I thought about this thread on Saturday. I had gone to see an afternoon play with one of my white male friends. After the play, we decided to go to the mall. He needed some new clothes and wanted me to help him. We were in a man's clothing store, and I was picking out things for him and saying 'this would look great on you.' I would think that an outsider would think that we might be a couple considering the fact that it's Saturday night at the mall, and I'm picking out clothes for him. The store manager was a black man, and he came by and asked him if he needed any help. He told him that he was just looking. Then, the manager came over to me and commented about how stylish I was dressed and wanted to know if I was his personal shopper. I laughed and told him no. He told me then that I could be because I had great taste. I told him thank you and continued to shop. As we were checking out, he asked if we were brother and sister. My friend and I laughed because we don't look like each other at all. My friend told him that we were just good friends. He came over and told the clerk that he would finish the order. He started talking to me and gave me his number as we were leaving.
I thought that was very bold of him. He was very smooth in his approach to find out if my friend and I were together. He didn't know if I was with a friend, boyfriend or husband, but he was willing to do what he had to do because he wanted to talk to me. The reason it made me think of this thread is because most guys wouldn't have even tried to approach me. They would have assumed that I didn't date black men because I was with a white man. Sometimes you just have to go for it if it is something that you want. Even if I didn't date black men, I wouldn't have been offended by what he did. It's flattering even if you aren't interested.
