'Hi, my name is ________________. How are you?'

*if the girl responds & seems interested*

'I realize we live in the age of cell phones. Would I, perchance, partake in the honor of acquiring your cellphone number?'

*you win*

Being mildly attractive and able to offer financial stability in your relationship would be an added bonus to the situation.

For me, approaching women for dates is unatural.

That's why you don't approach for "dates."

Don't approach "dates" as dates: (oh I'm totally going to mess this up, or I NEEED to make an impression). In other words don't be needy.

Just approach it as a friendship (that is to say unless you just want to _____ them.)

Go to places where you like to go do things you like to do. Feel confident but don't be a jerk.

Most importantly, you need an "in." Any sort of "forced" interaction is good, talking to a barista, or waitress.

If you're at a concert or show, you already have one thing in common (the band).

If you're at a book store you already have something else in common (books).


Yeah it's tough to make small talk even when not asking women on dates. But if I were you I'd just practice talking to people in general, making small talk with everyone.

Approaching women in LA is better than approaching women in OC.

You might want to take a class (or two) at a local community college -- something like "Conversational Spanish" or "Elementary Mandarin". "Forced interaction" is pretty much a requirement in language classes, and if you're lucky, some of the women in the class might approach you.

Yes, as a black guy myself I like Asian and Latina girls too and when I was living in LA there are lots of them around. Before I left Cali I was involved with a Japanese women who was a teacher.

As far as parents looking down? Yes, if the parents are from out the country with there traditions still intact they tend to look down on there daughters dating outside there race especially with certain minority's because of the track record of little income and education.

Good news is the younger generation are more open minded and many Asian/Latina girls want to date black guys only.

I've only seen white guy-Vietnamese girl couples where I used to live when it comes to the interracial issue in that community.

If you date a daughter of Korean immigrants, that might be a hassle only because not only do blacks have a very poor image in Korea thanks to the riots in L.A. where Korean business were looted and burned, but Korean parents usually prefer that their kids marry other Koreans (that means whites will experience resistance from FOB Korean parents, too). However, one also has to note that in Orange County, there has been reported an unexpected amount of intermarriage between Koreans and Hispanics. So make of that what you will.

As for Latinas, if you use the dating pool out of a middle class largely white neighborhood to find them, you will likely have no problem. For example, there is a part of Whittier that is like the Hispanic Baldwin Hills. The crunch comes when you go into some of the working class and poor neighborhoods with occasional or worse gang activity. The vatos are definitely not down with blacks (or even Anglos in a lot of cases) dating the chicas and it could get hairy for you.

Hispanic parents don't really care, generally, about the ethnicity of their daughter's boyfriends. Every now and then, though, you will run across a hispanic dad who doesn't want his daughter dating outside la raza. In my experience, these dads usually had gang member sons.

One suggestion: Brazilians. Lots of African blood in that culture, too. So racism not an issue. And they're some of the most beautiful women on the planet.

This is on the money..

Yeah, you should totally say that to some chick.

My brother-in-law lives in Athens, Georgia & finds every reason he can to come to Los Angeles. Of-course, he also has a Black girlfriend here; all the more reason to visit. He claims LA is the best place to meet Black babes [he's anglo]. I have known many Asian women & Latinas. There probably isn't a better mix of Asians\ Latinos than the San Gabriel valley though the club scene is nothing compared to downtown\ Hollywood. My family is 5th generation Californio [all inter-ethnic anglo\ latino]. It wasn't even a taboo back in the 1950's when the state was to first to eliminate racist restrictions on inter-racial marriage. Can you believe there are people who actually frown mixed relationships?
