Default Can it work?????

My story started in May this year when I took my holiday with my family to the DR. On my second day I met a bloke who works at the hotel, we started chatting which progressed to flirting and we arranged to go on a date. After our first date we spent the rest of my holiday together.

Since i returned home we've spoken every other day and I've just returned from spending another week with him when I met his family and we had a fantastic time. I've genuinely fallen for him but i'm still not sure if i'm just being used. When ever we gone out anywhere I've always paid for everything. He has suggested we get married but i refused on my last visit but I am considering it for next time. Still not sure if I'm one of many girls helping to improve his standard of living.

I'd also like to look into him coming to visit the uk for a couple of weeks as if things do progress to marriage i think it would be best if he knew what he was getting into coming to England as its not quite streets paved with gold as most seem to expect. I'm planning on returning to the DR early next year for a couple of week with my daughter so they can spend more time together and get to know each other better.

I've read loads of bad stories in the forums and don't want my relationship to become one of them. With him working in a hotel there are new girls there all the time and i'm struggling to believe he's staying faithful and i do have my moments of jealously.

I'm 28 so i'm not totally niave and he's 24.

Can anyone offer any advice I'm trying to keep my eyes wide open but it's becoming more difficult as my feelings grow stronger.

Are there any genuine dominican guys who fall in love and are not after financial gain or relocation? Your comments would be appreciated.

Welcome I'll try to be nice before the barracudas come out

Please read your post as if someone else wrote it. If you met a bloke in the UK and he asked you to get married after a couple of dates would you marry him? You paid for everything and you are asking if you'll be improving his lifestyle? Do I really need to answer that?

You're telling me that at least he didn't try to fake it by paying the first couple of times with other's money. Please do charity work, why not improve someone else's life what the heck it's only money.

Here's info for you to read. Articles and threads about Sankies


Why doesn't anyone ever write and tell us they actually got out of the resort and met some bloke with a real job

Sorry people after 7 years it gets tiresome

The way I see it.....the chances are almost 100% that he's a Sankie and has plans to use you--but wait, who's to say at this point? If you follow all the advice the "barracudas" are about to give, you could be missing out on your soulmate. I'm glad I'm not in your shoes.

Deep in your gut you already know the answers to these questions.

Sorry.

if you met a man with these same issue in the UK, would you marry him? if so, are you ready to carry that type of weight around?

I have a pair of glasses you can borrow. They are quite well used but I hope the prescription works for you too. Kinda like coke bottle bottom ones.
You will need them.

You will hear a lot here but I am wondering if you have really read the other threads or posts here about this?

Good Luck. Sincerely wish you well just be careful. Wait six months to a year then see.

You've obviously never read any of the posts about sankies, because if you did you would'nt even have started this monumentally retarded thread.

It's nice to know the stupid gringas are alive and kicking in the UK.

But before I let up, ask yourself this-would you actually consider dating or even looking at a man of his educational, financial and employment background in the UK? And one who does'nt speak english? Is the answer no? Gee, are there no lowlifes to be found in Sheffield or Manchester or wherever the hell you're from?

You know what you are to him-A WHITE YOLA, that's it.
