Author Topic: How to Break Up with Latinas?  (Read 3889 times)

When I 1st began my Quest for a Latina spouse, a close lady friend from Panama suggested that if I wasn't interested in continuing a recently begun relationship, that I simply stop calling/writing the lady. She reasoned that it would save face for the lady vs. a rejection call/letter.

I've usually followed that advice in relationships of brief duration, although at times it felt cold and cruel. On the other side, the LW have generally followed the same pattern w/me.  Rarely did a women I liked directly inform me that she wasn't interested. She simply didn't return my calls/letters.

The 2 or 3 worst among them actually lied & gave me to believe that they were still interested, but didn't have time to see me, causing me to waste some time waiting for them to free up their schedules to see me.

If the woman seemed really hooked on me, I've tried to let her down gently.

However, my strategy recently backfired with KE, a Bqlla. lady. After she stopped returning my early Emails, I dropped her down the list. But I called & met her during my 1st visit to BQ. She was charming, but overweight. I tried calling her once more before I left, but didn't reach her. I never tried emailing her again.

During my 2nd trip in Dec., I looked KE up again. She'd lost many pounds, & looked great. I was smitten. But the next date she told me she'd lost interest in me romantically because I'd dropped her w/o any communication. She felt this was rude. I apologized, but the damage was done.

At the moment, we're still communicating, & she shows flickers of renewed interest.

How do you end relationships/correspondence with LW?

Thanks for the useful feedback.

I may have confused the general issue of break-up methods with the specific case of KE.

As far as breaking up, how would you do it with someone whom you've met & gone out with once or more, but not established anything serious?

As far as KE, several good points were made. One is that she was choosy enough to dump me after I'd blown her off, & that I can't expect to start a relationship w/her now. True enough. But she's seemed interested at times, so I've given it a try. Experience has shown me that relationships often depend on timing: who likes whom when.

As far as her figure, KE is a case of a wonderful personality with (for me) borderline looks. If she stays in shape, she'll be great, but time, kids & American food take their toll on a body, especially a woman's. That's a perennial issue, and I always try to imagine how the lady will look 10 - 20 years on.

It's another needed reminder that the lady's personality & compatibility are really more important than her looks.

I don't get it.

You wanted to break up with KE, and you did.

It was painless, and easy.

Now you want to get back with her, and she's saying huh-uh...

So... What's the problem?

You want to know what the secret is in breaking up with a girl so you can change your mind later?

There isn't one.

Not that I know of.

It wouldn't have mattered if you had sent her a nice kiss off letter, or just stopped calling... she knew what was what.

And now she's not sure she wants you back.

My suggestion: Move on. Actually you already have. You just need to e honest about it, and stick with it.

IMHO

It seems to me that a relationship is something very different than correspondence.  A relatioship has obligations because it is more serious.  In these situations, a soon to be ex-novia deserves some consideration and the truth is a good place to start.  Correspondence really is a different matter, there is no real relationship other than perhaps a beginning friendship or aquaintance.   Every situation is unique but in general I think it's OK to let communication diminish in frequency as a sign that things have changed.

Regarding KE in Barranquilla, can you really blame her?   She was probably able to put two and two together and determined that her figure was more important to you than other things.  I understand where you're  coming from but I sometimes think we all focus too much on looks and not enough on whether this person is someone we are compatible with or someone whose time we enjoy.

If weight is important to you -- and I am not being righteous here, I have ot be honest, it's important to me...

What makes you think that she's going to keep her "new figure?"

If she lost the weight for good, she is a very rare person.

Ever follow Oprah's weight struggle? And this is a VERY rich woman who has the best trainers and cook that money can buy...

If she was overweight before, and it wasn't something traumatic, like she had just had a kid -- chances are REAL good that she'll be that way again.

Then what will you do?

If this bothers you... then find a svelte lady.

Or at least meet her parents. That will give you a general idea of what she'll look like in the future, unless you can afford to send her to a personal trainer everyday for the rest of her life, with no guarantee of success.
