You can be open to dating someone of a different race and still be quite particular about the life you want together. Perhaps you want a partner who lives nearby. Perhaps you enjoy your own home and have no plans to move. Being open to a relationship doesn't mean giving up those preferences.
If you're returning to dating after 50, start with what you want now. Your p...more
A promising match in Canada can be in the same city on paper and still be difficult to meet after work. Someone in downtown Toronto and someone in the outer GTA may have quite different ideas of what "nearby" means. Before you plan dinner, ask which part of town they will be coming from.
Interracial dating in Canada involves those ordinary decisions alongside more pe...more
October is when it starts. Someone asks what you're doing for Thanksgiving and you realize you don't know, because the real question has four parts: whose parents, whose table, whose drive, and whose uncle.
For interracial couples the calendar question weighs more. It is about more than picking a house. You are choosing which relatives get to see the two of you toget...more
The dating game is a fun one, but it can become complicated when you play outside the rules. For a white woman dating someone with a different racial background, things change up a little. Love should be blind to the colour of someone's skin. While love can be blind, it can't be ignorant. Dating someone of colour or a different ethnic background to your own is inevita...more
I recently got into a interesting conversation with a few White women I know, who happen to date Black or minority men, and it really highlighted a need to explore the complexities of such unions in greater depth. Though I do support the right to love anyone, regardless of color (or gender/gender identity), I also believe that the challenges of interracial relatio...more
Well, first things first. It’s so much easier now to pursue a black and white relationship as a single man than it was just a few decades ago. People are more open-minded today, and even though racism is far from defeated, people are generally more accepting.
However, if you’ve never dated a white woman before and someone shows interest in you, or you in them,...more
Interracial dating has been a taboo subject in the past especially if it involves Black women white men. Many of the interracial couples have often stigmatized and not generally accepted in the society. However, with the popularity of movies which feature Black Women dating White men such as ‘Lakeview Terrace’, ‘Something New’, ‘Guess Who’ and many others, there has b...more
Dating a black man is not rocket science, they are after all, men. Dating him should be no different than dating anybody else - unless of course, you are a white woman. For some people, interracial dating is still an issue. There is still a lingering idea going around that if a woman dates outside her race, she should be expelled out of it. A big problem, isn't it?

It’s Not Just Black and White
So much of the discourse surrounding interracial relationships seems to center on black and white couplings. These are the images we see most in the media: cis white men with black women, or cis black men with white women. But we should bear in mind that there are all kinds of couplings in the interracial dating world that aren’t ackno...more
Technology has changed the dating game. Years ago you would just “holla” at someone that you were interested in spending some time with, today you can cycle through a list of potential male or female suitors with the swipe of a finger on your phone.
There are a bevy of apps in our iOS and Android app stores that put the world of dating in the palm of your hand, whic...more
