I sort of casually dated/talked to a black guy in high school, but my father wasn't too happy about it. He ended up regretting it hardcore. Derek asked me to prom when I was a junior and he was a senior. I couldn't go and I ended up getting a last minute date with this white guy who turned out to be a drug dealer and who ditched me at the prom to smoke dope. Derek was an awesome guy and he is a two-sport college athlete now who has won all sorts of awards. Totally outstanding! But my high school was known for a lot of interracial relationships and for acceptance.

At my college there are hardly any black PEOPLE, let along black guys. Me and my friend Devin were joking about one day. She was like "I've worked my way through all seven black guys in my class, now it's time to start on the white dudes." I feel really sorry for a lot of the independent black girls because it is so hard for them to get dates (we don't have, but need, an NPHC group). I mean, if most white guys don't date them (or honestly don't know them if they're not Greek), they're left with a miniscule amount of black dudes, more of whom pledge and know more people. Girls who pledge ususally don't have as big of a problem. In my sorority there are several black and biracial sisters and they date whoever they want to date. And some of my white sisters date interracially too. One of them is actually going through an ordeal right now because her dude is (a Lambda Chi) graduating and Pakistani, and he might not be able to stay in the states unless she marries him! Now, I'm just exposed to more white guys because of my school's social life but if I was in another environment I'd probably date interracially. My boyfriend now is "white" but has Hispanic heritage and has really dark skin and hair... His brothers call him Fez, pretty much they look exactly alike... WHOA, he's hot, can't wait to get back from break!
