Hi, there. Do you guys date Ecuadorians? Any tips or suggestions? Any fun stories to tell? I'm visiting soon on a mission to explore Ecuador as my semi retirement destination. So, naturally, I'm quite curious about your dating experience there. ...

I'm curious about how the spanish ap worked for you. I'd like to work on my pronunciation but there aren't any courses near me that I want to sign up for. I'd prefer something I could work on at home. Read More

Hi Garick, I've dated some here but there are so many men who want to go out with me just because I'm american that I am very wary now of all ecuadorian men. Most people here think all american people are rich. If they marry an american they will ... Read More
