Mating and Dating, US Spain Relations

I think he thinks he's my Novio (boyfriend)..... He definitely brought up the N word last time I was with him.

The eternal single girl, pride in independence and individual decision making, may quite possibly have broken down, and started dating a guy for more than two weeks.

I've noticed that when it's a friend of a friend, someone coming with some sort of trusted recommendation, the success rate when meeting new friends or potential lovers is about 97%. Our friends know us best don't they? This isn't Mom or Bubby trying to introduce me to a nice, Jewish boy from the NY burrows.

I was at a birthday party with a bunch of Finnish, British, and Spanish folks... and for the first time probably in my life, I started talking to the shy guy.

Really any excuse to practice my Spanish skills.

Without the pillow-talk details I will say this. Over the last few weeks we have been going back and forth between Barcelona and his town about an hour south of the city. One night laying on the beach at sunset, yes I respond to cheese filled romance, I mentioned how I told a girlfriend of mine we like to make-out for a few hours at a time.... without stopping to breathe. His response:

Hasn't she ever had a boyfriend before?..... Nunca ha tenido un novio?

Excuse me ... a what....?

What does that mean?
1. Literally has she never liked a guy enough to do that?
or
2. He is my boyfriend and that's why we do that and why can't she relate?

ummm.....

I thought American guys moved quick, but they move quick in another way, very hit it and quit it. Spanish guys, let you know that they are your boyfriend, your novio, and then walk around holding your hand so everyone else knows and make it hard to date a few people at once.

What happened to dating being like the sampler platter. Just trying to figure out what we are looking for.

Us Spain relations... we may just need a little more Clinton.
