To be honest, we sometimes wonder what it’s like to date a Colombian woman. We watch T.V. shows and the media often portray her as this sexy, feisty, and flirtatious woman with a flair for the dramatics.

But are all these portrayals true?

Colombian women are all unique and wonderfully amazing in their own way. So it’s wrong to label them to a particular stereotype. Colombian women may share similar characteristics inherent to their culture. But it doesn’t define their individual identity.

This is why it’s important to learn their culture first before making any rash generalizations.

Here are some common questions you might ask if you end up dating a Colombian woman:

Are they always late with appointments?

Not always. There are Colombians who are punctual and stick to their promises. But more often, you might encounter Colombians who aren’t used to being punctual all the time.

Some might make up random excuses to buy more time. This can feel frustrating for people who’re used to having people being punctual. So keep in mind that when you’re meeting with a Colombian woman, she might run late.

Don’t take it to heart if they’re flaky with their appointments. The best thing you can do is prepare for plan B in case they don’t show up.

Do I always have to pay for each date?

Yes. In Colombian dating culture, it’s normal for the man to pay the bill. Gender roles in Colombia are more prominent than in the U.S. This means you’re expected to display acts of chivalry — including paying the bill when you go out on a date.

Additionally, Colombian women expect you to take the lead when it comes to dating. This means you’ll have to initiate most conversations or invite her out on dates.

It doesn’t mean they’re not interested. Their dating style is just different compared to the west.

In fact, many Colombian women are independent. Some do offer to split the bill with you or offer to pay it. But offering to pay the bill can earn you bonus points.

Are they family-oriented?

While not all of them are, the majority of Colombian women are heavily family-focused. In Colombia, there is a general expectation for Colombians to be committed towards their family and the overall community.

Close family ties provide Colombian women with a network of support and safety, especially during times of need and difficulty.

If she invites you to meet her family or attend a family gathering, then that’s a strong sign she sees you as more than a casual boyfriend.

Is it worth it to date a Colombian woman?

Yes, they are definitely worth dating. Despite the cultural differences, many men find dating Colombian women appealing. Many of them take care of their physical appearance, making them one of the most beautiful women on the planet.

Additionally, they are fun to be around, and affectionate when they’re serious with their partners. You can find great Colombian women through dating apps or through legitimate matchmaking websites.
