I think I'm entering a similar phase in my life, and it's rather frightening...but it makes me more aware of not limiting my choice of who I wind up with.

I would prefer to marry/connect with a Black man. But if that doesn't happen, I'm open to new ideas. The most important thing, like you said, is that they understand me and we can build something together. That's hard enough to find without worrying about color. :)
