she ran in horror!

greetings from BAQ. well, this was one of my more strangest experiences of my Latin adventures. my new friend Jamie who has been working hard to hook up the Papi made plans to meet him and his dance partner along with a very attractive woman from his agency last night. Well, the lesson here is dont fall in love with a photo because the girl in question showed up with her friend and spent, i kid you not, maybe 5 seconds with the Papi and fled in terror. i have heard of speed dating but those at least last 3 minutes. Anyway, maybe Jamie can lend some more details but my guess is that we wont be seeing her pretty face in his website much longer. i will trip report when i return to Miami. other than this comedy, it has been going well so far

Can you blame HER ..If I saw Papi coming at me I would have walked on water all the way to Miami ... maybe a different direction ...

This was not a business introduction. I asked a very attractive new member if she would join me and a friend for some drinking and dancing. I only mentioned Papi’s age and that he was very interested in her. The girl showed up to the office on time with an unannounced but good looking friend. An unexpected guess was not a good sign. But since my friend was 30 minutes late I had a chance to talk to the girls and everything seemed normal. Since we had time I showed an intro letter from Papi and an older picture. Papi had given me a recent photo but as he mentioned he has put on weight and it was my decision not to show that photo, since this was just a friendly night out and I kept things informal. I did however tell the girl if she was not interested in my friend tell me that it would not be a problem.
As I greeted Papi at the club the girls were two meter behind me and you could instantly tell she was not interested. I had to drag a hello out of her. As I was telling Papi this does not look good, by the time I could turn around they had disappeared. One of my office girls that had set this up by phone did advice me she thought the girl was dense. She lives in a good neighborhood but I’ve never noticed a family’s economics as an indicator of a proper upbringing in Colombia. As I told Papi too many of these girls think they only need to look prissy and pretty in tight clothes and while enticing, in short order you can see they have no intellect or class. She was promptly removed. Thanks for screening her out for me

to all below, i did not even get a good enough look at her in the bar to tell you anything. she split that fast. i can laugh at it but Jamie was not too happy about it. i think she is most likely history at ii

The real question is, did she see your picture before you met her?  

I know ordinarily before Jamie introduces you to someone, they have seen your picture, read your profile, and agreed to meet you.  That typically avoids the whole "running in horror thing".

I know you said you were trying to lose weight... maybe she wanted a fatter guy :-)

Better luck with the next chica...

Speaking of which, how long will you be down there?  I will be there Friday night, 7/22 until Tuesday 8/2.  Maybe we can meet each other...

The very attractive ones can be a pain that way. Or perhaps she just had a bad case of diarrhea?

"Or perhaps she just had a bad case of diarrhea?"

That excuse would work best for gringos were we inclined to flee a fugly chica.  I think many of them know that we are inclined to getting dysentery after too much unprepared/overly-spiced-up food.

Great subject, though.  What is the most convincing excuse a chica could use to make YOU flee:

"Jorge just called and says the children need baby formula."

"How do you Americans treat gonorrhea?"

"My furlough ends soon.  But, you can still reach me later at the detention center's email server."

"My prosthetician just texted me and says the new part is in."

She could say,"Oh I just remembered I have to attend my mothers funeral.She died again."
"Whats the matter your mother die again?" is what Jim C tells his constructions workers when they didn't show up for work.Its kind of a joke with them now.
NOW,obviously something was not right for this chica.But even if she split in a record pace you are way better off than one that will play along with you even if they are not interested.The question why would they do that comes up alot.My thought is they don't have any other options so they are keeping you for one even if they are not really interested.Some more clever and less honest ones will play up to you to get you to buy goodies.I had one girl that wasn't really interested in me starting to tell me stories about how bad it was her kids didn't get anything for Christmas.It was like December one.She needed to put a little more chemestry in it if she wanted that one to work.The last time I saw her we went to Dinner,then to my place.She immediately wanted a taxi to leave,then asked when we could see each other again.I said why?She didn't get it,kept asking when.I said we aren't.Finally In raised my voice,said no,we ARE NOT seeing each other again.She got it and ran out to wait for the taxi out front.

"She could say,'Oh I just remembered I have to attend my mothers funeral. She died again.'"

That's the first one that came to mind as I was thinking of lame excuses.  

But, I figured, deaths-in-the-family must be overplayed.

These girls need to realize that many gringos have closer attachments to their pets.  So, rather than saying, "My mother just died," maybe we'd be more sympathetic if instead she said, "Shakira, my cat, chewed on a power cord and is now a charcoal living room ornament.  I must return home now."

I'd be convinced.

As you can tell, I'm a member of the "Hooked on Shakira" club.

Seen her concert DVD at Tower Records.  Hesitated.  But, I'll back to snatch it up later.

There is a documentary on the DVD. Make sure you check that out. AT the very end check out the scene where she is oing her yoga on the beach & licks the egg. Worth the price of admission. I'd just like a chance to audition for her band!!! Tim Mitchell is a good musical director I think I could easily take out Adam Zimmon on guitar. I'm actually pretty damn good at that. Well good enough to make my living & travel.

Cool.

Didn't know about the documentary part.

That makes buying it even more of an urgency.

Papi,

I told you to take off your "Frankenstein" suit before you went on your trip! ha  No, seriously, that sounds like a bummer.  Hopefully, the next lady will be better for you.

Papi,

I gotta give you credit for posting even your worst experiences. That is the last story I would want to post about. Kudos to you! Better luck next time.

I still have to wonder what freaked her out. Did you have bad breath? Did she give you a chance to say anything besides hello? What did you say to her?
