I have read through almost every post on here regarding sankies, good, bad and everything in between. It was nice to see a posting about "what makes a good Domincan Man" And i had to post, so i have cut and pasted it here, because i know how terrible some of these guys can be, and i know very few are sincere, i have seen it time and time again. But like evrywhere else in the world, where there are bad, manipulative men, there are good sincere men, Just tread carefully, the same way you would if you were in your own Country. So here are my two cents on a very decent guy.
Hello, well i am pretty new to this site and have to say i have been quite intimidated to ever write anything, until i read this post. I have to agree that there are good and bad men, everywhere, even here in Canada. It is nice to see what people consider a good Dominican Man. I know everyone thinks their guy is ligitimate, lol but this post made me truly beleive and be proud to say so.I have been with a man from the Dominican Republic for 3 years now, when i first met him i was quite skepitcal, because i have heard so many stories,and seen things with my own eyes, since i am a frquent visitor. but i guess the stories helped me along the way, and helped me see that he was a good guy. Things that made me see he was different were, We are great friends, i go see him as often as i can, he says he doesnt want to leave his country, he loves it there, he is very proud. He is 36 years old, and has never wanted to leave. However on my last visit we did discuss him comming for a visit. But it took 3 years of us together before we even contemplated that step.When i go there, he is so proud, the other workers will come up and say hello, and say arent you so and so's Girlfriend, it is quite nice. He has recently changed hotels so when i went back i didnt stay at his hotel, He went to his boss and got me and my girlfriend guest passes to go watch his shows, he had drinks and a table ready for us, at the end of his show he walked to the end of the stage and kissed my cheek.he always introduces me as his girlfriend. I guess it has been long enough that people know who i am and when his friends see me they too will introduce me to others as his GF.We leave the resort areas, and go to local clubs which i love.I also spend nights at his aprtment, which he shares with other people, who kindly accomodate me. He has NEVER asked me for money, and when iam there he takes me on dates and he ALWAYS pays.He calls me, i call him,We do not tell each other that we are in love, but we do share how much we care about each other. Even though it has been 3 years, it is not 3 years of being together every day, so there is no way to know if it is real love, But i know it is definetly real Friendship and admiration. We have had our share of disagreements, that is normal, you swear we have been married for 20 yrs.I have seen so many people have their hearts broken when i go there, and i just want to say i am thankful everyday for the man i have met, and i hope that we can still have faith in each other, and make more wonderful memories for many years to come, even if it is Long Distance. So thank you for this post, It just helped me realize what i thought i always knew. That if you take your time, become friends, really talk and communicate, then who knows maybe you will become someone lucky enough to find something special, as i feel i have. Will it ever become more, I dont know, we both talk and realize we are from different worlds, and there are many obstacles to overcome, so we as a couple have decided, to enjoy what we have, not to rush into anything, keep our communications open, try and spend as much time together as possible, and in time, we will both know in our hearts what will be the right thing to do. Until then, we enjoy what we both have found, so here is to 3years and counting.
