My Response---Kathy, people of all races RUSH INTO relationships, that's not a black thing. The entertainment industry programs us to "Fall in love" and get swept off our feet and live happily ever after. Fantasy is more marketable than reality when it comes to relationships.
But I would agree that people in general need to learn to date! Economics plays a large part in dating, it cost money to date, especially if you're a man, and let's face it, the playing field hasn't been exactly level for men of color. JMO
