LoginWe had the privilege of speaking with Jennifer Ramos about her experience dating in Chile. I work in international education International Programs and Study Abroad at a university in the southeastern United States. We met in Puerto Varas, dated there, and moved together to Concepcion. We married in Chillan and moved to the United States a few years ago. I was really surprised he proposed to me in front of his whole family at a typical family barbecue! Chile is very European compared to other Latin American countries, with the exception of Argentina, which is even more European than Chile. Therefore, there were not many dating traditions that surprised me since my family is from the United States and we have roots in western Europe. It is not uncommon for Chileans to date and become very serious quite quickly. Also, most Chileans live at home until they are married.
Our program was only about 40 people I think, yet there were two of us that I know of who have already married Chileans and a few more who are still in serious relationship with them! It's crazy isn't it?!? As for piropos, don't get me started!!!! I wrote about that in my post too. I can't handle them, they make me so mad!!!!!!!!!!!

Abusive husbands! Click on the link and read her blog for yourself then get back to me or her about how appalled you are. And as far as I can tell, neither the man nor the woman in each scenario is anything less than awesome in their own right. These type of women, in general, are not those who run away from something but in my opinion, run towards something! Further, many of these women initially came to Chile on study abroad programs when they were very, very young — even before love was ever an option in Chile!
