Sorry, but I totally disagree with your article. I like dates to have a bit of heat! Restaurants and cocktails and subtle suggestion (not tacky, but exciting!) And I think it’s really patronising that you think a woman wouldn’t want to talk about career, money and politics and would just want to feed ducks and buy t-shirts. We’re not all stupid housewives – come one, get with the times!!

Ok…to lucy and alex

idk where you are looking for couples but it is not an issue anymore. maybe to you it is but the united states is very open in that area. Its the LGBT community that is being looked down upon. More people need to focus on that problem instead of interracial dating, which isnt even an issue.

a guy that will pay for dinner or anything else is showing that he is whilling to spend money on you and he still has to get her to like you to even go on that seocnd date if someone evertook me to a museum or an art galery i would not be going on a second date with them alot of girls(depends who you are or what you like) like the dinner dates. you can actually talk to them and not just about boring stuff.

I’m slightly confused as to how a picture of a black guy and white girl standing next to eachother laughing turned this blog into a discussion about race. I don’t even notice these things, but then again I live in London…and I’ve been to school. Neyney, everyone is a liberal from your vantage point. The subject of this blog is way over your head and you would perhaps be solving 90% of your dating problems by getting an education first. The real slaves are those that bow to convention.

Thanks to the OP for a nice post reminding us what dating is all about, as it is easy to forget sometimes.

wow this racist guy sayin blacks are slaves is either being sarcastic or is just plain stupid. Your daddy taught you to hate black people because your mom secretly lusted after black men. You talk about conservatism, but it was very liberal for your ancestors to leave england sir. PS every race in history has been a subject of slavery. Matter of fact I think whites were the first. And do not forget you are the minority in this world. And what is black when there are asians who are blacker than me.

Learn ya history, and speak intelligently or gtfoh

DEAR ALEX…

I WAS JUST WONDERING , IS IT A BAD IDEA OR A SIGN OF WEAKNESS TO CALL BACK A GIRL AND ASK HER OUT AFTER WE HAVE LOST TOUCH FOR A WHILE… DOES IT SEEM LIKE IM DESPERATE AND I HAVE NONE AVALABLE AT THE MOMENT ??

Wow really you put up a picture of a black guy with a white woman that is unacceptable. What is with all of you flamming liberals. I cannot beleive your outright arrogant nature. If you like the idea of a black guy doing a white woman than i guess your article should be that instead of the places to take a date. Blacks are slaves and are nt meant to enjoy the presence of white woman. You need to really take a closer look at this next time you decide to put up pictures like this I hope a black guy banging your white wife haunts your dreams !

Lucy, racism is definitely not just an American problem. It is a huge problem in countries like France, especially pertaining to Muslims. They also have issues with “Pakis” in the UK, so I’m surprised to see you specifically call out America as being in its own class in terms of racism, and I really think that’s disingenuous. Most countries in the world have issues of prejudice, though they may not necessarily be related to race but to ethnicity instead (esp. in Africa where there are enormous problems with tribal conflicts).

I see interracial couples every day here in northern Virginia. In fact, one of my good buddies is in an interracial relationship right now (he’s Catholic and white, she’s second-generation Bengali and Muslim). It is certainly not taboo where I’m from; if anything people think it is interesting, though I am sure it is much more difficult for interracial couples in the rural south.

America is one of those countries where the culture varies a great deal depending on where you are. especially when you are comparing urban to rural areas. have to say i am surprised that you didn’t see more interracial couples in NYC, but i haven’t been there in years.
