Flirting in Ecuador

FLIRTING between men and women is not thatsimple nowadays and, well….When was it? But flirting is seemingly even more complicated today as men and womenseek easy but effective ways of meeting people. As such, approaches to flirting depend basically on two elements:“the purpose” and “the target”. These two elements always go hand in hand. Ifwe make our purpose to “hang out” with someone then if we realize they don’tfit our criteria for a relationship we can stop and let it go! And then we canbegin to look again for someone more suitable.

In this respect, Ecuadorians and foreignersare very different from one another.

Ecuadorian men and women tend to presentthemselves as Mr. Right or Miss Congeniality respectively, even when they’rejust looking to “fool around”. On the other hand, most foreigners tend to beclear about what they want. The funnything is that Ecuadorians are increasingly admitting being interested in peoplewho are clear when flirting… so then, why aren’t we clear? After all, beingclear and flirting with honesty is what really works. We have a purpose and a target, so it can’t go wrong!

“Recently, I met aguy. He is not Ecudorian, and is about my age. I really liked his way of flirting, and even when he was saying lots of nice things that I wasn’t listening to, I was surprised by how clear and honest he was from the very beginning and I was in the position to decide whether I was interested or not. His honesty made him more interesting to me; the more he said what he wanted from me, the more fascinated I was.His lips were attractive, his deep eyes seduced me and I just let myself be hypnotized by a fantasy of the senses! Yes, even now I can say it stillinterests me!”

“This week I went dancing with my friends ata new bar. As usual, a foreign guy came up to me. He was French. At the beginning I did not like him, but then, he started telling me about his life and did not seem to be interested in me. That really caught me! I thought: Ifhe is not interested in fooling around with me, why is he spending time with me? That definitely seduced me. When the night was ending, we looked like two friends, but inside, I was very interested in him, and was wondering when he would ask me something “very indecent”. Then, in a very clear and direct way, he asked me to go to his place to have fun. Of course I said yes!

“When I first came here, I did not know atall about how to chat up Ecuadorian women, I didn’t know what to say. But actually it wasn’t necessary for me to know. One night, I went to an exhibition at a museum and a girl asked me on a date!! That was really interesting because I wasn’t expecting it, coming from such traditional culture like the Ecuadorian.After our date, I said to her I wanted to see her again, and since then, we have been seeing each other quite often”.
