I recently met what appears to be the love of my life while in Jamaica. please share your experience with dating Jamaican men as everything I am reading online has me wanting to run towards the door and I also feel that it is shaping the way I look at him. when I talk to him everything feels so genuine. its only been about 3 months and we talk everyday at least 3-4 times a day. he works at the resort I stayed at and the rest is history. he did " fall in love" pretty fast has mentioned marriage and "breeding" me. thanks in advance.

Take it very very VERY slow. He works at a resort. He meets women every single day. I have traveled to Jamaica 8 times. I sit on the beach in my lawn chair and watch the men work the foreigners. N

I can give you some insight, just keep you're eyes and ears open. Some Jamaican men move to fast but not all of them are like that. Just take your time and get to know him, his family and friends.

Stay positive don't focus on the negative ????

Now, I am not saying your beau is at all like this but please please be very careful. Do not be smitten with all their loving, sweet words and accent. VIsit him, stay with him, not always on a resort. Learn the cutlure. Learn patois/patweh. Meet his friends and family. Keep your eyes and ears open.

Did he really say "mi wan fi breed yuh"? lol :no: Slow down yardie!

You can meet men in the states who can use you as well. I would say take the same precautions you would with any relationship. Some men are looking for a step up and others want a better life and to help their family but that doesn't mean he won't genuinely care for you. Just be mindful... obviously you will have to visit him to get to know him. Is he taking you around his family and friends, can you visit/stay with him at his home or does he want to stay with you in the resort (you will have to get to know his way of life as well and not use the excuse of staying within the comforts of the resort), are you having to pay for everything and pay his way when you visit, is he asking you to send $$, clothes, or other goods, are you doing all the calling or is it reciprocal? Ask him how he would feel if you moved there instead of him coming where you are. You also want to be sure he doesn't have a wife/girlfriend or kids he's not telling you about (although he could get away with lying about that-for a while anyway), Ask him hasn't anyone ever applied for a visa on his behalf before. These are just a few things I can think of to help guide you. Lastly, just take your time. If it's genuine, there's no rush.

Just remember the author of the book " How Stella got her Groove back" . If you cannot Google it and read the out come of that relationship.

Please do stereotype all Jamaican men as being gay. Thats an insult to my culture and my husband culture. If you have no knowledge about Jamaica or the culture please refrain from making statements like this. Thanks ☺

It is not about being gay, I refer to Stella , because they met under similar circumstances,, and from what she is said he is saying to her , it seems she is being wooed in a similar fashion too
