I don't recommend starting on black- it will probably be too bitter for you- but you can try it out of curiosity. What I recommend doing is this: Go to your local grocery store and buy a bottle of pre-made coffee like Starbucks bottled frappuccino or mocha-chino (really good if you like chocolate). Buy several flavors, go home and chill them- then have a tasting party! They're really mild (as far as bitterness) and extremely delicious chilled (as it is summer right now). They look like this:

After discovering how delicious coffee is, just start going to a coffee house and trying things one by one to discover what you like. The blacker the coffee, the more you have to aquire a taste for it (at least for me). I can now drink black coffee (though it's not my favorite way), but I remember at first not liking it or understanding the appeal. Now I understand the appeal. Aside from being delicious with some cream and sugar, coffee is like sunshine in a cup. It brightens your whole day! :-D
