I'm a 19 year old college girl who's never had a relationship before, but I've wanted to break into the dating world for the last year or so. I wasn't allowed to date prior to arriving at college, so my romantic abilites are severely stunted and pretty much non-existent. As with many women, I also run into the problem of being attractive but attracting the wrong sort of men. As a black girl I'm approached by mostly rude, lower-class black men, but, being middle-class and well educated myself, I'm only attracted to other middle class men-- and, strangely enough, I've never been attracted to black men once in my life. These peculiarities have put me in quite the awkward position when it comes to dating, and as nearly all of my college friends grew up in the same situation I did, we're all quite stumped about how to approach this problem. Any advice from folks who have been in or who have heard of a similar situation would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Clubbing is out; they're 21+ here.
