1. Due to the brotherhood of the bad boys.
2. Females never say "something similar"....
3. The OP gave a sober account of what happened so far.
Females trumpet about their dream guy whom they
luckily and by coincident found in hotel xyz in the animation
team shortly before they returned home.

I want to believe she sincerly cares about you but you have to admit you do fit a cetain profile that would make her intentions rather obvious to everyone else around you.

Keep us posted, though-it would be great if it works out. The only thing I would suggest is to get two dictionaries instead of one. You're gonna get tired of passing it around all day.

Why screw up a good thing?
Look they are having fun-sharing-talking etc. Two dict. are for OLD folks. You sit there I sit here. You read- I read etc. C'mon leave them alone and dont break the spell. Besides 2 dict. cost money

Such an investment only makes sense if the difference in height requires it.

Go with your gut. If you are thinking of marrying her, you really have to have a "separación de bienes" signed by her before a Notary. this will protect you in case the worst happens. If you have children abroad, their inheritance is protected as well.

If her kids start to get sick all the time, if her mother is dying of something if her second cousin twice removed has scabbies on his privates, then you have to start thinking about a change. Likewise if there is pressure to go to the US or Canada or anyplace besides Santo Domingo...

Be very careful, since you represent an huge change in the lives of these people. You are vulnerable...

And you should know that there are thirty something and forty something women with private fortunes that are interested in finding a good man...but none of them are on the North Shore or in any tourist areas...

Just curious...how and where did you meet her? What does she do for work or how does she support her kids?

My advice: learn Spanish, preferably in secret. If she doesn't know you understand and she's got bad intentions, you'll overhear something incriminating eventually. If you overhear nothing but good things then you'll know for sure, and be able to speak Spanish with her...no more dictionaries.

Either way, if you're having fun and no one's getting hurt or kidding themselves, where's the harm?

In Sosua is a good school where you can learn basic spanish in a couple of weeks.

I agree with all the advise given. Take your time dont rush. If you have family and intend on leaving anything/everything to them make sure you get this in writing before getting married. Better yet why get married? Just live together. Why ruin a good thing? If she genuinely loves you she will accept being your friend. Hell if you want to push it you "could" move her into your hotel as a free guest?

Anyhow I wish you the best of luck if this is what your looking for. Just be careful as im sure everyone is telling you and move slow.

Lucky she can read. Not always the case for "country girls".

We spend our time passing the English-Spanish dictionary back and forth. Some evenings are spent out on the town or at my hotel and others at her shanty with her children. I am going forward with this relationship regardless but I am interested in what this forum has to say.

How many kids does she have? How old are they? Was she ever married? If you are not concerned with her past, it does not matter I guess.

Actually, there were women here who wrote something similar (I read threads about successful relationships) but no one believes them anyway. I noticed men in general have no trust in other men when it concerns relationships with women; I guess they know what they are talking about
