Even though I went out with white guys (I'm a black woman), I KNEW my husband would be black

I respect your right to marry within your own group, if you wish, but, don't you think you were defrauding those white guys (of their time, their money, and perhaps in some cases their emotions as well) by accepting dates from them when you *knew* you'd never marry one?

My rule always was, I wouldn't date anyone that I knew, up front, I wouldn't marry. Of course, for a fornicator looking to have a good time, dating women he'd never marry would be okay -- but as a Christian I saw no other reason to date, other than to seek marriage.

I believe you have confused dating with courting.

At the time, I wasn't saved so I didn't care. And, really, it wasn't that much time, money or emotion involved. They probably saw me as some "piece of chocolate" to taste for a little while.

And that's what I was at the time: a fornicator looking to have a good time.
