None of them expected to see me date a black man, and they didn't hide their surprise, but none of them said anything bad about it. Yes some white men get really "turned off" by it, some stop calling as soon as they find out, but... the way I see it, its too bad for them!
Now I fall in the category that openly dates black men (although my current bf is white), and would gladly marry one if I meet the right guy.

good for you

I'm married, and so can't really tell too many people that I have ever slept with someone other than my husband. A few close friends know, but that's it. As far as colour goes, I judge the man, not the colour. I have met potential lovers in public for the first time, as a precaution. I have no issues sitting in a coffee shop or restaurant, lost in conversation with my date. But do I want to share anything further with the world at large? Nope.

If I were single, though, I wouldn't care. If I were in a relationship with a guy, and it was serious enough to introduce him to family and friends, the fact that he's dark wouldn't matter at all.
