Hello from Bogota #3
It's a little after 1:00 in the afternoon in Bogota, the strrets are packed and I had sat in an outdoor cafe this morning watching the women go by, quite enjoyable!
I got a note sent to the agency from M, thanking me for the little wooden box I had given her and letting me know that she had enjoyed meeting me, but didn't think there was any potential in the relationship. I hadn't even called her again, so I would call it a pre-emptive "dump." I'm glad to know my little antannae were working correctly. I didn't think there was a future, it was too much of a stretch with her having 2 kids and not particularly interested in the US. So its on to the next one, a dinner with a 40 year old fashion designer tonight.
Yesterday in Bogota, I met a Frenchman, a fellow from Paris named Jean Claude, 55, 5 years older then me who had been to Cali last year for 2 weeks, he looked about 45. We talked for an hour, he's divorced twice and left a mistress in France to come to Colombia for a couple of weeks. As he told me, "she has her life, i have mine." It seems that he is a "player", not really looking for a wife. He told me that he likes women who are 25 or so, and that he didn't see a lot of agency pictures of women in their mid to late 30s. I did get the sense that this guy thought a lot differently about women then I did and for him, being with a much younger woman was a reflection of his ego.
But I decided not to got to Cali this time. I'm in Colombia for a month, have been here for 6 days, and will have a week left at the end to do something other then Bogota. I'm open to suggestions.
