To give you an example of another aspect of my life: When I'm in love, dancing is a way I express how I feel about that special person. When you put your heart into it, it becomes more than a dance--it's a form of expression to say "Je t'aime".

I enjoy looking at a beautiful woman, I like to contemplate her hair moving in the wind, the way she walks, the way she smiles, and the way she views life. Her beauty goes far beyond her outward appearance. Each woman has her own beauty, strength and mystery. They deserve to be loved, respected and appreciated every single time.

The other day I was visiting downtown San Diego in California, I realized that women are surrounded by beauty. My eyes were paying attention to small details that were so powerful. There was a mother buying an ice cream for her child--the way she talked to him, the way she hugged him and the way she said, "Hey here is your ice cream". There was a working woman who passed by, so determined to conquer the world. She looked so sexy in her dress like she was ready to go into battle, and she was going to fight it with her beauty. Then there was a grandmother who's waiting for her daughter to help her sit down in a small cafe--the way she smiled, the way time had been her ally over the years. Her gray hair tells you her passion for life; perhaps it's her pride to let you know she conquered many things in her life.

What I'm trying to share with you is that Latin man are expressive and that can only happen if we connect with our hearts, if we take time to get to know our hearts.

As I was walking in downtown San Diego, I realized how much I have missed a special friend who is a part of my life. I walked all over the place, and every place I went I longed to be with her. Whether it was at the local cafe where we could spend time sharing, or the store where she could try things on, or simply walking down the street holding her hand--and by that touch, I know that she is in my life. But it was only a dream.

You see what I mean when I tell you that it is great to connect with your heart. I ask God that someday all the things I long to do with her will become a reality.

What is a Latin Lover?

A Latin lover is a man of passion, who has depth far beyond the first impression. He longs to provide for the daily needs of the woman whom his heart loves. He wants to protect her, to grow old with her, and to empower her to reach her dreams. He aches to become a father and is already making plans for the future arrival of those who will call him Papi!

Do these things make him any less sexy or passionate? If anything they should make him more so. He has life in proper perspective. Though the temptation is there, he chooses not to gratify his passions with frivolous relationships. He seeks a Godly woman who will support him when he is weak and allow him to lead when he is strong. He's willing to work for her and he enjoys the challenge of an endless pursuit. He's willing to take risks, yet he cautiously prepares for the future. His unexplored dimensions make him mysterious, but his willingness to be vulnerable allows him to be known. And amazingly, he has insight into the most guarded heart - his own.

Undoubtedly, as he continues to seek God's will, he will be blessed with a wife who perfectly complements him. It is my prayer that the world's definition of a Latin Lover would one day reflect what I know to be true.  (Lori A., Florida)

I believe this definition captures the essence of the true Latin Lover, every word, every comma agrees with my heart.
