White Men Dating Black Women

white men dating black women 460

I have been reading many interesting articles and some books attempting to probe into some of the reasons why more and more white men are beginning to date black women, why others still don’t, and why some may still be oppose to it. So first, why are white men dating black women?

As a white man dating black women, I am going to give you my perspective on this topic. As a clarification, I want to make it clear that I don’t try, at least not consciously, to limit myself…

Dear Mikko, Am I Having A Facebook Affair?

Facebook_affairs_small

Dear Mikko,

I once dated this one guy briefly. I have never slept with him, but there is a lot of sexual chemistry between us. We are now friends. He has a girlfriend, but sometimes we start chatting on Facebook and he is very flirtacious with me. He is very good looking and I know I have a soft spot for good-looking guys. He keeps reminding me how sexy I am and what a great time we used to have together. I feel like the conversations we are having are little inappropriate…

Dear Mikko, Why Men Pull Away?

the most beautiful dear mikko question

Dear Mikko,

I met a guy with whom I have great chemistry. We have shared great time together. We have shared passionate kisses, stimulating conversations, and laughter. I once told him that I wanted us to see if we can nurture this relationship into something mesmerizing and he agreed. It’s been a great 4 weeks, now he is pulling back. At first I was a little perplexed and tried to understand. Now I just feel a bit hurt, and I am not sure about our growing friendship and the future of…

Dating Up-Date – Why Do Men And Women Play Dating Games?

why_do_we_play_dating_games

Here is what some of you have been waiting for ☺. A short dating up-date from my personal life :) . My date and I went to a nice jazz club last Saturday and they had a killer band playing. I used my strategy to compliment her (see my previous post: How To Compliment A Woman?) and scored some brownie points (At least so I hope ☺).

After the jazz club she wanted to go salsa dancing, so we headed to a local salsa club (I think she just wanted to see my…

how_to_compliment_a_woman

Since I am going to a nice Jazz club for a date here in San Francisco tonight, I thought I would write a reminder to myself about how to compliment a woman :) .This way when I see her, I will be more likely to remember to give her a good compliment and to score some brownie points ☺.

But before I start, let me get something off my chest. The funny thing about being a dating coach is this. While I do have great knowledge and understanding about the dating process,…

My Recent Embarrassing Dating Moment – I Fell On My Face

mikko_Kemppe_ice_skating_bw

I thought I would share a recent embarrassing moment from one of my recent dating adventures.

It is a lot of fun for me to write and coach others about relationships. And it is very easy for me to sit in my ivory tower to ditch out advice to those in need.

But I have recently realized that by simply writing about relationship and dating advice from a status of an expert somewhat removes my ability to share with you how I personally try to practice what I preach.

So this…

When Is The Right Time To Have Sex? My Personal Quest To Find The Answer.

right time to have sex

It is interesting to me how I sometimes begin to choose the topics for my blog posts based on the questions that I am personally struggling with in my life.

Or sometimes someone asks a question that seems to force me to become clearer about some personal issue to me that I am either dealing with or have dealt with in the past.

Having said this, it is no different with this post.

Without going to personal details, let me share something with you.

Friend of mine asked me not…

Dear Mikko, Where Is The Happy Medium?

cup of coffee

Dear Mikko,

Why is it that men seem to come in only two extremes, either they are talking serious commitment after first coffee date or they’re just completely non-committal? Where’s the happy medium?

And the follow up question my friends and I have been asking lately is: “where’s the alpha male?” I dated this one guy a couple of years ago and we were hanging out at a restaurant having drinks. I went to the restroom and when I returned he told me that it looked like I had a message…
