Greg, you seem like a nice guy.
Naive, but nice!
All is not what it seems here in the DR.
If you met your "Friend" on line, that in itself is a red flag.
Did you go to the place where she is working, or did she tell you she was working???
Number one question, did you have sex with her the first time she came to your hotel???
If the answer is "Si!", don't you think she is doing the same thing with her other "Internet "Friends"?????
Chances are very high that you are being "HAD"!
That's not a bad thing, everyone pays for sex, one way or another.
Dominicanas are beautiful,sexy, and available!
Probably much better than you get at "home", if you are getting "ANY" at "home" that is.
If you had fun with her, great!
You just need to realize that you are just "One-Of-Many"!
You don't need to become her "Patron Saint" to have a good time with her.
You don't need to send money to her, or gifts either.
Give her a thousand pesos for every day she spends with you,more is too much.
She won't "Like" you anymore if you bury her in "Stuff"!
Let her other friends do that.
You probably know nothing about this girl, and you probably never will!
I have been there, and "Done That" many , many times. Had fun, spent a fortune, BEFORE I got SMART!
Most likely, you will too.
Men always like to think that we are special in any woman,s eyes, we ain't!
Keep us posted we all love a "Love Lost" story.
