I have recently returned from a holiday to Domincan Republic, for 2 weeks, and one thing overall caught my attention. The men there are VERY attracted to young, white, blonde girls. I get it that the main reason is that all the women there are the opposite, (excluding the young bit) like dark skinned, dark hair, that sort of thing, so it is like more exotic for them to see the tourists that, like myself, are different from the normal girls in their country. So I didn’t take it too seriously when they stared and winked at me, and asked me my name and that sort of thing. But one of the waitors in the restaurant we went to each night…he was different. At first his attention made me feel flattered, like the first morning he said to my Dad, “your daughter is very beautiful” and we just laughed it off and like him wanting a tip and stuff. But then, when he started getting more…what’s the word…forceful…(not the right word but the best I could think of) it made me feel uncomfortable. Like half way through the holiday, he caught me on my own, and whispered “I would like to kiss you.” I wasn’t sure if I had heard him right, so I didn’t say anything, so he said, “would you give me one kiss?” I didn’t have a clue what to say, so I just blushed, smiled and shook my head, before walking away quickly. And like, he would always come up to our table, even if he was not our waitor, and talk to me, touch my hand, that sort of thing. It was a joke to my Dad and step-mum and brother, and I didn’t let on that I was uncomfortable with it, but after a while, it started to scare me. It sounds silly, but like I’d dread going to dinner, i’d try to hide from him when in the restaurant, my heart would start hammering when I heard his voice calling me, I’d stammer when he asked me questions. I don’t know why, but he terrified me. I started off feeling flattered, then it turned to feeling uncomfortable, and then just plain scared. Is this common in those areas? I can’t be the only one to get treated like this, surely. I’m a 14year old English teenager. And also, do you think my reaction was too much? Over-reacting? In the day I’d tell myself I was being stupid, and their was no reason to be scared, but as soon as we started going towards the restaurant, i’d just get so worried…What do you think?
