I am asian-american and I was wondering what the dating scene was like in DC for asian americans including east Indians in DC? Specifically inter ethinic dating (dating non asians)? I come from the West Coast which is far more progressive in these matters but wanted to know where DC stands in comparison to Cali or NY.

I live in Northern Virginia. This place is so militantly crunchy, liberal, and "progressive" that the rest of Virginia resents us. Arlington has actually been rated as one of the best cities for affluent singles.

Compared to the rest of the DC area, Northern Virginia is progressive with the amount of and acceptance (not just tolerance) of interracial relationships. And I don't mean just the "socially acceptable ones" like Asians Females/White Males or Latinos/Blacks, it's fair game for everyone! The only conundrum is that most of NoVA outside of Arlington and Alexandria is suburban with many of the people open to it already in relationships and marriages. And most of the "singles" who are open to it are K-12 kids and teens. So unless you're 16 y/o looking to score some interracial hookups while hanging out at Tysons Corner or Fair Oaks, I'd stick to places like Arlington and Alexandria if you're in your twenties or older.

And since you're Asian, I'd give Montgomery County a look as well.

I have three male cousins who are half white/half Chinese. All three have been ladies men run amok. They have dated white girls, black girls, Asian girls, and everything in between in VA, MD, DC, and points further away. They have scored north, south, east, and west with little effort.

They would also laugh if they saw such an inane question. Maybe I will show it to them.
