Using a throwaway, but I need real advice, not "be yourself" shit. Okay, so I'm black, and I like white guys. Mostly because I find them cute and different, and I'm tired of the expectation that because I'm black, I HAVE to end up with another black person.

But I'm seem to have trouble actually getting anywhere, although I get interested looks, drunken comments at bars..it's almost like I give off a vibe that I'm not into them. Advice on how to fix?

Hard factors: 23, 5'4, 115lbs. Bachelors in Political Science, Job in NYC, financially secure, no kids.

I consider myself a solid 8, after 8th grade no ones called me ugly at least. I get the "you're so pretty" at least once a week on the streets, so I don't think I'm unattractive in that sense. Can't figure out what I'm missing/places I should be going.

EDIT: This actually includes other races as well. I'm just going for interesting really. So if your Asian, Arabic, Hispanic (although I don't have problems with them) feel free to throw out your tips as well.
