Default Should I get into a serious relationship?

I just got back from DR and had a blast. I actually never planned to meet any woman for a serious relationship in DR.I had planned a trip to do all sorts of tourist activities. I met her a few days after arriving. We talked and kind of hit off. She took me all over DR and had a great time. We even went dancing at a couple of local night clubs. She introduce me to all her friends and even help me pay Dominican prices in DR, instead of tourist fees. We drove through the mountains and picked up school children and others along the way. I met the family and they cooked me food and there is not a thing I don't think she left out from me. My question is I really liked this girl and we get along great and she calls me all the time since I have been back, should I get seriously involve with her? And I know once getting seriously involve we would eventually have to be together and mostly likely she would be staying with me in the U.S.

Things were sounding good 'till the last sentence.
Everything changes when you bring her to your country.
The passionate fantasy dream world quickly turns into your most terrifying nightmare.
Don't go there.

Is there any reason? I am a little confuse about getting serious with her, because of things like that.

One could write a book on that topic.
Suffice to say that it is a mere observation.
One could speculate and theorize 'till the cows come home, whereas I take the practical approach.
If 99% of the cases end up that way, that's enough for me.
I don't need to have a deep insightful understanding of why.
Just knowing that the danger is there and being forewarned so that I can avoid it, is enough for me.
If you truly want a long term relationship with a Dominican woman, move here.

Did you meet her in the bars or hanging out in the tourist area ?
If Yes.... my answer is NOOOOOOO.
But if you meet her in a different situation . My answer is... take your time before getting into a serious relationship.

I say go for it. She sounds like a great catch. Just make sure that you have a little money put aside for when her poor mother gets sick.

I moved my mother-in-law to Canada with us, so I'd know when she is sick. Really, do you people have such a low opinion of Dominican women? You may be entirely right about this girl or you may be entirely wrong. I have only met 3 Dominican women besides my wife here in Canada that are married to Gringos- and all 3 Gringos are still happy after 5 or more years. I actually prefer my wife in the DR as she is less stressed and dresses better., but that doesn't mean she is terrible in Canada.
Its good advice not to jump into any relationship and take your time and make sure its real, but don't slag the girl when you know nothing about her.
