Dear Author,
Larry is a flirt and a sweet guy under a bit of swagger. He is tired of one night stands and wants to find a real relationship but he has a hard time staying away from the hook-up sites. Because... sex. Larry feels the sting of being rejected automatically because of his race. But he still has a positive attitude and rolls with the punches. He won't ignore elephants in the room, however; which sometimes leaves people uncomfortable.

"Beautiful eyes" is a snarky, young, driven professional who won't be guilted into making a connection. He isn't even looking for Mr. Right... but he likes Larry's open face and broad shoulders and is charmed despite himself. Will "Eyes" give Larry a chance when his friends (or colleagues, family) seem less than enthusiastic? Can he grow up enough to accept a relationship that requires some work and commitment?
Can Larry set aside his patter and flirtatiousness enough to let "Eyes" see the sensitive guy hiding?
Photo Description:
A screenshot of a chat session from an online dating app. The conversation is one-sided, opening with a compliment, then a selfie of a grinning young man with dark skin and a charming smile. His last message begins by announcing his race like a disclaimer: "It's okay if you're not into black guys... a lot of people on here aren't."
