Are you in an interracial dating site to date your own?

Why are you a member of Afroromance interracial dating site? Well, as most of us would assume, it’s because you want to date interracially. I mean, it’s an interracial dating site, right?

OkCupid – an online dating site – analyzed messaging habits of almost a million of its members. They came up with some very interesting findings: one being that your race determines whether you will get a response to messages you send out to other members you are interested in.

Racial diversity in schools and interracial dating

Most schools, just like the infamous Bob Jones University never used to admit certain races just to discourage interracial dating in their institutions. Today, they do. But do diverse schools mean more interracial relationships?

Other 20 adjectives used to replace “nice” were adjectives like “dishonest,” “pretty,” “curious,”... full story

They must be talking about me…

We all have what I will call mild paranoia … worrying about what other people think about us. For some of us we suspect everyone must be talking about us behind our backs. “I am in an interracial relationship. What will they think?” “I am gay. What will they think?” “I am in a micro mini skirt. Could they be saying I am a tart?”

It’s normal to have negative thoughts. But sometimes, these thoughts can be blown out of proportion, leading one to interpret even the most positive... full story
