It is good to be open-minded. I have favorable memories of both!!!

As far as those mentioned above: Add to Nicholas Cage -- Tom Cruise and that guy who does a court show during the day. I can't think of his name right now but he caught my interest when I was home last month because of his straightforward nature. I guess I have to look in the tv guide for his name.

Are you talking about the one where he use to be a police offer (Dallas I think) and then later went to law school and so on? Dark hair and dark eyes? I think I know who you speak of, but I can't think of the name of his show for the life of me.

As much as I don't want to sit around "waiting to exhale" for a decent Black man to come in my life, I'm not going to give up hope that easy, either. And, I, too, don't like it when other people exclusively date outside their race based on stereotypical reasons. When I see a brutha with "someone else" (esp. White), paranoia kicks in and I usually automatically think the worse (esp. if he has status). With that said, though, love is love and that can't really be helped. We're all individuals; you can't live your life to accomodate other people's opinions. It's just that the feelings, reasons, etc., for interracial dating/marriages should be genuine and not based on stereotypes, a one-time bad experience, etc.

Since I am supposed to be doing my homework this about summarizes ho I feel about dating outside of my race. I do not mind if someone else does it, but I like Soror Obsession8, don't really see myself dating anyone else. One of my good friends dated a white guy and he wanted to ste me up with one of his friends, but I had to pass. As long as my friend was happy I was too! I am not saying that I would never date outside of my race, but I have not given up hope.
