Then my SO, who is white,comes over and I introduce her to him and she gives me this look like..."oh"... like she was dissapointed or something and looks him up and down. I Thought that was weird.

But anyways, I thought I'd be open minded and exchange numbers. I lost hers LOL but she never called to hang out. I'm not usually the type to just randomly talk to and hang out with people I barely know but thought we had stuff in common. What could that have been about? Or maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions.

After we left my SO said that she looked at us weird after meeting him. I thought it was weird that she brought up dating black guys like I cared.

I Mean, is she now discusted that I'm with a white Guy and decided she didn't want to be friends with someone like that look?

THERE ARE SOME STRANGE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD.
It's been my experience (I'm 46 and have dealt with her type more times than I care to count) that they are usually trying to surround themselves with as many "real" black people as possible (as bait for black men), often use typically black colloquialisms/slang/"accents" that they were not raised with, and you DQ'd yourself from that group by dating a white man. This type of woman also doesn't like light-skinned black women like me because we aren't "black enough" for them (if you can believe that ish) and often use any biracial children they have from previous relationships as "bait" for attracting other black men--sort of a marketing tool. Oh, yes, I have experienced it firsthand SEVERAL times. This type of woman, while she likes to duplicitously surround herself with black female friends, also typically considers herself to be better and more desirable than black women to black men, and she'll laugh about this with her white friends behind her black "friends'" backs (yes, I've experienced this as well.) That you have a white SO was likely intimidating to her and that you probably weren't going to be good "black man bait" for her.

Does anything I've said describe that woman?

Please note that I did not say "all" nor do I mean this to include all non-black women in or open to relationships with black men--I'm talking about a specific type of woman, and we all know them when we encounter them. My husband is white, I am part-white, and I have no issues with interracial relationships AT ALL. My son is multiracial and his girlfriend is Chinese. I couldn't care less about that--except that her parents hate my son's ethnic makeup--even when they thought he was just a "dirty filipino."

I'm simply giving my anecdotally-based opinion of this particular woman and women I believe to be like her. This is the kind of woman who others often describe as "trying to be black" or "acting black."
Not wanting to generalize too much but yes, I've seen this. More common than I once realized and rather disturbing.
+ 2 and yes, it is very disturbing.
