Black man in Ireland

Tadadadam

Hello, I am new in ireland, today I was approached by a black man, well dressed , seemed okay. I was afraid that he wanna do smth bad to me so I didn't give my number. He gave me his number. How are black men here? Should I add him on whatsap? : )))
P.s: I am not racist. But I never talked with a black man , in my country from which I am there aren't black men.

None of us can advise 'how' any stranger is, based on their skin colour or anything else.
It sounds like you've led a fairly sheltered existence so best advice is probably to avoid connecting with strangers on social media or otherwise. Meeting people and getting to know them through work, school, groups etc would be a safer way to make friends.
Definitely avoid judging people based on their ethnicity, religion etc - I'm sure you'd prefer others wouldn't do so to you.

Can't generalise but why would you give any stranger your number?

Most black men here are from Africa, often Nigeria. Cultural differences can mean they don't appeal to everyone.

No I didn't give my number , he gave me his number (after seeing that I am not going to give my number)

OP: if you are unsure of giving anyone your number....then don't.
He's just a man who obviously just liked what he saw, and had the guts to ask you for your number. Regardless of colour, we are all members of the one race...the human race. I'm really interested to know where did you come from that in 2016 you have never seen a black person in person. That's just weird.
Anyway best of luck whatever you decide.

Oh come on, a black man isn't any more likely to do something bad to you than a white man or an Asian man. In fact in Ireland there is a higher chance of a white man hurting you than there is of anyone else hurting you.

How can your life have been so sheltered that you think this is okay?

Yeah this is a broad question to be honest, regardless of skin colour keep your witts about you and be careful who you meet. One thing I have to ask, where did you come from that there were no black people?

Seriously OP? I don't even know where to begin. Please go and read the charter to educate yourself on what is and isn't of an acceptable standard in Personal Issues. Thread closed.
