I've never done an 'interview', and I very much doubt I ever will. Sure I have been disappointed sometimes, but surprisingly not very often. But then, my tastes are pretty mainstream.
Don't apologise - most guys are tooI'm all for having a few drinks, maybe dancing a bit, getting to know her a little. I think I'm a good judge of people and I usually get it right. Sometimes I pick one that I don't really have chemistry with, just because she's so damn hot, and sometimes I get very pleasantly surprised. I'd say more often than not actually.
But of course, I've had my share of mediocre experiences, total waste of time and money. But I have the luxury of being here full time, so a lost night is no big deal, unlike those on a short vacation.
By now, and I do get what you are saying - you should talk about your expectations - to not do so is a mistake - regardless of how much "game" you have (ita a board joke 
)I'm just happier having a good time, acting like it's a normal night out, who cares if she doesn't want to put on a maid's outfit and pretend she walked into the wrong room.
Not what we are talking about at all - and you know it - or should, especially as a full time resident - you should negociate the fee AFTER, and what you expect - like an uncovered BJ, whatever - it does not have to be exotic - to do so will eliminate some - certainly not all - of the "Good in the bar and bad in the sack" experiencesHonestly, my worst experiences have been with women I choose when I am good and drunk, and I foolishly settle for an average looking one (6 dressed up as a nine), and I figure well, she's really keen and she knows I live here so she'll put in some effort, but noooooooo.
Why would you assume your geography would enter into it - plus when you act like a newbi, it does not matter where you live - if you want to drink, fine - just don't expect perfection when you are drunk - personally, talking with and being with someone who is drunk ranks up there as a bad experience for those of us who are not drunks - you wanna drink, drink - you wanna Phuck, Phuck - combo of the 2 gets tricky And although it's been said 1000 times before, I'll say it again, speaking Spanish is a huge benefit.
Yes - agree 100% - but having a clue is also importantAmazing girl I met recently was telling me earlier in the night an American guy was trying to talk to her, and he was offering to fly her to the states (*cough*idiot*cough) or something, but she couldn't understand most of it, so she was very happy that I came along and could talk to her in Spanish.
It's not a deal breaker of course, and a lot of ticas speak great English, but every once in a while you probably let a good one get away for lack of Spanish. I particularly like the less hardened girls, and often they are the ones with the least amount of English (not always, but generally).
When you refer to working girls as "Ticas" it bothers me - you say you live in Costa Rica - you claim to be able to speak Spanish - then you must know "tica" simply means Costa Rican female - and frankly, given the 2 facts you include in your post, you should know better. And no, while some Costa Ricans speak great English, I think its safe to say not that many working girls do - I do assume that is the thrust of your comments - about working girls you are wrongly referring to as "ticas"
I am sure you are a nice guy - and you did not write your post as a strident "this is how you have to do things" I think you shared experiences, that frankly struck me as the post of someone doing some basic things wrong and who could - with a little work - improve his experiences
