Default Just wanted to vent a little....

Of course, another story of how someone went down to the RD and "found" someone.
It seems that I have met someone worth actually knowing. We spent almost two weeks together, went out to eat, went shopping, etc. Had a great time together. I am at about a low to medium level for spanish, and trying to improve, so some communication was there. We have been talking on the phone since about twice a week and I am going back in May again.
I guess, I just wanted to say that even here in Canada relationships are always tricky but with being so far away there are times you just don't know what really is going on. It isn't that I don't trust her, if she is with other people, well, then there is nothing left to discuss. However, if we really can have something, crazy with the distance, I wish I had some way of being more assured. It is just my insecurity, life is life, and if this works great, if not, I have had worse lessons.
Any other thoughts?

Default Have you read

Hillbilly's Three Golden Rules for Dating a Dominican!

www.dr1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33125

They are worded primarily for women (or girls) but I am lead to believe they can be applied equally well to any relationship involving a Dominican.

Post her picture as we can see if we know her - there is a 50% chance I do if she's within 20 Km of Boca Chica.

The choice is really up to you but long distance relationships that take place in two different countries are alot of work, and especially in resort areas you are bound to think whats she doing or whats he doing when i am not there. If you can live with this and make it around the obstacles all the power to you, but don't ever think it will be easy because it won't.

Default The unfortunate nitty-gritty of all of this is

If she did you she has done hundreds before you and is doing someone right now. While youth blooms that is all she has going for her. No education, no real future beyond the hope she can land somebody to take her away. In a few years, she'll try to make it to Puerto Rico...

Sorry, and I hope you used protection!! If not, get checked for HIV!!

The best way to cope is to focus only on the things that you can control. There is no way of knowing what the person is doing while you are away, so don't bother racking your brain. the only thing u do know is that when you are together you have the time of your lives, so focus on that.

It's nice to see that you met someone nice, just understand the facts and don't let your emotional attachment get the best of you. You will have to send her money soon, as the tengo gripe story is on its way to you but hey only spend what you feel is reasonable.

Keep calling her, enjoy her companionship and wear "it" out in May.
