Im really glad you guys were smart enough not to fall for the scams these guys pulled, I however was not, my ex first approached me when I was vacationing with my mum, so not only was I naive to the whole sankie phenoneom, I was stupid enough to think he must really like me, coz we were at a total party hotel and there were tons of groups of pretty students. Who would have been much easier targets. On top of that, I had not long broken up with a guy, so I was emotional and happy to have someone be nice to me again.
I wasnt comletely drawn in, at that point though, Im not the type of girl who is just gonna sleep with a stranger, no matter how many lines they use. So I refused to leave resort with him and I refused to have sex with him that first trip. Anyways to make a very long story short I was with him for 13months, before I started seeing his true colours, a few months ago.
But Im not bitter, the way I see it, without him I never would have returned to the DR, I never would have stepped out of resort, I never would have seen different parts of the Island, I never would have experienced Dominican living, and most importantly I never would have met the many lovely people I did out there, many of whom are still really good friends. Plus I did get some nice gifts outta him too, which is always good :-) And I would totally hang out and be friends with him in the future, I would just never get back with him.
The worst thing is, I now watch girls falling for the same thing, and you cant say anything once they have met someone, coz they wont listen, they'll believe their guy is "different" of course they will, but everyone has to make their own mistakes.
However saying that, I wish I had known about this site before I had first gone out there, because had I read posts like the previous ones, I never would have given him the time of day in the first place.
Btw MountainFrog you were right, If Im wrong, I say Im wrong, and you told me from the start.
