No. I date all types of men, no secret. I was quiet about a relationship I am in now, due to some judging based on ages and income, I decided to not worry about it. And guess what? No one really cares!

Why date if you can't shout out how happy you are to be with that person? That seems messed up.

I have been in an interracial relationship and no, I did not keep it a secret. Why would I? I got over giving a bleep over other's opinions when I started paying my own way in life.

I can imagine that keeping a relationship secret might make my partner feel as if he's not worthy or I am ashamed of him.

OK Sugar, what kind of a "Hi" does he give you? Is it the generic greeting or is there a little something extra behind it? The answer will be in his eyes and his body language.

Oh, and find out where he hangs out after work (and with whom) and get yourself invited to go along. Even if its something dweeby like that paintball stuff.

I'd like to think that he seems pleased when our paths cross but I could very well be projecting. lol

I know I keep making excuses and I sound like a broken record, but I couldn't do that. I am good (great) at cyber stalking (researching, not harrassing) but not at all good at mingling. I do not hang out with my co-workers outside of work. It would cause me great anxiety to associate with people I don't know well. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Before getting married. I went on two "dates" with white women. I felt very uncomfortable on both dates.

- One woman I was sure was a racist with a Black sex fetish. She had no issue telling me she doesn't like Black women (first time meeting her) and got upset at me because I said I found Black women attractive. lol That was a quick meeting. She still paid.

- One was some super annoying liberal. That I felt wanted to go out on a date with a Black guy to prove something.

Either way. It wasn't going to work out. I felt a little to self concious and I hate feeling like a translator.

Interesting combination: Racist with a Fetish and a Super Lib. I can imagine what stupid things a Super Lib would say, but a Racist White woman who wants to date Black men sounds incredibly Psycho (Run Forrest run). How did you find that one?

Didn't the actor Terrence Howard claim that his wife was a racist once things went sour? lol

Apparently, Anythings game in Divorce. I doubt anyone would stay with someone who was calling them the worst of Racial slurs. If it's true he may be as nutty as her. He does have some great looking kids from his first marriage though.
