Hello Everyone,
I have read many of the reviews posted on this forum and I would like to thank everyone for giving their honest input as many of their views have impacted my understanding of the R.D. culture. Thanks !!!
I have an issue that require some understanding and of course your honest input
I really need your help......
Background:
I have been living in Toronto for about 15 years and living in such a cosmopolitan country I have had the honour of meeting many people from all over the world (including many people from R.D. who resides in T.O.) I was born and I lived in Trinidad for about 10years so I do understand the island concept of drinking, eating, dancing and enjoying life to the fullest.....I have had one Dominican boyfriend about 11/2 yrs ago and now I?m dating another Dominican from Puerto Plata who I met here in Toronto.
Oh, I know the R.D culture fairly well as I went to university with many people both male and female from R.D and I was able to visit your country and learn a little about the culture.
So here goes???????????????
Problem:
Why are Dominican men so hard to understand? When they meet me it?s all good.. I?m fairly fluent in Spanish, I know how to cook and dance Merengue and Bachata well but I still do not understand what a Dominicano wants?I have been told I look Dominicana which they really like ..but the problem lies in my independent ways.. After living up here for 15 yrs Canada makes you from very independent and apparently Dominicanos do not like it?.why???? What do independent ways mean??? I do not want to control them but I want to share in the experiences of a relationship together??.
I have discussed this situation with my other friends and they believe it?s a struggle between traditional Dominican ways vs. liberal Canadian ways?.Can we strike a balance in order to make our relationship work ???? OR Is it a lost cause ????
If anyone can give me some input on how I can understand the mindsets when it comes to relationships with Dominicanos please feel free to post??.
Thanks, Toronto Girl 11
