videocall because I just couldn't. I hate falling into this trap.


The heart wants what the heart wants. You are not racist.


that that's nice to hear. I don't feel I'm racist either, but i do tend to be more attracted to whites, Asians, Latinos then African Americans. There are a few that I haven't been though, and I've had some as friends(as well they are just people) i worried maybe it meant i was a subconscious racist :( I would totally date a AA if i found her attractive. Just like I couldn't date a white woman if i found her unattractive. I couldn't pic a top choice though. as if I found them all attractive and they all wanted me and met what i like in personality I'd probably just south destruct.
but they'll never happen. that said i have heard of AA's looking down on mix couples, is this true or just a small amount? i've seen it done with Latinos and Asians too. perhaps just a ethic extreme pride thing?
I really don't see the problem. everyone should be allowed to be with who makes them happy.

Honesty is the best policy. You can tell him now and maybe hurt his feelings a little bit (trust me, we guys are used to this) or you end up trolling him (as in, fishing trolling) getting his hopes up only to either hurt his feelings rather hard or one day just stop taking his calls/emails which is just as painful and frustrating.

I don't know. I have never been part of the black community.

I'd like to be in a relationship, but whether or not with a guy or a girl, I guess I'm kind of more lenient towards girls, but a guy may not be so bad.

Sorry about what you are going through. It's been almost a year since I had last broken up with my GF and every time I see her, I feel more lonely about it. We barely talk to each other anymore. I still feel really sad about all of it.

African american guy here. I wouldn't look at something like that as a cultural thing, nor equate group thinking as a majority.

There is a small amount of ignorant thinking in any ethnicity. I've met African American's who've looked down on mixed relationships and white people as well who've done it. Just like i've met racists from both groups as well.

That being said--there's nothing racist in terms of preference of looks in an individual, a little shallow? Maybe but everyone in existence pretty much is. If you read studies people have preference in looks based on faces they were around a lot when they were babies, advertisements and tv, etc. Anyway, just my two cents.

I know this is going to sound REALLY stupid on this site, but ...

All three girls I went out with were friends of friends, of which the last one I married.

Bars were a big fat zero. Any time I had the urge of "oh yeah, gonna go meet someone of the opposite sex" was a strike out. Swing and a miss (a phrase from American baseball just in case you don't get it). Each time, it was by accident, meet someone, and they have a friend.

Oddly enough, one was a female friend of a female friend. Don't ask me why I never asked the first one out, it was one of those things that once I decide a woman (girl?) was just a friend, they stayed friends.

The Aspie part of it I have managed to not keep in contact with any of my college friends except one.

Good luck with your endeavors.

And I agree with those people. I used to not understand them, but now I do. Very much so.

I always "struck out" in bars as well. I like girls of all ilks, races, creeds, ethnic groups, etc. I just like girls! I would not date under the age of 18, though--probably under the age of 25 as well.
