Good afternoon everyone I am a single 32 year old black female who is very interested in dating interracially. Is it possible for someone like me to find in Austin or its surrounding areas an open-minded man who is interested in stepping outside of his comfort zones into the awesome and exciting world of interracial dating?

I dont see why not, this is a big city and there are a lot of guys out there. Try an internet dating site not craigslist or your nearest sports bar once football season starts.

You know, there is a Relationships forum (and Personal Ad) subforum on City-Data which is very popular. You may want to consider also placing your post there!

I've seen many (relatively since there aren't many blacks in Austin period) white male/black female couples running around the streets of Austin. From what I've observed, they don't seem to attract an abnormal amount of attention. I also see the occasional black female/hispanic male as well, but that combo seems to be less common (at least in the areas that I frequent, this might be more common in East Austin?).

I think you'll find Texas normally doesn't have the racism you find in the northern states. There really isn't a stigma attached to interracial dating in most areas.

Now try this in Wisconsin and you'll really ruffle the general population's feathers.

Why do folks say that there aren't many black people in Austin? This isn't Wasilla. I see plenty of black people everywhere.

I've seen a lot of IR couples here...even Black F/Asian M.

Since the question was asked in a very general way, the local forum is just fine. The Personal Ad forum would be the place to seek individuals interested in dating. I hope that everyone who replies keeps that in mind.

(I was asked about the appropriateness of this thread behind the scenes and this is my answer to those questions as well.)

Maybe because there are not a lot of black people here compared to some places.
