I dated two black women when I was in college. I had a good time with them (as good a time as I've had with any non-psychotic relationship), but ultimately the relationships didn't work out, either through their own hang-ups on a mixed relationship (we were living in New Orleans, anybody from there will understand) or through their parents hang-ups (they hated me). I'll never do it again just because of outside pressure. Sure it's stupid to potentially eliminate the perfect mate from contention because of what other people think, but it frankly causes too much stress for me when a relationship has to come to an end through no fault of either party simply because life is hell around you when you're together in public or with family. In answer to your question, I went back because it can be a bitch to handle mixed dating emotionally if people around you want to make it that way.
