Ha.

Been there before.  Its great isn't it?  Even with the somewhat perverse undertones.  I was with one european girl who positivley made me feel like a rockstar 24 hrs/day.  It was a bit insane at times, but, in comparison, the insanity was far prefereable to the dullness of several other less intense relationships.

Enjoy it.

Ciao

It does matter.  Actually, I look at it this way, if the woman, you're with, does not do special things for you, or does not give you the attention you need, then she's not into you.  It's as simple as that: do on to others as they would do on to you.  When this happens to me, I always ask myself, "would I treat HER like that?"  If I answer "no" then that's a Red Flag.

Yes, so far she hasn't done for me what I'd do for her.  She says she's
certain I'm the one for her but..  

-when I am sick she doesn't think about coming to my hotel to see if I
need anything or to take care of me.  I would do that for her if she was
in a hotel someplace.

- I'm always giving her gifts.  she has never given me anything, not even
something without any monetary value.  Well, I shouldn't say anything
since she did give me a stuffed animal for Christmas.. but I mean other
than a special holiday like Christmas, she hasn't given me anything.  I
don't know if this is too much to ask.  Even a personal card or something
would be nice.

- For valentine's day I sent her roses.  She sent me an internet card for
valentine's day and it was addressed not just to me but also to several of
her friends.

I know when many of you hear this you'll think she doesn't care about
me, but then she was very sad for many days when I told her before that
I had some doubts about our relationship and she told me she has no
doubts.

Okay, I'll try to answer the following questions from the "ASK Men"
article and see if it looks like if she is really into me.  I need all the  help.  
I don't want to hurt her but my friends have doubts about if she is the
right one for me, especially since one of my main criteria is finding
someone who makes me feel wanted and appreciated since I've always
been the one in relationships doing a lot for the other person and not
getting much in return..

She takes the initiative to stand or sit close to you.
 

She compliments you frequently.
 

She touches you.
 

Her eyes sparkle when she looks at you.
 

She is curious to know everything about you.
 

She endeavors to discover what's important to you and what makes you
tick, so she asks you a lot of questions about yourself, but not in an
obnoxious, prying or pushy kind of way. (Of course you give her the
absolute minimum amount of info possible.)
 

She gives you small gifts.
 

She calls you and asks you out.
   

She makes a big deal about your birthday.
   

She cooks your favorite meal at least once a month.
   

She builds up your ego.
   

She's supportive.
She's consistently loving and affectionate.
     

When you're sick, she is your dedicated nurse.
   

She often turns into a playful little girl when she's around you.
   

She respects your opinion.
She asks you for advice.
   

She's consistent and dependable.
 She keeps her word.  
She's never late.
She's fiercely loyal.  
   

etc. etc.

It didn't enter my answers.. guess I can't use brackets!!??


She takes the initiative to stand or sit close to you.
  --Maybe so sometimes.  She does hold my hand.

She compliments you frequently.
  --Hardly ever.

She touches you.
  --She holds my hand or sometimes kiss me on the cheek or on the
lips.

Her eyes sparkle when she looks at you.
  --Maybe I don't know what "sparkle' means, but I haven't seen it.  
She's very happy though when I give her a gift like perfume or a DVD she
likes.

She is curious to know everything about you.
  --This is one of my big gripes.  She never seems interested in me or
my life or what I'm doing or my job, etc.  She rarely asks me any
questions about my life  here in the US, or my family, etc.  She always
just asks "how are you and "what are you doing now"?

She endeavors to discover what's important to you and what makes you
tick, so she asks you a lot of questions about yourself, but not in an
obnoxious, prying or pushy kind of way. (Of course you give her the
absolute minimum amount of info possible.)
  --See above.  she never seems that interested in my life.  At least
when I date here in the US women ask me about my job, family, etc

She gives you small gifts.
  --As stated before, she has never given me or surprised me with
anything.  I often surprise her with gifts.  

She calls you and asks you out.
   --Well, when I"m in Peru we both kinda just decide what we're doing
the next day.

