Chapeadora?
Also on another note, how do Dominican women talk to their brothers?聽 She has a brother and they are clearly family they have very distinctive facial features and they look a lot alike.聽 But on her social media when she mentions her brother it almost sounds as if it's like what someone would say to a lover in the US.聽 Things like "True love", "My one and only", "bae", "always yours", etc.聽 Is this normal?聽 It seems very strange to me.聽 She lives with her mother and brother.

Everyone play nice or I will delete.
The odds of this being real are the same as winning the lottery. You need to do lots of reading about the culture here. You absolutely need to assume everything she says is some version of a story UNTIL you verify it.
Sorry honey but 14 years of living here and following these stories and I can tell you it's bulldingleberries!!!
I really appreciate the advice though, it's good to be skeptical.
I think it was Perter, Paul and Mary that sang..."when will they ever learn, when will they ever learn"聽

聽 figures it happens to me when i'm more mature and ready to settle down haha.Trying to get a better insight into the case.
How old is she ?
How old is the mother ? Does she work ? If yes in what ?
What is/are the brother(s) job(s) ?
Where is the father ? Were you told he helps ?
In which neighbor of Santo Domingo do they live ?
Have you seen their house ?
I will ask her the questions you wanted to know here shortly, and see what she says.聽 As for now unless something changes she is going to pay to fly to florida and spend a vacation with me.聽 Even when I offered to pay for half of her ticket to London or even the whole thing if her mom could not help she said no no it's too much we can save together to go in the future. Even when I argue with her and say I want to go.聽 Maybe just sweet talks to trap me it's true, I have said sweet things before to get someone in a position I want, as I assume most people have but still.
Edit: the last time the "kissing cousin" was in a foto or anything was well over a year ago. 71 weeks to be exact. and plenty of photos before that.聽 I just told her right now that i'm not dumb so just to be honest with me, that i'm very skeptical that's her "brother"聽 so it'll either send her running since I shouldn't be worth the effort as i'm clearly hard to convice or she'll stick around cause she likes me.聽 that's the hope.聽 or thirdly it just annoys her and she runs off haha.
I thought dentistry was one of the medical fields RD excelled in. You cannot graduate from dental school in 4 years.
What was she doing during the 4 year hiatus?
If she does not ask for money or tickets, but you offer, she can always say, "but I asked for nothing". Is her ticket round trip??
I鈥檓 sure she鈥檚 not complete with school but she says she graduates with her ba at this point.聽 Edit: she said in US she would only be a heigienist or auxillary though.
I鈥檓 not sure what she was doing, we stopped talking because I started seeing someone.
Her ticket to FL is round trip. I don鈥檛 live there anyway. I鈥檓 just taking vacation.
Also she supposedly goes to school at pontificia universidad cat贸lica madre y maestra. She lives in Santiago.
To clarify no we are not known for dentists here. The really good ones will be at least partly educated in USA or Cuba or Spain amongst other places.
That doesn't mean there isn't excellent dentistry at amazing prices - there is!
I also made it extremely clear I鈥檓 looking for a partner not someone to take care of the rest of their life.
It's normal here to go to school one day a week or in evenings and work! Most do this.
What she says and what she does are likely to be very different. That too is normal.
The ex model I actually met locally where I live. She was really cool, and a good friend still. She really looks out for me.
Rule of thumb: believe nothing unt it is proven and you have seen it with your own eyes.
Why not justify fly in and surprise her?聽 That will tell you a lot.
Remain skeptical.
99% of the girls that practice online dating are looking for a gringo husband, visa or a sugar daddy. Why a beautiful woman will search a partner online when she can find a bunch of men around her?
4 years online is a LONG time which means (in my experience) that she is probably a sugar daddy specialist. Don't give a dime until you have met her in person, that is simple common sense.
Instead of trying to guess about her relative, manage to go and spend time while in vacation. If first meeting goes well, take her in a Resort or something.. You will never really know how she is in person if you don't spend -at least- a couple of days together.
Good luck.

That is nothing wrong with wanting 'exotic girls'.
They will always tell you the white western Man is the best thing since slice bread, that Dominican man is a lazy cheater. However if you get some more experience in RD, you will notice how many of them get pregnant very young with a local guy in the barrio.
Some Dominican girls may very well fall in love with you but they will always expect you - 'Rich white man'- to support with money. That is something very strongly graved in their DNA.聽 So if you start to complain about paying her gifts or whatever you will very quickly be treated of "Taca帽o".
The best thing you can do is to experience yourself the whole story and see how it goes and we all spare our time from unwanted advice.
Good luck.
