Here’s the question I received:

Dear Christelyn,I am an introverted , somewhat shy, Black  girl interested in interracial dating. I am a freshman in college and I have noticed my tendency to be scared of the male populace. This is a distressing matter for me because I would like to have a boyfriend sooner than later. I’ve never had one. Matter of fact, I’ve never been close with a guy as friends or other wise. I’ve liked White guys in college but I’m not sure if they’d want to date me. Their is this blonde guy that sits in my Anthropology class. Most of our class interactions consists of me staring/looking at him and him staring/looking at me. I think he’s a nice guy. I don’t even know his name but I want to know him! The way he interacts in class and with the teacher is admirable. I’m thinking of approaching him next week but I’m not sure how to do it. What is the right way to do these types of things? Should I approach him at all?

What say you, BB&W?
