After reading the many posts/comments related to interracial dating, I had to think about my past dating patterns. (Haven't dated in years; been married)
I've never dated outside of my race (black). I've seen some attractive guys in other races, but never approached one and/or dated any.
Is it a natural occurence? Or do people have bad experiences within their race that pushes them to look outside?
Personally I think people should date whomever they feel is a good match for them, no matter their race. Just my thoughts.

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.
I am white and dated a black man because after meeting him through a friend (not a set up, just ran into him) he asked me out and we had a good time.
I think people should date whoever they want. But I do think people need to be realistic about others reactions. The families my hate you just based on your race and there will be nothing you can do about it. So you will have to live in the family knowing they hate you. So it comes down to the person choosing to live like that or move on.
And they can and will do horrible things to split you up!
It sounds like you want to date white guys but just want to see what others think.
Blacks and whites that date "outside their race" usually end up with either with someone black or white, in most situations. Other situations do occur but it's normally black/white.
I have been using a dating website for the past 6 weeks or so, and when I see a attractive gal and she has a nice profile BUT she happens to be East Indian, the thought of I think I'll "try dating outside of my race" never crosses my mind. My only thought is, I hope she responds to my initial contact.
People make such a big deal about it. What I would be leery of is someone that does not date their own race at all.......or someone that thinks their race is "bad"" and dating another race will be somehow "different and good".
As a matter of fact I received a message in my email from a young lady( she is not black) that responded to my profile on the dating site.......no big deal. I responded back.
I wouldn't look at her any different than I'd look at the interior of a black young lady. Again, no big deal, nothing special or unique about it.

Unless you've been sucked through a time warp into 1963 Mississippi, I'd say go for it. Date who you are attracted to, why deprive yourself of someone because of what others may think? You could be missing out on a good thing.
