Wait. People have actually said that to you? I know they have thought that about me, but no one has ever said it so bluntly. One reason why I have difficulty with the idea of dating white men is that I don't want to be anybody's "exotic".

Oh yeah...that's what I get for trying to be friendly sometimes. I'm not used to being places where white men are pursuing black women. So I don't automatically act standoffish like I do with black men who I don't want to be bothered with.

Friendly white people + friendly black people + maybe some drinks at a nonthreatening/unassuming (noncolleague) social gathering = usually some interesting comments.

How do you know they have thought that about you? They told someone else?

No, it is more the subtext of some of the other things that they say, and this is without the benefits of alcohol.
