I used to have a problem with talking to girls live. I’m too shy and calm, and before I was able to say anything I lost the momentum with a girl. Online dating seemed like a logical solution. Because of good reviews, I decided to sign up at Amolatina. It didn’t take long for me to find interesting girls to chat with. Chatting online gave me enough time to form my answers, which seemed to be a solution to my problem. You can’t imagine how good it felt! Of course, it didn’t stay only at chatting. I am now in a happy relationship with a girl I met thanks to Amolatina called Valentina!

Amolatina was better than expected. I signed up on an advice of a friend, who found his girlfriend on this site. I was single for a very long time, and he thought I needed some cheering up. I didn't think it would work, but my friend was very persistent. If he wasn't, I would have probably still been single. I personally have no complaints about the site. Of course, "success" didn't come over night. I chatted with a couple of girls. For some I knew immediately, they were not right for me. After two months, I came across Gabriela, I knew very fast she was the girl I was waiting for.

I have written 3 letters to one lady on this site. I am 55 years old, divorced 11 years and considered reasonably good looking for my age and actually have social skills. I am not looking for a 25 year old and the woman I am "corresponding" with (if you could call it that) is 44 years old and very attractive looking -- and not "just for her age". Her profile caught my eye as did a couple of things she said in letters -- if indeed they are really her letters. I have written her detailed, rather lengthy letters, which I have translated into Spanish with an online service -- I do this for her convenience. The letters I have received back (just two, waiting on the third) are short and while she addresses a couple of things I brought up in my letter there is much she has not commented on or answered in a specific way. I told her of the translation I could do online so she sent me a letter in Spanish along with an English version I assume is from a translator -- done on AmoLatina, of course. The English version was quite disjointed and with sections of sentences and also I suspected there were even words missing, I double-checked this by translating her Spanish version into English online with a mostly identical result. I addressed this with customer service and advised them they could look at her letters to me, which a rep supposedly did -- his response to me was the letter is faithfully translated but admitted there were some words missing from the lady's letter -- then he dropped it with no explanation for that. I find this VERY weird -- if the letter is an accurate representation of what the lady wrote, then she has to be semi-illiterate and I do not think that is the case. I think the letters are heavily edited -- hers and probably mine -- and I wonder if they are even hers after reading reviews on this site. In one letter, she told me she travels to Miami to buy children's clothing to sell in Colombia and also she has three brothers and her mother there. I like the idea of meeting her there IF the correspondence piques my interest enough to travel there and meet her. I cannot imagine going on a Colombian tour/mixer. I have viewed the video clips of those on the website as well as on YouTube and virtually every woman I've seen in those videos is much younger than me -- and a high percentage of the men look like the dads at my daughter's soccer games -- how pathetic. I am not looking for a desperate young woman to use me for the purpose of coming to America. Get real guys, woman half your age do not want to be with you because you are all that. I've looked at other Colombian dating sites – more informal, not a dating "service" -- and Colombian women on those are indicating they want a man who is more their age, and not necessarily foreign. Anyway, that is my take on AmoLatina so far -- the jury is out until I receive a response to my third letter and I am not optimistic.

Since my experience with AmoLatina is a bit off the beaten track to Colombia, I'll mention it here. I am a fluent Spanish speaking international student, 60-something who has lived years in Mexico, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The dating sites are fascinating and AmoLatina has an excellent ploy by not charging a membership and then cashing in later. After receiving a nice letter in English that was just too good, error-free, from a 26-year-old in Havana, I looked at her video, for what, $8 I guess. Just so lovely! Since I had planned to go to Cuba this summer to take some classes, I responded with a couple of letters and some pretty specific small talk in Spanish about what's happening in her life and in Cuba. I also searched the site to discover that she is one of only two gals from Cuba and that both of their videos were shot on the same balcony. There are no AmoLatina tours to Cuba, right, and for an American to get in there is only now getting a little easier and then only 30 days at a time within an academic year. Yes, I did get letters back from whoever responds, some very long, but with no relevance to anything I had mentioned, such as my class dates and monumental meeting places around the University of Havana, which she would have known. Now, if my emails were censored or not, I have no idea, but her last letter regrettably explained that even within the AmoLatina routine, there is no way she will be able to meet with me, since, all of a sudden, she has a way to escape Cuba and go to Canada to work for an aunt, who she never mentioned. She does hope however, that we can continue to communicate through the web site. Well, amigo, figure the odds! The positive reviews of the site do come from guys who have made the Colombian and other tours to meet gals in pretty controlled visits, which strike me as very expensive, since for the same money I can get a full semester anywhere in Latin America, meet some real intelligent gals, do some interesting stuff, and have a 6-month student visa which allows me to drive a US-plated car down to where ever without too much paper work. The chat-video-email aspect of these sites has to be viewed as entertainment and little else. People in the US do pay hundreds of dollars to go to a football game and are equally disappointed when their team doesn't win.

I am a private investigator here in the U.S. and I worked with local authorities in solving some major cases. I had a friend contact me about two websites that are listed on the web. Latineuro.com and amolatina.com... I called him at 1oclock A.M. to let him know that these sites are not legitimate at all. I use some of my technology and found that one of the young ladies works on a porn site and she also works at a private escort service. I contacted a resource of mines in Bogota to check on one young lady and provided him with pictures and I was able to capture her entire name. Needless to say she was not from Colombia she lived in Brasil and also worked for escort agency. The woman that are on these sites are not real please trust me when I tell you this. Some of the reviews here are not legitimate as well because the trips to Colombia are all staged to entice Americans with pipe dreams to find their wives. I have contacted a private investigator for FBI to inform them of what is going on. Also, AmoLatina is ran out of Russia for many of you that are not aware. This means there is no jurisdiction. None of these Latin sites are legitimate. I found most of the same pictures on different sites that are owned by same people. Please people for the love of God! Stay away from 98% of these dating sites and trips to these country's, because they are there to take your money. I am working diligent with the authorities to try and get these sites shutdown because they are bogus! Stay away from 98% of these sites not legit!