She makes a big deal about your birthday.
   --She did sent an email card on my birthday (1st day of Feb), but
when I saw her 2 months later in early April there was no belated gift or
anything.

She cooks your favorite meal at least once a month.
   --Has never cooked for me.  She had me over to her brother's house
once and his wife cooked for me... and her mom cooked for me once.  
She does cook but hasn't cooked for me.

She builds up your ego.
    --Actually, her sister compliments me more on my attempt at
Spanish.   She jokingly criticizes my spanish.   She doesn't say anythiing
to boost my ego.

She's supportive.
She's consistently loving and affectionate.
     --She's okay in this area, but if I don't do anything she really won't
do anything, like she will never come up behind me and put her arms
around me or anything like that.

When you're sick, she is your dedicated nurse.
   --See above posting.   Her sister thought of this but it didn't cross  
her mind.

She often turns into a playful little girl when she's around you.
    --True.  but she likes to be like a little girl with everyone (she likes
to be spoiled.

She respects your opinion.
She asks you for advice.
   --doesn't really ask me for advice on anything

She's consistent and dependable.
 She keeps her word.  
She's never late.
She's fiercely loyal.  
   --I think she is pretty good in these areas.  I trust her, and she's
dependable, keeps her word.  The only thing I didn't like is when she
used money I had given her to save for plane tickets (if she ever got her
Visa) but she used it instead for her grandmother's surgery.

etc. etc.
--I'm tired. too many to answer!!

You already know the answer to this situation. Don't make the same mistake I did and think things will ever change. One thing I have learned here from my experiences and the experiences of the other gentleman here is that when it's right, you don't have questions. My wife was exactly like this. You would be better off with the sister.

These may be major red flags or it may be that she doesn't know how to have a relationship and what you want.  

I had this discussion with my wife about four months into our relationship (and 1 1/2 months into our marriage).

I told her that lots of times she didn't really hear what I said but I was really unhappy for the following reasons.  I said if she wanted to ignore me I would assume that she didn't care what I thought.

I told her that I realized she loved her children and had been a single mother for a long time but that they would always be her children becasue they didn't have a choice.  I however, did have a choice.  

Our relationship improved instantly and has stayed at that level since.  Sometimes you just have to communicate but that will only work if you speak fluent Spanish and if the lady really loves you.

Is this your first serious relationship with a latina? Don't be misled, there is a mismatch in the depth of feelings you have for each other. When sick you have every right to expect that your woman is by your side. To send a card addressed to others in addition to you also shows that her emotions for you aren't so deep.
I can relate to Steve with the wearing of the clothes, my girl insisted that I leave her my favorite shirt and personal articles as well. While on vacation, she also insisted on cooking and has surprised with with clothing and other gifts.
To have a serious commitment the woman MUST be just as crazy for you as you are for her. If there is doubt, she isn't the one.

she sent you a generic card??? wow, thats cold. that is a big red flag, i would stop buying or sending her things and see if she changes her attitude. you will see whats important to her, your gifts and money, or you.

My girl really showers me with affection.

I get 2-3 text messages a day just with kind words etc. Surprise phone calls etc. Cute E-cards,  Yahoo messages.
She always wants to know what I am doing and where I am going. She has written me and mailed me a few things but it was way expensive for her.
When I was sick (in Peru) I was waited on hand and foot and cared for like a prince. My girl doesnt cook too much though.

In any partnership (business or personal) each person brings something different. It may not be exactly 50-50.

My girl really lets me know that she loves me and wants only me.

TE AMO PERU!!!!!!!!

....I'm a little concerned that she is not quite as interested as you are. Since learning about Peru's economy and the daily struggle that most people endure, I would not expect any material gifts from her. Even the smallest tokens might not be in her budget. My wife has told me stories of her families need to be frugal in ways that I never had thought about before.

However displays of affection/thoughtfullness don't cost anything and should be happening if you are both on the same page IMHO.

Sorry to hear that you might be having doubts. I always root for the guys who go to Peru.

Good luck
