Okay, I posted about six months ago when I initially separated with my Gringa wife. (http://poorbuthappy.com/colombia/post/single-in-colombia/) I am an executive living in Colombia, have been here for some years -- but always married and hanging out mostly with the stiffer side of the business community. People on this forum gave me some good, if irreverent advice to my last post. I took it to heart and have had some odd experiences being single after twenty years of marriage (!) Women here seem both completely ruthless and weirdly romantic; Miss Jekyll and Miss Hyde! It's quite odd; they are willing to offer themselves up to you emotionally in the most apparently guileless and sweet way, but as soon as you politely decline the offer, the same romantic young woman who was staring bright-eyed at you seconds earlier suddenly stands up, kisses you on the cheek, and walks away without looking back. I am not talking about prepagos -- I am talking about "good girls". And yet I think that if I'd accepted any of these offers the girl in question would have suddenly been revoltingly romantic till the end of time. It's tough for me to understand; I am too practical to understand the schizophrenia. I am not nearly as ruthless as these girls are. I should add that I have no trouble getting dates in my own country. I suppose pride may play a part, and unhappiness at rejection.
Here's my question. Recently at a cocktail I met a hot young woman who seemed rather persistent at getting my number, alleging professional interest. (Which is possible, given that I am twenty years older than she is I didn't think so much about the dating possibility) However, I texted her on a pretext, she texted me back, and kept texting me every other day (never more), and after a couple of weeks and my profession of great desire to dine with her we went out on a date in one of the better restaurants in Bogota. We talked for hours, had a wonderful time she wrote me a passionate thank you note, and the next day I flew off on an international trip for two weeks. During my trip she would text me every other day -- never more -- is there some Latina dating text rule about this? I was spending a lot of time in airports, and whenever I was waiting around we would pass an hour or two texting each other. She was very friendly. I called her a few times from around the world and we would talk. I expressed strong interest in dating her but she kept dodging the question, but still keeping constantly in touch, and telling me in a friendly way that she would tell me when we could go out to dinner. Perhaps she is currently dating somebody? Since my return she has become much more difficult to get hold of yet continues every other day to text me; I decided not to contact her any more. Yet the other day she traveled to another city and as soon as she arrived there texted me to chat -- from a distance. What's she doing? Adding me to her stable of potential sugar-daddies (I make about 100 times more than she does and she can guess that.) I'd guess she's estrato three or four. Has lived abroad. From the coast, originally. Is this some weird Colombian hard to get strategy or is she trying to blow me off?
I am about ready to lose her number -- the Colombian sea is very large, with many fish! -- But I do find this woman charming and don't understand if the problem is that I just don't understand Latina etiquette rules and some need to be bizarre. This has been going on for
a month. I realize I will get ragged in the replies to this post, but I would appreciate any insight you can provide into the Colombiana mind.

I will find out whether the cynics were right. (Though in my experience, the cynics are ALWAYS right.) In the meantime, I will experimentally try something different.

It is too hard to tell the players from the sinceras and so I leave it to you my good man.

Her phone message: "Hi, I heard you were back and was wondering if you wanted to get together for dinner. You know I have changed a lot and things would be different now. Well, call me if you feel like it." As I was driving down the road after listening to the message, these thoughts: Do I feel like it? Do I feel like it? Hell No! I don't feel like it."

LifeChange says on Nov 3, 2009, 15:39: Okay, making a comment on this forum is like walking into a situation comedy set in a weird bar with mysterious curmudgeonly characters who have all chosen bizarre appearances as their id photos -- rockers, girls in bikinis, butterflies, cartoon faces, and odd symbols -- who alternatively give sage advice and then all start insulting each other! It's a dangerous place, to be sure, but I did get lots of good advice from all -- well, most -- of you.. (I won't hire a hit man, which one reckless poster seemed to be suggesting as the best course of action).

miami55 says on Nov 3, 2009, 18:30: It seems weird that people here are classifying colombian women as bad for what all women do. How many relationships really end well in USA or Colombia? They usually end for a reason - be it the guy or girl. To me, a lot of these posts seem to be from guys that aren't used to dating above average girls in the USA and then come to Colombia and find someone above average and are in out of their league in the first place. You guys are giving woman advice about "colombianas" but in reality its just general information about dealing with any type of woman. Its not easy finding a good relationship anywhere, thats why you date until you find the right one..Dating over the internet and thinking you found "the right one" is only going to lead to problems... if you want to date a colombian.. live in Colombia. "My colombiana left me for another guy.. colombianas are bad" Maybe they just got bored that the only words in spanish that you say are chica, colombiana and novia?

