So basically I understand that dating a black woman is different than a white woman. She mentioned she feels comfortable when someone is open to learn and takes initiative to learn the societal and cultural things that affect her as a black woman. I don’t know what this means. And the take initiative part confuses me. And I’m not sure how to go about it I’m very open minded to learn but should I probe with questions or more so reading about it myself?

I’d like this relationship to go somewhere (so far had 4 dates) but her telling me that felt deep and I want to make sure I take right steps

    Be very vulnerable about learning from them

    What does that mean?

      Admit your cultural blind spots, admit you don’t have a lot of experience in black culture, let them know you want to learn but don’t want to seem pushy, let them know you might make some mistakes or overstep cultural norms but you mean no offence and only want to learn etc.
