Dating question

Ok, I chatted with this guy on a dating website. What is wrong with people? Why the hell they want to know about ethnicity and race for dating as if like a job? He obviously saw my picture and said, "Do you date black guys?" what does that supposed to mean? I am on that dating site to find someone and i agreed to chat with him to get to know him so what is the point in asking the same question again and again, "Do you date black guys? Many people date their own kind and what is your race?"

This is the reason people stick to their 'own kind' because even though people like me are open enough to want to get to know and date anyone, there are people who come up with stuff on 'race', 'ethnicity'. Instead of getting to know the person, if people waste good amount of time on these trivial things, when the hell are they going to get to know the other person for who they are and even date?

Now, that guy asked if we could exchange numbers. I replied him, "Let's see if we have anything in common by chatting few days and we can exchange the numbers."

I am hesitant to exchange the numbers or meet him because if for some other reason, i don't feel he is not the right person for me to date, he will obviously say, "you rejected me because i am black or i am not rich."

Why can't people date just because they like the person or they have common interests that can lead to a good relation instead of all this race, ethnicity, rich, poor stuff.

My first thought was that if he is a Black man then he must by default have had experiences in the past that make him want to get that question out of the way upfront.

With regards to not giving him your no. before getting to know him better is concerned, I think you're doing the right thing, regardless of his skin colour.
