Great post. And you hit the nail right on the head when you realized that he ignored you the day after making his move.
Just so you know this is not the prevailing attitude of all dominicans, but as tourists on vacation we seem to be a magnet for these characters, especially in the AI resorts.
I remember spending quite an evening with a lady and we had what I would call a very interesting and stimulating conversation.
While in the disco she asked me for money to take a moto home and I told her I didn't have any. She screeched in disapproval and waved me off.
The next day it was the same as what happened to you. She walked by me as if she didn't know me. I found it funny and sad at the same time that these people are so dismissive of tourists they can't get over on. What a pathetic way to live ones' life.
