This reminds me of a girl I met in Medellín. She’d shout, “Dame más, dame más!” like we were in some kind of telenovela. At first, I thought it was hot because of the energy she brought, but it quickly turned into a performance for her. It didn’t feel authentic, and I couldn’t focus on staying in the moment.
I think cultural differences sometimes play into this, too. Some phrases or expressions that might be normal in one culture can come across as strange or excessive to someone else. For her, it might’ve been normal, but for me, it was like being thrown into a soap opera I didn’t sign up for.
What I’ve learned is that some people think being loud or over-the-top is a way to show passion. It’s not always bad, but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Sometimes subtlety and natural reactions feel way more genuine and attractive.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? I’m curious if it’s just me or if this is a common thing when dating internationally.
