Hi all

I don't know if this is appropriate in this forum but I have an issue that I need some advice on.

I just turned 28 and I am done with dating around (no that I have even done a lot of that) and ready to settle down in my life. Ever since I was a teen I have been into Japanese culture (by way of video games/language/etc), and learned Japanese in high school, but have not had the chance to ever date a Japanese woman. I have dated Korean, Vietnamese, White, and Black women, but never even tried to pursue a Japanese woman. The only Japanese woman I had the chance to pursue in college was VERY good looking so I didn't want to risk rejection. I just flirted with her all the time but never asked her out.

I have pretty much known all along that my destiny was to be with a Japanese woman, kind of an instinct, that is the type of woman and culture that I am compatible with. This is not a chase of a gaijin having Japanese fever or anything like that, I have been involved with Japanese people and their culture for a very long time and have had (male) Japanese friends from Japan in the past, although I currently do not.

So here is the real problem and why I am posting on this forum:

1. At this time of my life I have no Japanese friends or contacts to even have a chance of meeting a nice Japanese lady.
2. There is a very small community of Japanese people where I live, so my opportunities to work myself into a Japanese social circle are small.
3. I am black, so I know this is going to lower my chances even further.

So I need some suggestions on how I should pursue my quest. I appreciate your advice. Thanks.
