Hi my name is Alexis and I am a 38 year old stylish and pretty (I have been told) black woman. If you think we may have some things in common and going for coffee will be a great idea, let me know and I will send you a picture! I am interested in interracial dating and would like to meet a man that would like to learn about other cultures. I believe that everyone has something wonderful to offer in relationships and there is someone good for everyone. Whether or not a guy and I hit it off during a first date, I always view meeting in person as a good thing. In my opinion there is more to a person than their ideny as a romantic partner. I love getting to know people and a lack of attraction doesn't mean the experience was a total waste. I love interesting, stimulating conversations and meeting new people. I am patient about finding Mr. Right so I don't like the guy feeling like they are under a microscope or being judged when they first meet me. I like casual first meetings (at coffee shops) that are relaxed, friendly, and upbeat. I think first meetings with a total stranger have the potential to be a bit scary and nerve wracking. I actually believe that a person's true and most attractive self may come out during future dates and not during the first date. I like to keep things low pressure on a first date and having a brief meeting (maybe 30-60 minutes) in a coffee shop.
