Patience. Our best piece of advice is to be

patient. You will have all the time you need to

find your perfect mate. Meet as many women as

possible. Take your time to correspond with many

members. This gives you more and more

opportunities to meet many people. This can be a

great opportunity, so be patient, read carefully,

and search thoughtfully. And most importantly,

you will make lots of friends and enjoy the

process! If you don't get a prompt response to

your e-mail, there may be a good reason: Remember

that most Latin people don't have their own

computers and must go to an Internet cafe. Most

go once or twice a week. They may be out of town.

Their ISP server may be down this is not

infrequent in Latin countries. They are snowed

under with paperwork from her job. Wait awhile.

Then write her again and mention that you are

really interested in her. What do you have to

lose?

Trust your Intuition. It is often kinder simply

not to respond to someone you immediately know

isn't your type than to cultivate an online

relationship out of politeness. If your online

correspondent doesn't answer questions directly

or omits essential information, trust your better

instincts and find someone you can trust. If you

suspect someone is lying to you, you are probably

right. Don't waste your time trying to elicit the

truth. Accept that they are being dishonest. Drop

the correspondence with them and move on.

Relationships are built on honesty, respect and

acceptance.

Meeting in person. When you make the decision

that it is time to meet in person, it's important

to learn about the culture, language, and customs.

This will make you feel more comfortable in her

country. Remember, even though the first

impression is important, sometimes it doesn't go

as well as you had planned because you were too

nervous. Don't give up. Try to relax and be

yourself; your real personality will show.

Remember that you made the decision to travel

hundreds or thousands of miles to meet this

special someone. You did it because you were

attracted and felt that you were compatible with

each other. You need time to adjust to the new

situation. Trust yourself and be patient. We've

seen it work out well many times.
