Ladies you think you know, but you have no idea. 12. Introduces you as his friend: You have been dating for a while and you don't really know where things are going or even where they are for that matter. It's been a couple of months and you have been faithful, not sure if he has of course, and it's getting kind of awkward when you meet his friends, family, or co-workers. You have always introduced him by his first name but he always introduces you as his “friend.” Everyone thinks you are together because he is the only guy you are hooking up with, calling all the time, etc. And I understand saying “Hey, this is the girl I am dating,______,” might sound a little bit weird, but it sure as hell sounds better than “This is my friend,_________,” if you are clearly more than just friends. 11. Doesn't show affection in public places: He will be all over you inside your house or behind closed doors, but the minute you step into the club, mall, or restaurant, it stops. He doesn't mind going to these places but when you arrive all the affection stops. And maybe you kinda try to do the little hand grabber and at that exact moment, a quick change of pace or hand movement on his part happens: putting the hand at an unreachable distance. In Panama it is very common to hold a girls hand when crossing the street, or leading her out of a crowd, or putting your hand on her back when opening a door for her and guiding her inside, so when they aren't doing these little signs of affection, it makes you wonder. 10. When he is doing something and you ask what, he never elaborates: Girl: “What are you doing tonight” Guy: “Going to dinner with Jose” Girl: “Where?” Guy: “Somewhere” Girl: “Umm ok, is it too much to ask where?” Guy: “Don't worry about it, I'm going to dinner with Jose.” Girl: “Sweet.” Why can't you tell me where you are going to dinner? Oh that's right, because you are probably cheating on me and going to see that girl, my bad. 9. People who have lived in the country for a while say he seems sketchy: People have a pretty good idea of their own kind. It is much easier to sense things and judge people who were born into a similar lifestyle as you versus judging someone from a completely foreign culture. If people are telling you this guy seems sketchy, believe them. 8. He has a lot of pictures of girls on his computers, but they are all “just friends”: People love to take pictures here! At least someone in the group that you go out with has a digital camera with them. And all the girls dress sexually here like I have explained in previous articles. But when there are a lot of individual pictures of girls and their boobs are everywhere, become suspicious. Become very suspicious. 7. He gets really excited about “going out- just guys”: “I'm going out with Jose, Pablo, and Mateo. We are going to have a great time.” Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. You can only hope for the best when a group of guys go out and at least one of them is taken. It's just bad news bears. 6. He flirts with other girls in front of you: Ok, he can say they are just friends, or that she was all over him, but it takes two to tango. If he respected you enough he wouldn't LET other girls flirt with him. He can tell them he has a girlfriend or is dating someone, he is just choosing not to. Flirting is flirting. The problem when your significant other flirts with the opposite sex in front of you is that it makes you look stupid. Because other people are noticing them do this and now you are the butt of the joke. 5. He very sincerely says, “No mami, I'm not like that. I would never do that”: My ex-boyfriend was Mexican. Every time he threw 'mami' into a sentence he knew he was in trouble and was trying to squeal out of it. Every guy says they wouldn't do that. It is only the ones that admit that a lot of guys do that and they will try to prove to you that they don't, and those are the ones that might not cheat. Did you catchy any of that? Basically, no guarantees. 4.You get a text message that doesn't make sense and there is a weird explanation behind it: Ya, try and talk yourself out of this one buddy. 3.You find pictures of him on the Internet at bars/clubs posing with other girls: I have noticed that people here do care about what they look like more than what I am used to. Men and women both love to have people take pictures of them. There are a bunch of different websites dedicated to photographers going out to popular clubs/bars at night and snapping photographs of pretty faces, as well as individual clubs/bars hire photographers. When there are regularly pictures of him posing individually with other girls, different girls on different nights, what the hell? 2. His friends are cool but sketchy: You are product of your environment. Who can honestly say they are “really different” from their friends. You hang out with these people because you have things in common not because they are different from you. Of course everyone is unique and we all have friends who are our friends, but we are not exactly sure why. But, for the most part, we do things that our friends do. And if you see your guy's friends are with a different flavor of the week, might want to re-examine what your guy is doing when you are not around. 1. The stories just don't add up: Plain and simple. 2+2=4, not 5. |