Juepaje says on Nov 4, 2009, 01:13: But hwo many Gringas hire vodoo priests and witch doctors to put bad spells on you? This woman was putting her menstrual blood in my food, washing the walls and bed sheets with some kind of mojo steeling soap and I would wake up every morning with a bar of soap in my pillow and God only know how they made that soap. They say if you do this sort of thing that it comes back double on you. She is now married to a wife beater, is very fat and has two children. He doesn't work and she is the sole support of her family. A friend of hers told me that she is pregnant again. I married a beautiful wife, bought a farm and run a successful business and have other real estate around Cordoba. But I really did lose my mojo for a few months. Now that will end up as someone's quote at the bottom of their posts. I know I either said too much or not enough but I never had a voodoo spell put on me in the US. Colombianas can be insane. I am in my 40's now, so ask me when I am in my 60's if I understand them any better. I only have 15 years experience with them.

Buongone says on Nov 5, 2009, 21:18: Like a good friend once told me. Colombiana Novia. Now ya have a future wife, lover, & a kid all rolled into one. Better get with the program. And watch ya ass. And your pocket book. But then again it's only their business. People can say what they want. For whatever reasons they have. But in the end. It is up to the 2 people to make it work. Like selling cars. No 2 deals are ever the same. But people always have too put in their 2 cents. Is'nt it so that the Gringo way, in the old days was to find a woman. Get married. Buy a house. Little picket fence. Live happily ever after. What a bunch of bullshit that was. I can't count on one hand the people I went to school with that are still married. Maybe one. So you go from there. Remember. No 2 relationships are the same. Like another old saying. Shit Happens!! Sometimes lots of it. Trick is to come out of it all smelling like a Rose!

He is busy with that until one day WHAM! He understands the motivation of his other part and that was to take him to the cleaners. Poor guy...............................

La_Huella says on Nov 6, 2009, 08:03: In my case I'm stuck for the most part with university aged chicas... the 30 crowd here looks real good to me, but I find most of them way too closed-minded for my libertine ways. Plus most of them are taken anyways. I could probably be the mozo but I really don't care for that. But believe me if a 25 or 30 or 40 year old is available and appears in my path I am THERE. Mostly I meet girls aged 18-23 though.

CharlieTheOwl says on Nov 10, 2009, 07:24: Also, masturbation is underrated. Sometimes you are better off wacking off to porno than be in a bad relationship. Look what happened to David Carridine. He was 72 years old and they found him dead while practicing self bondage. He hung himself in a hotel closet while masturbating. They said the rope was also tied around his penis. Maybe he knew something we did'nt know.

CharlieTheOwl says on Nov 10, 2009, 07:50: True..to understand women you have to go back to prehistoric times. Women have vaginal secretions every day and are ready for sex much more than other mammals. Vaginal secretions were a survival mechanism for them during those times. They traded sex for food and shelter with many different men. During the rough times they had to be more active. They hunted and ran a lot. Thats when their periods would stop. Even these days a woman can run a certain amount of miles and their periods will stop. They can also use sex as a way to get what they need. Of course there are women that are self sufficient. They are the most difficult to figure out. I don't even think they they know whats going on.

CharlieTheOwl says on Nov 10, 2009, 08:11: Yes, the hunter gatherer era was much more simple. Scientists can't figure out why humans went the agriculture route. Hunter gatherer only took a few hours a day the most. Agriculture took 12-16 hours a day. It is a mystery.
