The Singles Scene
by Sarah Smart
Q. What would you do if you found out that your best friend’s new boyfriend was engaged to one of your co-workers and you were by coincidence, invited to the engagement party? Would you tell her? My friend is so excited and thrilled over this guy, who has been suspect to me from the beginning. My friend is 37, never married, and obsessed with the ticking of her biological clock. Therefore, she is very vulnerable to guys with game. I’m afraid to tell her because she is very paranoid and always accusing others of being jealous of her. What would you do?
A. I would take her to the engagement party and let her hear and see it when the engaged couple make their announcement
Q. I recently met a white guy over the Internet whom I’ve grown very fond of. He stated up front that he prefers to date black women and I was impressed that his lifestyle had been so cultivated. Though I’m falling in love with this guy, I’m not ready to be seen with him in public because I don’t wish to be judged. It’s just that I haven’t met one who comes close to having the same ideals, goals, and religious beliefs that this man and I have shared so far. What do you think?
A. I think you should not worry about what others might say. Your concern should be about how God feels, not people. You cannot live your life to coincide with the opinions of others. Interracial dating does put you in a semi-spotlight and only you can make the decision as to whether you can stand the “attention.” However, I’m always concerned when I hear of men or women of another race and their preference for someone of a certain race. I would tread down “lovers lane” with cautious steps.
