I went to South America and brought back a North American souvenir — a guy who just happened to be good-looking, employed, travel savvy, available and local. Wait, was he a unicorn?

We made plans for a second date in mid-March. I was unsure about disobeying the looming coronavirus guidelines. But I couldn’t help but wonder: Could I find love before a statewide shutdown?We spent the next few months trying to re-create the spontaneity and romance of our time abroad.

He took me to the 73rd floor of the Wilshire Grand Center at sunset and we reminisced about that other sunset view we shared in Bogotá. We tried to maintain our Cartagena tans by sunbathing at Speedo-laden Will Rogers State Beach. We laughed remembering about the aggressive vendors at Playa Blanca, and lamented that we couldn’t enjoy an ice cold Aguila on the beaches of California.

Our dates took us on leisurely walks exploring L.A. neighborhoods, ducking into random bookshops and checking out farmers markets as if we were tourists in our own city. The only difference was we were sampling Asian pear and seasonal peaches instead of lulo and papaya. I can’t pinpoint exactly why our vacation affair did not translate into a relationship back in Los Angeles.Did our vacation personalities mesh better when dinner cost less than $10, including drinks and neither of us had work the next day? Maybe it’s easier to navigate being hangry in a foreign country together than negotiating L.A. traffic from Echo Park to Sherman Oaks trying to make a midweek hike.

Under the California sun, our differences, though minor when traveling abroad, came to light. The foodie in me is always down to try new cuisine, but at home he was less willing to try lengua tacos and eel rolls. While he is always punctual no matter where in the world he is, I admit I’m sometimes running on Filipino time. His frugality on vacation seemed practical, but here in California it came across as cheap. He said I was more introverted on U.S. soil.

How many vitamins are around!

Well-written LAA entry about the practical side of romance.

Cool story, bro

Snore! Typical white savior love affair mentality. Is this the same guy at the restaurant in Carmel Valley who yelled racist obscenities at an Asian American? Yeah, not so romantic anymore.

Wait when did the LA Times get bought out by Cosmopolitan?

If you read the article, it says the guy was also from LA. 🤓

When the pussy quivers

Wait, what?

All this time and you haven’t fucked for fuck’s sake? The dude was a sausage connoisseur.

Is the problem she is looking for a unicorn?

Damn paywall ....can some give me the gist please ?
