Almost Fearless: Making and Breaking Friends on Caye Caulker Part 1 of 2

  • Chris · 11 months ago
    Two-part suspense thriller! I like it.

    I think you are very brave to travel on your own anyway. I guess it is a personal bridge that needs crossing and gets easier once you take the plunge.

    Smart, smart, smart. I think it's good to not be closed to new experiences or you may find yourself alone all the time, but it's important to know where the line is, to draw the line yourself so there's no doubt and to listen to your instincts. I can't wait to hear part 2, b/c it seems to me he knows where you're staying...

    Oh boy. I know Belzian men and I have a feeling that he didn't give up that easily. I think this is a great experience to share, it not about fear but about trusting your instincts and sticking to boundaries.

    ... tell me you did not kick him in the balls!

    Seriously though, woman who travel have another layer of interactions to decode, thus articles like this are good.

    I think you were brave to take a taxi driver's recommendation on a room. Does that work for you when traveling, or do you usually book a place in advance?

    A very impressive use of the "zeigarnik effect." Looking forward to the next half. Unless, it's something overly bad.

    Oh I love a great story! Can't wait till part 2. Yeah I know a couple guys in Belize and they can be very direct if you know what I mean. But I also know some guys that are very very kind people and are great to be around. Hope you enjoyed your time there though!

    I'd be scared if I was in your shoes. I look forward to Part 2 and hope he wasn't able to find you!

    Waiting for the part 2 ! I think you were very brave to spend those many hours with him. I couldn't have.
    There is a saying in India meaning if the girl laughs, you can be assured she is for the game.

    It's always the thing, isn't it? Is someone genuinely trying to be friendly or are they looking for a handout? (or even more, if you're a woman)

    I'm looking forward to part two, but I'm not surprised by part 1. Of course he was going to hit on you, am I the only one who saw that coming from a mile away?

    My rule for ladies is this. If the guy wouldn't do something for another guy that he's doing for you (i.e. helping you find a place, asking for a beer, etc.) then he's probably thinking you're into him.

    This is one of the cons of travelling alone. I hope you don't have a new found stalker on the loose.

    Look forward for the second part of the story...

    Arrghhh!! Cliffhangers kill me, including the movie!
    Yes, sometimes guys are just nice and buy you drinks. After I've had two, I'm liable to pickup a tab no matter who's with me.
    In this case, it was real good idea to turn your your back when he turned his!
