Dating a 'Traditional' Peruvian Woman... Is This Normal Culturally or Should I Be Cautious?
I'm in the US... I met a girl from Peru who's in her early 20s. I am in my late 20's. We texted back and forth on a dating app for a couple of days before setting up a date. For our first date, I picked her up, took her to lunch, and afterward asked how much time she had left that day. She said, “I have all day for you.” So I took her to a friend's party, and we ended up having a great time together. I bought her flowers, and she gave me a couple of kisses on the cheek. When I dropped her off, she told me she wanted to see me again. A couple of days later, I took her out for a nice, romantic dinner and brought her a rose. She cuddled up next to me in the booth and gave me another kiss on the cheek. Here's where I'm conflicted. I was previously married to a Colombian woman. This girl from Peru has told me she's very traditional and prefers to date one man at a time. She's expressed a high level of interest in me, but she's also made it clear that she's not looking to rush into marriage and wants to take her time building a solid and legit connection. Honestly, I've started realizing that my ex-wife and this girl have very different approaches to relationships. This Peruvian girl seems incredibly sweet, affectionate, traditional, and genuinely interested in building something meaningful. That said, I'm trying to keep my eyes open. The intensity of her affection and interest early on initially made me wonder whether I was experiencing love-bombing. I brought this up with my therapist, who suggested that some of what I'm seeing could be influenced by cultural differences. One thing that stands out is that we've only kissed on the cheek, not on the lips. I asked her about it, and she explained that she wants to build a strong emotional connection with a man before “giving herself to him.” I can respect that, and I actually appreciate her being upfront about her values. She has also told me that she's very intense when it comes to love and romance. I'm interested in hearing from people with actual experience dating Peruvian women or navigating similar cultural differences. I want to approach this with an open mind without ignoring potential red flags.
