An attractive white man and gorgeous black woman walks into a crowded restaurant holding hands. As the hostess motions them to their table, a fair number of patrons began to sneak curious glances at the couple. As the handsome gentleman pulls out a chair for his beautiful counterpart, he's met with a few sneers from some of the restaurant goers.
When the beautiful woman sits down, the couple instantly become engaged in light conversation which includes looks of longing and laughter between the two. Although many of the guests grab quick looks of curiosity, the sexy couple seem oblivious to their surroundings. It's quite obvious they're completely enamored with each other. A first date such as this can be achieved by following 3 simple steps:
1. While on an outing together, realize that you're on a date with him/her...not the rest of the world. This is about the two of you. Put your best foot forward and just relax.
2. As with any other date, make the topics of discussions light and friendly. The general rule of thumb for first time daters is to stay away from politics, race, and religion. If you make it past the first date, you'll have plenty of time to talk about hefty issues.
3. Zero in on your date. In other words, focus on what your date is saying and try not to monopolize the conversation.
Glances of
disbelief and amazement are the little idiosyncrasies that interracial couples are faced with from time to time. Yet the degrees of rubbernecking are often determined by the areas in which you may reside. The more culturally diverse the region, the less interracial couples are viewed as an oddity. With that being said, never let someone's discomfort deter you from choosing who you wish to be with. Nor let them ruin your first date!
