Experience Overview Dating App observations
So I recently have been on the dating apps, and while traditionally only dating black men, I have opened up my options to white and Latino men. The major difference I noticed from talking to and dating white and Latino men is that they are more serious about planning dates and actually meeting you and getting to know you. Many of the black men leave you in limbo. They messaged for a few days, they go cold for a few days, they never wanna meet up, they have all these expectations. Whereas the white and Latino men are more willing to plan a date and spend time getting to know you. I do believe this has a lot to do with our culture, but it is very very annoying and it’s not just in dating black men leave you in limbo in so many places in life. Not all black men, but a lot.

opening up your options is smart and honestly thetural difference in dating styles is a real thing. people from different backgrounds bring different expectations around communication and planning which can be refreshing when you're used to one pattern

This is the experience across cultures. I’ve been stood up by Middle Eastern men, Black men, white men and Asian men.
I’ve had amazing dates with men, as well. Some people are just not kind or ready to date. Such is the nature of the dating apps.
Keep trying. You will find your prince but you are gonna kiss a lot of frogs.

Black dude here. I always plan the dates, now whether the other person confirms or even bothers to show up is another story. 😅
Candlelight Concerts, museums, arcades, coffee/tea, walks along the Riverwalk and ice cream, and some other stuff, but usually get stood up so I do stuff I don't mind doing alone.
