It may not be the easiest thing to manage finacially but if you can I think it really helps to take a women you're seriously interested in (assuming you've gotton to know her a little bit and there's real chemistry) off to one of the Colombian resort destinations like San Andres, Providencia, Capurgana or Santa Marta to name a few, for a week. These get-a-ways aren't expensive in Colombia and it's sooooo much easier than a fiance visa or whatever. I did this with several serious prospects (the last one my wife) and found out in couple of days I wasn't ompatable with the first ones. This after various visits to Cali and lots of dinners, trips to the zoo, trips to Chipichapi/Unicentro, night clubs and all the other routine stuff one does with women in Cali. So if you can swing it do it. Besides Cali gets boring after a few trips. I took two to El Valle/Bahia Solano on the pacific coast but thats no longer an option due to problems with "public order". The cheapest of the ones I mentioned are San Andres and Santa Marta. Even cheaper you can go up to the Termales De Santa Rosa (several lodges with spectacular hot springs) outside Manizales for a few days. Just five hours by bus from Cali on a very safe route. So my point is that three days together in an isolated resort location will tell you more about your compatability then ten weeklong visits to Cali. Oh by the way...I'd like to see how many fourty year olds you're dating after your first week in Cali...
