That is why when dating a Latina from Colombia, you should be mindful of a few dating taboos that you should avoid doing or saying at all costs. You might want to take a pen and paper for this because this is one of the most solid tips when you’re dating a Latina that could save your relationship from taking a sudden nosedive:
- Be consistent and don’t slack off.
This is the problem with a lot of men. They are only invested in the relationship during the early stages. In the first few months, they seem like the sweetest, most thoughtful and romantic guy in the world, but as the relationship goes further along, the sweet, thoughtful and romantic gestures seem to fade by the day until it becomes an annoyance to them.
Consistency plays a vital role in the survival of any kind of relationship. So make sure that the effort, time and attention you invested in her during the early stages of your relationship will endure rather than waver.
- Don’t give her any reason to be jealous.
Latin women, in general, are very passionate about the things and people they love. That’s why when something compromises that, they can become highly reactive. So try not to give her any reason to question your loyalty and faithfulness and if ever she gets jealous due to inevitable misunderstandings, just do your best to make her understand.
- Don’t boast about wealth.
While financial security is an essential facet of any relationship, boasting about it and waving your wealth around like a banner is just flat-out off-putting. Colombian women will not stand for that level of boisterousness. Confidence is one thing, arrogance is another.
- Don’t forcefully impose your values on her.
Given your cultural differences, misunderstandings and arguments are inevitably bound to arise. While overcoming this issue can be a major challenge for most couples, it doesn’t really have to be a relationship-ending problem.
But where most men go wrong in addressing this issue is when they start imposing their culture and value system on their partners. This approach will only do more harm than good. Rather than having one party conform to the other, it’s best to just simply compromise. Allow each other to practice your respective cultures and values without abridging that of the other. If you do this consistently enough, your differences will start to grow on you and you’ll soon realize that you’re not so different after all.
- Don’t disregard the value of family ties.
The people of Colombia are generally very close to their families. Hence Colombian women will always put their family first over anything. If you are to date a Colombian woman, it is important that you respect how much she values family time. She’ll understand if you are not that close with your family, but you should respect her for her closeness to hers.
