colombian women and relatioships

maybe Im wrong but my girlfriend still is very active in the "amigos" page even that we met in the same page,and now we have a relatioship, do colombian women think it is ok to talk to other guys, because we are no married and Im here in the U.S.A ?
help, or maybe I'm reacting to the culture? I hope she is not shopping arround.

Still in amigos? Hi,
It is pretty hard to guess why she hasn't quit amigos, but if she is there only to meet friends. Then that would be a reason. But if what she was looking for, was you...then she should be off. Why did she write in her profile?
Anyways, I think she should be out. It is not very nice to see your boyfriend's or girlfriend's photo on the internet to meet people...especially from the opposite gender.
Did you ever ask her why she's still there? I think you should...and then you stop guessing...
I'm colombian and I think it is not right.
Good luck!

Have you asked her about this. My wife and I met on amigos.com and after we became involved, we both removed our profiles fairly quickly.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

Good question I met a girl on another site and I turned off my profile right away. But she didn't. I told her I had, and left it up to her to do the same or not. She didn't. And still hasn't. But I don't really care. I have since put my picture back up, but changed my profile to read that I just want to make friends. I guess that if she meets someone better, well good for her and that's that. I don't get the feeling from her that she was just shopping when she met me. I feel like there's some genuin interest. I don't see how keeping her picture up there changes much. If she takes it down, she could just as easily shop somewhere else if she wanted. So why don't you just stay quiet and see what happens. It's going to happen anyway. I hope this helps....Good luck.

Risk For Who ??? The greatest risk in life is sometimes receiving what you want so much. She obviously is not shutting down her life because of some foreign man met throught the internet nor should she until there is a real lasting relationship. The streets of Colombia are paved with unforfilled promises and bad deeds of foreign men to Colombian woman.

More than likely she is playing the odds game. Odds that the foreign man does not come to Colombia, odds that the foreign man loses interest in me, odds that the foreign man finds another woman and odds that nothing happens from this relationship.

For every good story the streets are paved with 100 (maybe that's overkill) or more bad stories and broken hearts. If you are secure in yourself and trusting in others (your "girl" friend) it should not bother you about the amigos.com exposure. If you do not trust her or are insecure yourself the relationship will not exist or succeed. Much of my younger life was spent as an insecure, controlling, possessive personality which separated me from many early relationships but as I got older, less controlling, more trusting and less possessive my relationships lasted longer. It's the "bird in the cage" theory.

Don't worry because if you marry this woman and live together there will be plently of insecure, controlling and possessive that springs from both of you (in the relationship) as Colombian woman have a personality that will keep you awake and fully occupied. You will never be bored again because when that Colombian woman masters english she will tell you everything that's on her mind since the relationship with you first started (good, bad and ugly). She will remember everything that you have long sense forgot or wnated to forget. Enjoy your peace while you have it as there will be bigger problems to solve down the road.

In the end you will be glad when she talks to another man and not just you.

In regards to your concern about other men talking to your girlfriend what's wrong with that. Just because she is talking to men doesn't mean that she is sleeping with them. Are you not talking to women in the USA (must be boring). Run a search on Amigos.com looking for "women looking for women" in Colombia. Maybe I would prefer my girlfriend only talks to men. jajaja

lay the law down to her.... I let my girl use Amigos.com for about 1 and 1/2 months before I laid the law down to her... I gave her a choice and if she wanted to stay on Amigos.com then find a new boyfriend.... as you can tell she choosed me.... I just married her last month..

flirting i have to tell you if this is the first time you have dated a latina you probably should know, flirting it's part of it, but we are completely faithful, so you shouldn't worry about it, let her be in amigos and have friends and fun, she will always go back to you and nobody else

colombian women and relatioships - relpy Have you asked your girlfriend why she is still active in the "amigos" page? I personally have found A LOT of little differences between Colombian and United States born American relationships. There are things I could assume from my former USA boyfriend that are not the same as with my Colombian boyfriend. These things aren't bad, just different because the culture is a little different. But, then, there are also a lot of differences between men and women of any culture. You just need to tell her this bothers you, if it does, and go from there.
