I can't believe I fell for it!

I just came back from a week in Punta Cana and had such an amazing time. The weather was great and the resort was fabulous. I stayed at Melia Caribe

The first morning I went for breakfast a waiter named Mario came over to the table and told me how beautiful I was and just stood there and stared for no kidding - 10 minutes. I thought as friggin if! I am just a little jaded when it comes to men and I right away thought, here we go. I ignored him but it didn't stop. Everyday I saw him he would come over and tell me how beautiful I was and that he liked me so much. Bit by bit he actually wore me down. I know you've heard it all before.

One night we went to "Mangu Disco" and we danced and kissed all night. He didn't even try to have sex with me which I thought was suprising. We were leaving and some of the other girls we were with had got in a taxi with some of the "entertainers" from the resort to go back to our hotel. "Mario" saw who was in the cab as he walked me to it and said he didn't think I should go with them as they were bad guys. I told him that all the girls go together and he gave me a hug and kiss goodbye.

The next morning some of the girls I was with went to breakfast and he asked where I was. They said they didn't know and he started to panic. Then another one of the girls walked in and he ran over to her to ask where I was and she said I was on my way. They all said he looked worried. When I got there he asked me if I would go to see his Mama. I was on a work convention so couldn't go.

He gave me his number and asked for mine after the 3rd day and I have to admit I didn't think he would call. I had 2 messages from his cell by the time I got home and he has phoned me every night for the past 5 days. He doesn't speak much english and I don't speak much spanish so we have a hard time communicating but we manage.

He has told me he really likes me and loves me. He didn't try to have sex and has not asked me for money.

After reading all the posts on here I am quite upset with myself that I even considered he was not like the other resort guys. I guess I have been taken in?? Any advice?

Advice: Don't flaunt how much $$$ you got.... and tell him you live 3 days away from the closest Western Union...

Who knows, he might not be a sankie, I know people that have met dominicans at hotels and they're not sankies...

BUT... better be safe than sorry !!!

Maybe you really are every bit as beautiful as he thinks you are. Post your picture.

Why do you think you have been "taken in" and why not give it some more time.He didn't ask for sex or money.He has called you several times.He could very well be a sankie and waiting to make the right moves so you would give him money but he hasn't as of yet so why close the door if you have any feelings toward him.Soon as he asks (if he does) slam the door then.They are not all out to get us.Still be careful.

I was reading all the posts about Dominican men and I have to tell you I really wish I hadn't. I really do like him but now have all these doubts in my head that he is just using me after hearing all these stories. I really did start to like him and when he called again tonight I didn't answer. I feel bad as I don't know whether to follow my heart and book another trip down right away there like I was planning to do or just write it off.

I am having a hard time with this as I have had a couple of long relationships here in Canada with Canadian men who have totally turned out to be losers. I agree that it is not only Dominican men who cheat as I have had first hand experience with it. That is one of the reasons I am now feeling really cautious as I don't want to have that happen again. I don't want to go through all that heartache again. But isn't the saying it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all? .

Thanks for all the posts. They have made me feel better about it already. I was really feeling stupid for letting him get to me after reading about all those sankies! But like I said he hasn't asked me for anything yet so maybe I will just see what happens and go from there. And I really do want to go back there soon!! Thanks everyone!

No need to hurry back down there. He is not likely going anywhere. Tranquillo.

Some sankies play a fast game, while others play a slow loooooong game, and some are playing both at the same time.

Q) Dear Shark Doctor,
I go swimming everyday with the sharks.
While I was on vacation, I saw this one shark who never tried to attack and eat me.
What should I do?
Do you think we could be friends?

A) Hope he never gets hungry?
Feed him well so he never eats you?
Stop swimming with the sharks?

Just wait, you'll be posting an update soon. don't book another trip yet, you'll see.

I stayed at the resort beside you, I had a waiter do the same thing to me. He asked me to go to Mangu, I didn't go, it is so uncomfortable to sit and have lunch, and theres a guy just staring at you mumbling away....... really, like theres a chance. geeeze
