Meet up, dating, make friends, fall in love

in Boca Chica, Santo Domingo

Not only sea, beach and sun:  in Dominican Republic  you can enjoy  a lively nightlife too. At sunset,  the main strip in Boca Chica, “Duarte” street  is  closed to the traffic and assumes a different  atmosphere. Bar , cafeterias, pub, colmados, and any kind of shop are perfect meeting points to get new friends; if you speak a basic Spanish,  a question, a joke, a conversation will take you to  drink something together.

All the beautiful girls that during the afternoon were wandering around the little bars and restaurants on the beach, where palms, blue sea and white sand make it so easy to meet people while having a fresh cerveza Presidente, flood at night into the promenade of the Avenida Duarte, the main street in Boca Chica.

Here, from 7 p. m. the passage get close to traffic, while restaurants and bars take all the place with  colorful tables and chairs right on the street, like in a town festival, always animated in every season. Tourists, residents and regular customers gather together to admire the various and multicolored  beauties passing by, from the velvet dark Haitian to the amber-like Creole, but also lighter and white beauties, sitting at the tables on the way, often with breathtaking cleavages, lingering around.

Once the right guy gets eyed up, better if just arrived, without a tan, with a “pollito blanco” face,  - white chicken as they say – it is funny to see how two or three of them contend with each other for the tourist. Falling in love can be a powerful antidepressive. It make blood and adrenalne flow, it makes you feel alive, even within some lies, maybe even more then.

Pay attention though: their style is different from the one we are accustomed to see on the sidewalks of other countries, because here they try to get a boyfriend to make sure they will get board, lodging, money and presents all along the stay of the chosen tourist, and, why not, maybe a little monthly check after he leaves. While in Thailand girls are expert masseuses, sophisticated performers and they finally offers sex too, in the Dominican Republic they are warmer and they prefer selling the illusion of love, with mawkishness and sweet words, whispered love songs, exploding in jealousy, sensual dances, not only sex for one night. Nonetheless many of them end up by really falling in love with the right stranger,at least when they begin.

It is then that they hit: they do not sell a service, they sell an emotion. Something that stays inside and that can make you fly even if you are in your seventies. All of a sudden older retirees loosing their mind and their wallets for a black beauty, but also ladies over their forties walking in ecstasy, hand by hand with amber and chocolate colored athletic young men. The idea is to make the tourist leave with many good souvenirs and with the wish to come back, keeping something inside to warm up the long and cold winters of Europe and north America. Falling in love can be a powerful antidepressive. It make blood and adrenalne flow, it makes you feel alive, even within some lies, maybe even more then.

Upon departures at the airport there is always somebody crying, somebody twishing never to have to go away. There are many who believe that in Boca Chica this industry of love flourishes because of poverty and  need, that al of this is a mockery resting on money, that the tourists don't have time enough to understand. It is also like this, but it is not only like this. And this because dominican boys and girls are handsome,!  educated, ready to smile, happy even when something goes wrong and so clean that they could make many Europeans envious.

Santo Domingo by night

Santo Domingo night life

In the capital, at late afternoon, along the Conde, the promenade, there are plenty of them; it will be enough to invite them for a drink in one of their favourite bars...they know how to chose. Or taking them to some movie theater, they go crazy for this. In Santo Domingo there are several multiplex, with the latest releases from the U.S., subtitled in Spanish.

Finally: you can find a beautiful and good girl everywhere if you speak Spanish and if your vacation lasts longer (at least 3 weeks) and you decide to rent a residence where she could come to cook and where she can find a swimming pool, a garden and a satellite TV, for the soap operas. And lots of music. A rented motorbike, even a small one, could be handy.

But for short vacations the “pro” are the most likely to win. If you do not have much time, it is enough to walk down the Duarte and to pick one. Every day there are many different choices here.

More and more are the men that date girls online, before coming here, in Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/, and the Dominican version of Badoo, http://badoo.com/dating/dominican/, that has increasing success for the high quality of the dates provided.

Once en Santo Domingo, it is better to buy a  prepaid Dominican cell phone to make local contacts.

Dominican girls love to make telephone calls and send text. Once their credit is over they will seek help with texts likethis: “estoy sin balance, favor enviarme una recarga inmediata al codigo….para que pueda llamarte. Gracias, besos, Gisela Boxeadora”.  A nickname that you will not forget.
