Ever dated someone outside your race?

Were you uncomfortable at all?

Would you do it again?

Queen Shakirah used this topic to start "the Conversation" part of Jus Words.
yeah. i dated an Italian woman before. It wasn't the "working towards love" type of thing, but we were had alot of fun.
i'll elaborate later. im @ the plantation and theres an uprising. i gotta be on point.

A guy from Israel cracked on me and I feel like I'm off my square...I don't know how to respond...and still have not returned his call. He seems really nice though.

SO much easier said than done. I've done it. I'd do it again. But I have to be confident that the dude could really be my soulmate in order to cross race lines Just in order to confront the sheer adversity. If we connect, then we connect. Period. (That's my "realistic, I'm not going to get all romantical" answer).

call him tizzy...don't let old beliefs/feelings block your blessings. you'll never know what you may learn...

I am going to call him.

I hope he doesn't mind that its been over 4 days!!! And its not the race thing that has me hung up so much...I just noticed that I had been making a lot of bad decisions, in the area of dating...decisions that were the result of my ego needing validation and I met him during that period...I'm kind of hesitant...hoping that he wasnt attracted to me during that fuzzy period...and wondering what the end result will be...might as well find out.

no, i've never. i had a crush or two, but i never acted on them. i've never really had a guy of another race be interested in me, so in a sense, it never came up. strangely enough, i've always been more open to dating other minorities than dating whites. i've never felt the need to be equal opportunity when it comes to dating. i've always been most attracted to black guys.

In dating 'Hell Yeah'! To marry....nahhhhhhhhhhh.

Too much time passed so I never called (would have felt to awkward...the whole "remember me from...". When I finally saw him again...he was so pushy - in a almost humorous way...but it was too much (I guess he must have thought I'm black and should be used to aggression?)...anyway, it didn't feel natural.

HIM - "Whatsup. Why didn't you call? I was waiting for you to call. We could've been hanging out...I had tickets to..."

ME - [shy smile. reading the situation] "i know i..."

HIM - [cuts me off and playfully pushes me...a llittle hard ] "Oh girl, you don't know what you want...you are just full of it"

ME - [kind of shocked that he is that forward and familiar acting with me...I continue to laugh it off and change the subject....never called, and wondered about his sexual orientation because of the way he pushed me]

I never dated outside of my race... But that's a deiciosn not based off of race... It's based off of compatibility... I would be willing to try to date out of my race but i couldn't imagine me with nothing other then a sista...

confession - when I hear "She will be loved" by Maroon 5 - i sure do think about it, (but that's about it). .

***infact, I'm going to go watch it right now.
