Magic/Mister/Doctor Mike has a blog on a similar subject. His reply to my reply is what prompted me to share my experience.
About 5 years ago I met a guy at conference. I could feel him watching me for most of the presentation. It didn't creep me out or anything, but I did wonder what the hell he found so fascinating about me.
During the break he came over & introduced himself. His name was Kim....yeah you heard me, Kim. The man was Asian & about 4 inches shorter than me. I spoke back & we engaged in lite conversation....or at least he did....we had a lil language barrier problem. I had to ask him to repeat damn near everything he said.
After the conference he gave me his card & had written his cell # on he back, and then asked for mine. I thought, "What the hell...give it to him." He called me a few days later. Honestly, I had no intentions on calling him.
After asking him to repeat himself several times, he asked if I had Yahoo. I told him I did & we exchanged IM IDs. Chatting was sooooooo much better. He invited me dinner & told me to pick the place. I did.
The day I was supposed to meet him, I called my BFF and gave her his info, told her where I was going & was on my way.
I got to the restaurant about 30 minutes early & he was sitting outside waiting for me. He held open the door & a table was waiting for us.
I looked over the menu & mentioned there were too many good choices. He replied, "Whatever you want is fine." (once I understood him of course). I ordered a very pricey surf & turf meal & a few cocktails. It was dee-lish! The dessert tray came around & I was gonna get the Bananas Foster when he suggested I should me try something new, so I did. I ordered key lime pie. It was OK. Should've gotten my damn BF.
As we tried to talk over dinner I kept asking him to repeat himself. It was very annoying for me, but it didn't seem to bother him.
It was then that I knew I'd never see this man again.
We finished dinner, he paid the bill & we left.
He walked me to my car, tried to kiss me but I turned my cheek. Did I mention we were eye to eye, but he was on the curb & I was on the surface. (Me & my damn height hangups....) I thanked him for the lovely dinner, got in my car & left.
He called me several times after that evening, but I never answered. I just couldn't bear to hurt his feelings. I also deleted the IM ID I'd given him.
He finally gave up.
I hope he found what he was looking for. I honestly think he might've been trying to fulfill some BBBW fantasy or curiosity with me. Don't ask me why I think that...I just do.
The End.
Now, I know y'all got questions, so fire away.
See? That's why people don't date outside the race...or at least, they don't date a race with an accent so strong, they can't understand shit. LOL. Glad errything besides the language thing went well. I guess next time you'll stick to the English speakin' bruthas.
ReplyDeleteSo if there had not been such a language barrier would you have dated him again?
ReplyDeleteOk, I have rather easy questions...
ReplyDelete1. Did his breath stink?
2. WTF were you thinking?
3. Why didn't you get a separate desert to go? DUHHH!!!
4. Was his name Kim Kim?
5. Did you call him Lil Kim for short (no pun intended)?
"The man was Asian & about 4 inches shorter than me."
ReplyDeleteGurl, I almost hurt my side laughing at this!
30 minutes EARLY? WHY?????????
awww, poor Kim..... (snickering)
Well, what did find attractive about him?
ReplyDeleteHave you wondered what he found attractive about you?
I sho will! Consider my lesson learned. LOL
ReplyDeleteProbably not. I think I was just as curious as he was.
ReplyDeleteI knew yo ass was gonna come from left field! LMAO
ReplyDelete1. Not from where I was standing! LOL
2. Hell I was curious & bored.
3. Duhh, is right! I should've gotten a plate for the boy too! LOL
4. Girl, naw....wait....naw.
5. HAHHAHAHA! I could have but he probably wouldn't have gotten the joke.
I have tried to convince myself that dating a white man would be better, but I can't get past my hangup of thinking that they are either a pedophile or they too want some BBW fantasy! Blah, can't win for losing! And no, being that I am dang near 6 feet tall I can't have a man that is shorter than me either. LMAO
ReplyDeleteTHE QUEEN
I had contemplated standing him up until I realized he beat me there.
ReplyDeleteI thought he was kinda cute for a lil Asian dude. I can't remember if he was Chinese or Japanese. There was no real attraction on my part. It was more curiosity than anything.
