she has a regular job. Guys, if I didn't know the game I would be head over heels for this one. If you ever had to have a puta novia, she would be the one. If there ever was a girl that was too classy for the DR, she is it. She's too good for this place, she's elegant, sophisticated, etc. And it's her first day. I can see why some guys fall for it. Here's the scenario:

Tuesday morning at 11:00 at the DR. I am walking around doing my usual "JAP laps" around the DR when I see this striking beauty sitting in the back area where all the tables are. She is drinking bottled water and her face is of natural Tica beauty, named Marcela. She smiles at me and asks if I was in Escazu the other day. Wow, I was, and I ask her where she saw me. She say TGIF's, at this point, I suspect she is gaming me. Aha, a worthy opponent(remember guys, walk through those doors knowing it's a game, it's not a dating service and few will find real love there), I ask her if she remembered my friend(I'm bluffing, I was solo), she says yes. She is busted on 2 fronts, I wasn't at TGIF and I was solo. I sit down and continue. She says this is her first day and she hasn't been here in 8 months. I ask why is she here today and she says she needs the money. She says she works at a beauty salon full time(and no, not as a masseuse, but as a stylist), but she really needs the money today. Man, I really want to believe her. She says she would like to have a gringo "especiale." I coyly tell her I know one. I swear she has no business here. I wish I could support her, I wish I could make it so she never has to sell her body again. Will I get trapped? I know this game too well but man I can see how it can be easy. I tread with caution. I tell her she is too good for this, she is too special, she knows and saddened by her situation. We gaze into one another's eyes and feel the connection. I wish I wasn't leaving today. I tell her I have a little time b/c I leave today, she says it's her bad luck. Wow, she's reeling me in.
How much for company? "cien", I say no way, ciquenta, counters "ochenta", me "ciquenta", her ok, vamos. Great time in room, phenomenal sexo, GFE. I feel the connection.

Guys, if I met her on my first day I would have never sampled anyone else. I would have spent the whole time with her. She was amazing. Was she playing me? I hope not. She said she needed the money and would not go back. I even went back to the DR later to she if she was there, and I was actually happy she wasn't. This would be my novia if I didn't know the game. I will call her from home, and plan to see her when I return. I will not send money, flowers, perfume, etc. I will remember where I met her and tread lightly. Maybe she really is different, I will find out in a sensible manner. Guys, I would have every reason to fall head over heels for her and I would had I met her elsewhere. I know my game, I don't know hers. This is what you novios need to understand, it is all a giant game and we all have our own way of playing it. When you realize that, your big head guides you and stays screwed on straight. You won't set yourself up for the fall. You won't send money, etc. only to lament why the tica flaked out and dumped you later or why she is still working the DR when she told you otherwise. I know where you are coming from, who wouldn't want a gorgeous tica girlfriend with all the hot sex we can handle?

My conclusion,

She is not "my novia", she was a great GFE who will now fall under the category of one of "My Favoritas." When I'm in town I'll call her, have fun, go on dates, dancing, have great sex, etc. but knowing full well where it started and keeping expectations in check. And hey, if she truly is different, maybe something special comes of it. But I will let it run it's course naturally. And if not, I have a great GFE Favorita to hang with. I have a few of them in CR, and I don't even call all of them when I'm in town. Again, play your game and life down there will be so much smoother. ENJOY!

But, man, if only I met her elsewhere, if only she worked at the bank, a law office, real estate, anywhere, I'd throw caution to the wind and jump head first into it. She's that special, she's got that elegant and demure way about her, hell, maybe I'd even marry her. Wow, it's easy to get caught up in it, isn't it?


PURA VIDA!

Yes, it is easy to get caught up in it.

Enjoy yourself, proceed with caution and "keep it in its proper perspective."

CC,

Maybe this is the petite little spinner TOM from May 2006 that requested her pics be taken off the site? She is a beautiful woman. Also a Marcela and also works in/owns a beauty salon. If so, you have excellent taste.

I read how you intend to handle the situation but there are so many caution flags fluttering in the breeze in your post that it is not hard to imagine you will cross the line in the next trip or two.

Good luck

You never know.

I can think of at least 3 Ticas I met in the Del Rey (and spent quality time with) and have never seen them there since.

One was 20, about 4'10", cute as can be.
One was 21, also very cute.
One was mid 30s, had lived in Miami when married to a Cuban. She owns her own salon. This woman was GEORGIOUS and I have the flyer advertsing her shop (with her as the model) to prove it.

Everybody has a story but then everybody is different. Many would never make the choice to go to the Del Rey unless it was necessary.

You just never know.

Wake up and smell the coffee... Captian.

You got laid because you had cash and were willing to part with it. She pushed the right buttons... your buttons... just like an ATM machine and made a withdrawl. You can paint that picture many different ways, but the transaction was still a transaction... business. Your question can't be a serious one. You've been to CR how many times... 11? 12?

The DR working chica comes in all shapes, sizes, attitudes and personalities. That is the only real difference. You know the game? Don't be fooled then.

See my previous point amigo.

Happens every day. The choice is yours. We need more "if I had only listened" threads!

I would not believe a thing she says. Right off the bat, she is lying to you and playing you. Your reaction is "Wow... She is great!!! I want to take her dancing."

Someone told me that a good rule of thumb is to never session with a prostitute more than twice. Looking back on my days - I can think of only one chica, who I sessioned with more than once, turning out okay. The rest of them either pull the "Be my novio bull crap" or they just start bitching about money and become all business.

I would savor your memories of this one and walk away. Delete her phone number and put her on your spam filter. Your setting yourself up for a fall. You are already caught up in her.

Hey Captain. I hate to break it to you but if this is the Marcela I think it is then I've blasted her in the face like a Jackson Pollock on multiple occasions for a lot less than a cien.
