Have any of you ever introduced a friend, coworker, family member etc to someone of another race and if so how did it turn out. Also have you ever interracially double dated with another couple.I once went out with my white gf and her blk girl friend who was dating a white guy..I could not tell you the amount of times people would assume that I was with the black girl and my white gf was with the white guy...
In my last year of high school I sort of "converted" (didn't even try really) one of my friends to interracial dating. She actually married the guy and moved to the US with him.
Usually folks go out of their way to match you to your race. I mean you can be a city of 10000 and their are 4 black folks there. They will come to you, "all man, all man...I have the perfect woman for you"...Then you meet the chick and find out that only thing that could have inspired your match maker was race alone. This happens 99 out of 100 times.
That has happened to me more than once. Someone matching me to a black girl. The first time this happened, we met after she got off work. And the time to become acquainted was very awkward as it was brief. She simply had no idea as to what she wanted in life(or she didn't want to tell me). The second time was my older brother. He insisted I go out with this "strong black woman." I didn't give him my permission, but he was the kind of guy who acted on impulse. No meeting had occurred. The third time was a few months after graduating from college. I was working at McDonald's and already some of the white and black women were trying to hook me up with this girl who was black and way too young. If I were to go to a professional matchmaker, I would let that person know of my preferences from the beginning. If no matches are made, I want a refund.
I've had people try to pull that shit on me in the past and they had to learn the hard way that I don't like matchmaking. Funny, an older white co-worker of mine once asked me if I liked white girls and I told him that it depended on what day of the week it was.
I don't like that matchmaker shit either, and for those that have actually learned had to learn it the hard way. A friend had been nagging me to death to sign up for some online dating site she's on (don't know which one it is because I didn't care enough to ask). To shut her up I told her I was giving in and would sign up, and I asked her to look over what I planned to put in my profile and give me her opinion: For some reason she wasn't amused and informed me that my "lackadaisical attitude and smart-assy ways" are why I'll never find a husband and die an old maid. She hasn't mentioned anything else since then. lol
One of my aunts tried to pimp me out to a black woman a few years back. Lovely and interesting person but I just wasn't attracted her, doubt she was attracted to me either. A cousin tried setting me up with her friend, I actually felt a little insulted once I saw her.
When I was making shit money no one ever tried to match me with anyone but now its a weekly but unfortunately despite dating ww since I was 14 they always try to find me a "good" bw. Smh
Years ago, no one ever thought to introduce me to a black man, even though I have always been attracted to them. I am happy to say that recently, those who know me, know that I am naturally attracted to black men, and they are making an effort to introduce me to them. What I appreciate most is that it is no big deal. They treat my attraction to black men no differently than if I said I prefer white men with blonde men. I also have black female friends who are just as willing to introduce me to black men they know. I truly appreciate this. In a few weeks, I am going to be meeting a man I met right here on this forum as I will be in the city where he lives. I am looking forward to this. At some point, I will disclose who it is..................
Make sure that your friends know you well first before they do that. Cold set ups may seem like fun to them, it may be awkward to you. If you got the time and(perhaps)$250.00-$300.00 to join a dating agency where you can deal with someone in the flesh as opposed to online sites.
I've met people who try to set me up with this WM or that WM. Even when I tell them I am not attracted to WM some still try their hardest to force the issue. I stopped letting people try to set me up. I would much rather meet a man on my own or through a dating site than go through the awkward WM dates ever again.
I was supposed to be meeting someone from this site as well back in May then June ... never happened. Maybe he got skeered?
