Hi, I just got back from DR and as I had a request to update you on my story, here it is:
I had an amazing time, everything went better than I could have hoped. I met a great group of fun Canadians on the resort who spent my days with me and knew where I would be, and in the evenings I would meet up with my guy with no fear, because my instincts told me that I could trust him.
I will be honest with you - yes, he does exhibit the latin possessiveness, the passion, and the machismo, but I was also treated with complete respect, and I felt like a princess all week. If he has his eyes on the prize, (whatever ulterior motive he might have had) than he hid it well behind his sincerity. His family and friends spoke highly of him, and the evident richness and genuinness of his relationships with them impressed me.
No one falls in love in 7 days, but I will admit that I am infatuated with this man. And I know for a fact that there will be no requests for anything involving western union, ever. I'm not looking at marriage or babies and I'm not even saying that this will become a lasting relationship, as distance is a b*tch. But for the record, if I could make an assessment now, this would absolutely be a success story, because he is a great guy, we had a fantastic and meaningful time together, and if this is all it turns out to be, than it will be a cherished memory.
I won't to go into details here as this is now my personal story and I do not feel that it belongs in a sankie forum.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
Thanks for all your advice.
