Tracie...

Quote From: busty_tracie

I am a 34 yr old black woman who is fed up with dating black men because in my opinion they dont know how to treat a woman  and show her respect.  I am so desirous of dating a white male but in my country a black man can date a white woman and it is ok but for a black woman to date a white man there are all sorts of comments and they hurt.  Can i have your help?  What should i do go with my heart or listen to these ppl who are still living in the past.

I don't think anything is wrong with you.  You are clearly a lovely woman and from what you wrote, are also introspective and intelligent.  That said, I am not sure how to advise you.  My first thought was that perhaps you have not yet met the right black man.  I think it is a shame that all of the ones you have been involved with left you with a bad overall impression. 

 

Best thing I can think to tell you is to open your mind back up and give equal opportunity to any man you meet, regardless of his ethnicity.  Don't turn your back on an entire race of men.  Perhaps you will date and fall in love with a white man, as long as both of you are prepared for, and have the strength to deal with, the negativity that relationship will engender in your country - then you should also stay open to white men (or Latino men etc etc). 

 

Absolutely do listen to your heart - as long as your brain has told your heart to be open to all men.  Those are my thoughts anyway.  I hope you find someone with whom you find love, happiness and fulfillment.  :)  Roxy

I think you should listen to your heart and go for it. I am a black young lady engaged to a northern-italian/scot-irish man. Don't let ignorance get in the way of true love and happiness. I got the same comments from some of my own family members. Love has no color. Let me leave you with a famous quote "Be thine true to yourself".
