Communicating with a Lady

 

Write or e-mail to all ladies in whom you are interested.  You may like one lady's photo over another, however, after contacting her, you may receive additional photos which are much better than the original published on our web site.  Additionally, the e-mail or letter you receive from a lady may change your interest in her.  The more e-mail's or letters you send, the greater chances for a response.  If you are very interested, write several e-mail's or letters without waiting for a response.
Advise the lady that you are a client of South Of The Border Introductions and that you are interested in communicating with her.  Indicate you were impressed with her photo and biographical information.  Enclose a quality recent photo of yourself with your e-mail or letter.
Personalize your e-mail or letter.  Tell her about yourself, including your occupation, hobbies, and interests.  You may also describe your country and the city you live in.  Use easily translated words not to overburden her with a complicated translation.  Later, as you establish communication, your e-mail's or letters can become more detailed.
It is not necessary or recommended to discuss your economic status or what material possessions you have.  Let her be interested in you as a person.
Ask her hobbies, interests, family, country, and city.  Latin women are very family oriented and by being interested in her family you will gain respect.  Discuss items from her biographical profile in which you share a common interest and request a recent photograph.
Avoid discussing the politics of your individual countries in your initial e-mail's or letters.  Focus on positive issues and interests.  Most importantly, avoid discussing previous relationships with other women.  Many Latin women are not interested in hearing about other ladies in your life.
Finally, upon receiving a response from a lady, respond immediately and often.  By contacting you, she has expressed a sincere interest.  Be both tenacious and patient.
Above all be very honest, sincere, and respectful.
Mail Service
If you choose to send anything of value (it is not recommended to send cash by mail), send it by Registered Mail from the Post Office.  The cost is approximately $8.00.  Your local Post Office can provide more detailed information on mail service to Latin American.  Additionally, Federal Express, DHL, or UPS may offer express delivery service.
Phone Service
The phone system in Latin America could use some improvement. Be patient when you call.  We have International Phone Cards with competitive rates to Colombia, South America, and many countries around the world.  Please visit our Phone Card Page... Click Here!
Air Travel
Many airlines offer service to most Central and South American countries. Check with your local travel agent.
Room/Food
A room with air conditioning ranges from $40.00 to $100.00 per night. Breakfast or lunch approximately $3.00 and dinner approximately $6.00.
Documents Needed
Generally, a passport is all that is needed.  However, contact your airline before you travel for additional information on required travel documents.  It takes several weeks to process a passport application, so make sure you apply early.  Applications may be obtained from your local Post Office.  Also, you may want to check with your local Health Department to find out what immunizations are recommended for the country you are visiting.
Visiting A Lady
Make sure you have the required travel documents including passport, airline ticket, hotel reservations, etc. Credit cards are widely accepted in Central and South America and, in some cases, are preferred.  We also recommend obtaining a copy of the book Lonely Planet - Travel Survival Kit for the country you are visiting.  You may obtain this book at your local bookstore and should prove to be a valuable source of information.  You may also want to obtain the Berlitz Spanish Phrase Book and Dictionary or even an electronic translator.
Bringing A Lady To Your Country
The lady will have to apply for a visa before she can visit or you can apply for a fiancee visa.  The three types of visas available are tourist, fiancee, and spousal.  Some of the ladies already have tourist visas.  Fiancee visas (depending on your country) require you to marry a lady within a certain period of time after arrival in your country or she must return to her country.  You can also marry a lady in her country or yours and she can apply for a spousal visa.   It is suggested that you contact your country's Department of Immigration for information.
