Dating an Argentinian guy was amazing. He was enamorado after the 2nd day and nonstop in love with me after that. We met each other's families and were pretty much living together- He was very sweet attentive, PASSIONATE, the Argentinians speak in so many metaphors they are like poets about everything and its beautiful and very romantic all the time. There were a few weird cultural differences, like he would call his sisters vaca which means cow and he told me that guys call their girlfriends gorda which means fat, being from the US that's like the worst thing you could call a girl, but they seem to take it like a term of endearment. So after about 6 months he ended things VERY suddenly like as fast as he was in love with me, he decided he didn't love me anymore and like poof! out of my life. Then I found out he's in love with someone else like not even a month later.

So I guess falling in love happens fast for these guys, ends fast and happens again with someone else, it's not about commitment, they are just players. They love you when they're playing though that's for sure. So enjoy it but don't expect it to last, no matter how crazy about you he seems.
