I have dated outside of my race, and thought it was fine. Although, I think that black girls had more of a problem with me dating black men, than anyone else did...
There was a black man (half, actually, if that makes any difference) whom I could have fallen in love with, easily. We grew up together with a crush on each other from grade school. But our families had a problem with dating outside our race so we, both being shy to the extreme, didn't make waves. I've always regretted that. I didn't want to date him b'c of bad experiences with my race. I just loved him as a person.
If he was half black than why did his family oppose dating outside his race. He must've been mixed right?
I am a white male, and I am attracted to quite a few women outside my race. The biggest challenge of course is approaching a woman of a different race, not knowing whether or not they are open to someone outside of their own race. The only black woman I had any measure of success with ended the relationship out of fear that someone in her family would hurt me physically. I found it hard to believe that such an attitude about interracial dating could exist in 2009, however, people do surprise me. I suppose I should know living in South Carolina..
It's no different than approaching women of you own race. Just because you're of the same race does not mean they'll automatically be interested does it?
The only thing you can do is appraoch and if they are not interested move on. Do look at it as "dating outside my race".Just look at it as ........DATING!

I'm a white woman and I'm extremely attracted to a black man at work, and sometimes it seems like he likes me back, but I can't tell. He may not even be open to dating outside his race. One thing that concerns me is that if I did I would make enemies of some of the black women at work. (He is smokin' hot after all!)
I went out with men of other races when I was young and obviously I'm still open to it. I also let my daughters know that I would be open to them dating outside their race as well--we've traveled the world so we're pretty open minded in these matters.

I've had friends that did get a pretty hard time for the same thing from women in the office. The best thing you can do IMO, is let him know your concerns if you do go out, and perhaps keep it outside the office until you know if it will become more serious.
I think a lot of people prefer to keep their personal life out of the office anyway, no matter their race, because it keeps gossip from going haywire. As a matter of fact, my bff was dating her boss and kept it under wraps until after her new job assignment, just so people wouldn't think she slept her way to the top. They are married now with 3 kids.=)