ReplyDeleteI think it was the "big dawgs" & the megawatt smile that caught his eyes. I'd catch him staring at my breasts every so often & he was just like the cat who ate the canary. LOL
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with a height hangup....LOL
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I have no questions - well actually I do. Why did it take you 5 years to share this story? Shoot, this is HILARIOUS!
ReplyDeleteI only remember the time because I had just bought my house. I had cut all ties with the exes for a fresh start. He was the 1st to ask me out after the transition. I had completely forgotten about it until I almost lied and said I've never dated outside of my race on Mike's blog.
ReplyDeleteyou are wild lol...i thought i was the only one who'd do stuff like that...i believe you should give everyone a chance...that's just me, you never know...you don't judge a book by its cover...at least you have the experience of trying something 'new'
ReplyDeleteNo questions, just a "Wow!" and a chuckle...Oh hellls no I got jokes...
ReplyDeleteYeah his fantasy was to slip you his rainbow roll...There are a billion screaming Chinese and you find the one with that bad anglish! He wanted to show you his Juk kei! Maybe if he climbed your Mt Killamajaros he would find a Tibetian Monk on the crest that could tell him the meaning of life...Had you gave him a second date maybe you could have found out the Ancient Chinese Secret!
I am sleepy, I need to go to bed...
You is a heartless heffa.
ReplyDeleteYOWSA!! LoL
ReplyDeleteI tried it once. I dated an Irish Guy. I must admit that for a short time he treated me like a princess. I just could not get past the color thing. There was only a little accent there and the Irish brogue is kind of nice. But I will stick to my Brothers. No Africans need apply.
ReplyDeletePriceless!!! LMAO
ReplyDeleteYeah, you can't judge a book by it's cover....but you can't [bleep] the inside of a book
ReplyDeleteI can't even see it! LOL
ReplyDeleteJust say NO to MSG.. that's all...
ReplyDeleteLOL hollering at the comments esp Diggs' asking did you call him Lil Kim...lol. I dated an Italian guy before and he too was shorter than me...he was a feisty little bastard too. One thing I can say they (other races) love to spend money and spoil us (Black women). Not all of them mind you, but it seems like they're making up for something when they do that. I get a lot of 'Casian men trying to holla at a sista but I too (at 6'1) think they're looking to satisfy their tall Amazonian dominatrix fetishes...
ReplyDeleteSee the language barrier alone would have had me saying "thanks but no thanks" not to mention I have the height hang up thing too. LOL Diggs is so silly. LOL
ReplyDeleteI tried dating a white guy once. He stood me up, end of that!!! ROFL!
ROFL!! Okay that was hilarious!!! ROFL!
ReplyDeleteJust like Lovejones...I try to give everyone a chance....kinda....well sometimes. Well, anyway, you aren't alone. I probably would have gone on the date too. But knowing me I would have felt bad about not calling back and gave him a second pity date. Then if he'd kept calling, I'd probably be pity married and have pity kids name Ching and Liu. I hate hate hate turning folks down. lol
ReplyDeleteLMAO!! I am sooooo luving y'all right now!!!
ReplyDeleteYou fool!! I am so thru with you!!! LMAO
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO ... DANG FOOL!!
ReplyDeleteGirl... I couldn't do it.
ReplyDeleteLMAO @ the comments!
now see.... you know you aint right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kim kim? lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI dont think it hurts anything to try at least once... And maybe it wasnt some thing he had to fulfull with the bbbw (I still dont understand all these damn letters..lol) Maybe he just liked you... His english could have improved....lol
ReplyDeleteBUt the Kim Kim question was hella funny... lol
not ALL mixes are GOOD mixes - another asian dude, another day, a few more inches taller, and you never know....you might just be Mrs. Woo or Mrs Fu or whoever.
ReplyDeletedude could have been a short brother with a thickass accent that you couldn't understand....same outcome? more than likely? maybe?
LOL @ Diggs asking if his breath STANK.
