Location really does make a difference if your interest is in interracial dating. Some areas have a greater acceptance of swirling than others and some have been mixing races for a while.

Becoming Mobile

Location also determines availability of interracial partners, but it's not a true rule of thumb for racial acceptance. Some inner cities with a high percentage of minority race populations typically also have a high percentage of racial tension. Adversely, areas with a low minority ratio are often the most interracially tolerant.

The largest number of meet up places for black and white dating are located along the Eastern seaboard, from New York to Florida, and in the major cities on the West Coast, such as Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles. These cities already have a large mixed race population, with entertainment venues that cater to them. Finding a good meet up place in Middle America can be challenging.

The Online Search

There aren't many people who are ready to just pick up and move somewhere new, or visit a black and white club two hundred miles away in the hope of hooking up with an interracial date, but social networking has gone far in creating a greater playing field. Many people begin their black and white dating lives through a social networking site first, that allows them to place a photo, profile, list hobbies and interests and to post comments. These "chat" dates have brought couples together who had lived hundred miles away from each other and even in separate countries.

Join the Club

Once you enter the Internet world of black and white dating, you'll discover there is a such a large demand for meet-up places, there is probably a club close to or within your home town. One of the simplest ways to find your ideal meet-up place is use Yelp. Type in your zip code and you'll find the type of venues that cater to your preferences. The relaxing atmosphere of a meet-up place will help put you and your first-time date at ease so you can discover more about each other. Share your suggestions and ideas ahead of time to make sure you are both on the same wave length. Sometimes race does matter when it comes down to perceptions of the way you'll be treated.

Attending a sponsored black and white meet-up event is a great way to increase your circle of interracial friends. A great many singles use meet-up events to find other people who are interested in black and white dating. You can find a meet-up event through meetup.com, through black and white dating forums, black dating apps and through your social networking circles.

Open, Friendly and Natural

Meeting up with someone for the first time is always a little intimidating, no matter how long you've chatted online. If you feel a little nervous, chances are, your date does too. Don't try to over-compensate by trying to be too nice and picking through your words. Be open and friendly, but be natural. Talk about the things that first struck your interest in each other and before long, you'll be meeting up together like you've been doing it forever.
