6 Things I've learned while trying to date in Medellin

1. You can't hold hands. Supposedly, only people who are dating hold hands, so don't try to grab your dates hand on the first date. What you have to do is put your hand in your pocket, and they will hook your arm. Holding hands is a way of letting people know that you are dating, and something you shouldn't do on a first date. I grabbed this girl's hand on the first date...well, she felt pretty uncomfortable. So don't do it.

2. You'll meet the entire family in the first week. This is a little odd for me since in the United States, you don't meet the family until things are starting to get serious. This girl I went out with a couple of time had me talking to her grandmother on the phone by the second date. So, don't be spooked about meeting the family, it is pretty common here.

3. If you say you are going to call, you should call. Although Colombians are generally unpunctual for meetings and things like that, girls here expect you to follow through on the things you say (not really that different from girls in the US). So if you say you are going to call, you should probably call.

4. Don't say anything about the beautiful girl next to you. Medellin is a statistical anomaly (that is what my brother-in-law said after coming here this December). That means that you will find beautiful women everywhere - on the bus, on the metro, at El Exito, at a hot dog stand, on the street - everywhere! So, chances are that when you go out on a date with someone, you will see other beautiful women. Don't say anything about it or look too intently, as your date will pick up on it.

5. Be frugal. This means don't drop huge amounts of cash on a date. Most of the girls I've met here don't feel comfortable dropping a month's salary on a dinner date - to them, it seems somewhat stupid and ostentatious. So don't do it. Go out for something casual and nice (and cheap). It is strange, but women here are not particularly impressed by someone spending lots of cash. The women that are impressed - well, those are not the girls I like to date anyway. So maybe this advice might not be worth anything to you...

6. Learn to dance. Dancing is an important medium of communication in Medellin. Little kids know how to dance way better than I do. But, if you go out with a girl, chances are she will want to dance with you. So learn to dance. Dancing is a huge deal in this society - like a its own language. I can't dance that well, but I have learned. Plus, it is better to tell a girl that you don't know how to dance that well, then to tell her that you don't want to dance. In the former situation, they will usually take it upon themselves to teach you. The important thing is this: to try. So dance....

I've been here 7 months. I've made every mistake that I've talked about...but it has been fun.

Sincerely,
Will

Wjp:
1. You can't hold hands
I am not necessarily disagreeing with you, but you are making these statements as if they are fact and apply to all Medellin women from how many dates?
#1 - this could be true, but - I know many women (no matter where they are from) that would not hold hands on their first date unless there is some strong chemistry or have been to nervous to hold hands too....it depends

Again, I am NOT disagreeing, its just that after reading this - it just read very general to me ;)...Purr

not all colombian guys fall into this catagory, telling her you REALLY like her the first time you meet her can spell desperate anywhere. Except in colombia, it's spelled papaya there.

El Polo: Although I am not there where you are I can imagine that your ceiling has dents where your eyebrows hit it after reading:

"one of my colombia friends said "tell her that you are falling in love with her" low and behold that did the trick and off to bed with me she went. "

Trust me when I say that esnach probably was doing all the right things and the girl was probably ready anyway and figured that she'll just let him wait one more day. The falling in love comment probably just pushed her over the edge and she ended up doing something she was just about to do anyway.

If it was that easy to go out, find some vieja, tell her you are falling in love and wham, she's giving up the kitty, it would be on the front page of this site and none of us would have any time to post because we'd be, well you know....

If you want to get laid right off the bat go to Blue or another brichera joint and start buying drinks, flash your passport and dance like you have a 2X4 shoved up your ass. Works 100% of the time and is much more convincing than professing your undying love in the first 2 hour date and is easier to execute. Watch out for splinters.

Bzzzz. wrong. Sorry. I don't agree with this generalized comment.
The dance can go both ways in the US.
I don't chase. If you ever expected that from me, jaja. You would be outta luck. I would not be calling you unless I needed to clarify something and if you intentionally wait to call, sorry I'd pick that game up fast and be somewhere else.

There is a difference between aggrressive and assertive too.

When dating, I stuck to Tucker Max rules of dating. Ever heard of him?

Don`t spend more than $40 on the fisrt date
Don`t buy her food in the first date, only alcohol. Say you "already ate"

Of course all that changed when I got married.

No sorry if you got that impression from me. What I said I would say to anyone that asks how to get what they want.
Look at it this way - would you go to a job interview and tell them you are a lawyer when you are not? Dont you think they would figure it out? Do you think the job will last? jaja

Telling someone you love them (when not true), getting them drunk to play is a trick.
Not giving someone a poem because you are worried about scaring them, is not being yourself too. If they run....it is for the best. Because if you hold that stuff in and restrain too much, it must come out in the end. This is what I find ends relationships, that's all.
Trying to play games..for good or bad. It's misreprsentation and both men & women do it and wonder why the relationship did not work or why the other person got hurt

Very soon he walks out of the bar with the two of the most beautiful women you ever saw. "Well," Said the Barman, "I don't know how he does it, but he does the same thing every night.

That's not you Ray, you liar. That guy in the foto is a middle aged gringo here looking for dating advice. You'd have thought he would have gotten the dating thing handled in his 20s. No wonder he can't get laid in his own country and blames the women. Tell him to come to Colombia where the desperate woman won't understand him - his chances (without Ray's 50) are much better.

That 50 spot does come in HANDY!