I have never dated outside my race, I have had quite a few offers, but I never tried it. I just don't feel that I would be comfortable with it, I like to say nigga to much to date any white man and I call foreigners nicknames too much to date any of them. I think it would be quite uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteBut even without that I can't see myself growing old with anyone besides a BLACK MAN! :-)
The comments here are still priceless!
ReplyDeleteWOW didn't know how old this blog was. I guess it's fuming on comments.
ReplyDeleteI've dated interracially as well.... but I don't know about an Asian dude.
ReplyDelete(I see more than a few on the set... and some of them are phoine as heyull... but I don't think I could do it)
Well, at least you didn't turn him down flat and you gave him a chance.
ReplyDeleteNow, there's this Asian man that works at the Beauty Supply store I go to and if he asked me out, I'D BE THERE!!!! You just never know until you try it.
There used to be an Asian dude at one of our beauty supply stores that would hand out his business card for discounts and his name was Jyoon (June). Mo, to hear him talk, he sounds just like Quan! (sp)
ReplyDeleteLook atcha....tryna get that beauty supply store LIFETIME HOOKUP
ReplyDeleteWRONG....JUST WRONG, I TELL YA!
LOL....hey, hook a brotha up with some shea butter lotion
after you get YO hookup....see how we do? LOL
Why don't you get your OWN hookup? Ming Lee would LOVE to rub some cream on your legs. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sure that ain't all she'd like to rub some lotion on.
ReplyDeletehaaaaa haaaaa......
*****bout to fall out my chair*****
Just make sure it's lotion and not "no-rye leraxel" LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteHell I can get some of those same products at WALLY WORLD- I don't NEED the hookup!!!!
ReplyDelete**But I'll TAKE IT if he giveth!!!!!**
I'll make sure to hit you up fo yo odah when I get in good!!!! By the way- his English is VERY GOOD and he seems like a very mannerable man every time I go in. Can you imagine how PRETTY / FINE our baby SUB-WOO would be?!!!!! OOH WEE!!!
**ROFLMBO**
Uh, would your baby's nickname be sub-woo-fer?
ReplyDeleteCome on, it was RIGHT THERE!

ReplyDeleteThat was NEXT- after JOHNSON and SMITH!!! *lol*
ReplyDeleteThankfully LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat about the Joneses? J comes before W.
ReplyDeleteDamn... I wasn't even going in alphabetical order, but I did forget about the Jones'!
ReplyDeleteSame outcome! Trust.
ReplyDeleteLMAO!!! You just have to make sure THEY don't say it.
ReplyDeleteI've seen some around these parts as well (I live near a major university) that would make me re-think this whole thing. Hmmm......
ReplyDeleteYou know Kwan (my ghetto ass Chinese (1st) cousin) could easily fool someone on the phone. Even tho his daddy was all Chinese, I doubt his special ass knows ahn word in Chinese. LOL
ReplyDeleteShiiiiiiiiid (in my Clay Davis tone), if a sista hooks up with an Asian, that's the one to hookup with! LOL
ReplyDelete______________(flatlined)_______________
ReplyDeleteTOO FUNNY!
CTFU!!! Girl bye!!
ReplyDeleteI dated interracially once(if you could call it that) in high school. It's not that I am completely against it(despite my militant reputation lol) it's just that the features that I find attractive are generally not features that many white women "naturally" have. One big one being melanin lol. I like darker skin, I just do. Another being full/big lips. These are things that I am just naturally attracted to. Of course there are exceptions (mine seems to be italian woman, I don't know what it is but some of them are just sexy to me, I usually say that I don't do skinny but I would put all kinds of hurt on Alyssa Milano LOL) but I tend to be attracted to features that are typically attributed to women who fall under the african diaspora.
ReplyDeleteYou get a pass! LOL
ReplyDeletenever have dated outside of my race... been asked but I just cannot get past some things...
ReplyDeletesouthern white men have this awful twang that I cannot listen to over and over and over... ugh
the guys who as me out (white guys) want me to dominate them... (what tha heck!!)
Mexicans are too short ( I know... height issue again)
And I love a set of full lips... white men dont have them...and again mexican men are too short...lol
