Yep, except you don't know what you are doing, where you are... Ver post completo.
Men To Avoid #11: El Gringo
Codename: El Gringo (man that's a hard code to crack) Oh. No. You. Didn't... Yeah I did, although it's pretty damned obvious. Let's face it, dating your fellow gringo is not the smartest move... Why?

Blonde Music Tip: Fonseca (Juan Fernando Fonseca) Oh you are so predictable... Why? Because I have a date with Fonseca this evening? You know, it's not strictly a date, so much as...

Blonde Food Tip #4: Ajiaco
Blonde Food Tip: Ajiaco Are you seriously bringing potato soup to the table? Are you seriously downgrading Santa Fe ajiaco into a mere potato soup?

Blonde Spanglish #2: Gentleman
Blonde Spanglish: Gentleman I've heard this story... Who hasn't?

Bizarre Dating Ritual #10: No Notice
Bizarre Dating Ritual: No Notice Hmmm, I suspect I'm not a fan of this... Me neither!

And scruffy? And available?... Ver post completo.
