But I do have some experience on what it is like to date black women, and there is one factor that always adds a negative to it…

Every time I date a black woman, they always ask the following questions at some point within the first 3 dates:
1. Do you date a lot of black women?
2. Have you ever had a long term relationship with a black woman?

It is completely transparent that they’re trying to find out if I’m just “experimenting” with black women.

The annoying thing, is that my answer makes it seem like I am, but the answer begs the question. If I answer honestly, and say that I haven’t had any long term relationships with black women, then they assume I’m not serious and move on. But the reason I haven’t had any, is because either this question comes up, and I answer honestly, or eventually, they decide they’re not comfortable being in an interracial relationship.
