Cupids Dating Blog

As is so often the case, said ship informed me that it had long since sailed and that I could forget about it weighing anchor in front of my port ever again, much to my chagrin. I was young then, but I would miss the boat many times again, even when I was supposed to be older and wiser. Nevertheless, I have often thought that I might like to date someone Asian again.

I've always felt a tad strange however about looking for a partner based upon something that seems as arbitrary as race. It just doesn't feel right to me, despite it not being necessarily offensive to others, it resembles almost reverse racism. I suppose that's only true if you would choose someone based solely on ethnicity. Otherwise, I guess it's no different than it is to prefer blond hair to dark, or tall from short.

Even so, I even find those preferences strict compared to my own. I sort have a thing for redheads, but I have as of yet not met one that I would actually date. My attitude is that I expect to be accepted as I am, so why wouldn't extend the same gracious attitude and open mind towards my own potential matches. I'm not sure if hair color has all that much bearing on whether someone is my soul mate, or not.

However, in the spirit of remaining open to searching anywhere to find "the one" - I have already taken a gander at our Asian Dating Guide. I agree that some sites really target one specific Asian group, while others seem directed towards Asians of several nationalities. I like the idea of broadening the scope of possibilities within a partially narrowed down field, so I'd probably go for a site that isn't limited to one single culture within Asia.

I actually have some idea of where I think would be a good place to start, Asian Friend Finder seems like a sort of community site, where I might gain some incite by reading blogs and forum groups before I really dive into it. Even if I don't end up living some sort of Asian fantasy, I might make some friends and learn something about the world outside my own.
