I was researching some stuff that happened while I was recently in Puerto Plata and actually wanted to get some opinions from others who seem much more knowledgable about DR culture and sankies.
I just returned from an all inclusive stay. I'll break things down
We were 4 people (3 female, 1 male) out for relaxing vacation. Spent the 1st few days at different beaches and would always end up at the pool bar after dinner and then to the evening shows and disco. Roughly our 2nd night there some of the animators started hanging out with us, chatting with our male friend about their families and what not. It was pretty mellow despite them at times getting up to "work". Every night we would end up hanging out with the animators, one in particular became interested in me. Frequently "fighting" over me. This was funny because I definitely wasn't seeking the attention, I'm not unattractive (30, slim, blonde) but was there for vacation not a drunk fest. My male friend told me that this particular animator had asked alot of questions about me, nothing inappropriate or $ related, just interest.
He began spending more and more time with me when we were out, other people actually commented that he was spending TOO much "public" time with me just sitting quietly and holding my hand and chatting. His personality when talking was very different from his "show" persona, the ladies LOVE him and he is very poplar and social with ALL the ladies, especially the older ones.
No mentions of "love" or $$ or my "status" other than making sure I wasn't married. Never asked for a room number or email or anything like that either.
After hours we made out and went our separate ways. I liked him but definitely wasn't hooked or seeking him out.
The following day I saw him around and we would all joke and laugh and have a good time, right before the evening show he says "I have to talk to you later", it was so serious. Even a few others took notice.
Directly after the show, still in costume, he comes out in the theatre and talks to me. He really likes me, wants to spend some time with me before I leave when he is off etc...
I work with children and families in crisis and for the most part can spot bull a mile away (case in point a few of the other animators!!). He seemed sincere. But again I was interested not hooked.
I was always still able to go about my vacation and be with my friends even when he would ask if I'd stick around or miss dinner out, I chose my plans.
A few more days went by like this, hanging out too much in public, asking my male friend and girlfriends permission to spend time with me etc. Relaxed. Not a sales pitch.
I did end up going off the resort with him. We talked before hand and he said he wanted to spend some time alone, that he lived 35mins away and wanted me comfortable to return the the resort anytime I wanted (the resort is very much outside of puerto plata). He told me what cabanas (walking distance) were and asked if I would mind the privacy. Being level headed and wasn't drinking I agreed to go.
We went, he paid for the room intending to spend the night (I chose not too). While we were there we talked and yes were intimate. A very different persona than the "animator". When I told him I would not spend the night but return to the resort he agreed and drove me back.
The following day would be his day off and I was leaving that night. He asked if he could call me on his friends phone and if there was time perhaps we could meet to say goodbye.
Which is exactly what happened the following afternoon, minus he goodbye because I ran out of time.
I do still like him and have given him contact info via his friend.
Genuine or sankie????
