Love in Panama

Love in the little Central American country of Panama has a variety of cultural influences that can be credited to their central location and influences by various countries.  I like to think of Panama as the “hybrid of love.”  With all the different influences on Panama’s unique culture of love, you can’t go wrong finding that special someone here.

Panama consists of six different native Indian cultures and each of them has their own different practices and traditions, but are very similar also.  Every province and different culture of Panama, each take great pride in their own distinctive dances, music and cuisine. 

Everywhere you go the rich dancing and culture engulf your spirit and takes you to a different culture within the one country.  When finding love in Panama dancing has a great deal of influence on relationships.  If you and your partner can dance well together, it is seen as your relationship will be successful and fruitful.

Like in Mexico, calling each other pet names and using little phrases like “mi amor,” “mi reinita,” and “mi corazon” are used in daily conversations between couples.  The little “sweet nothings” mean a lot in the dating world of Panama.

In Panama there is a lot emphasis put on greeting’s and welcome’s where ever you go.  Etiquette is very important.  Displaying that you are a well rounded person will help you not only in the long run but will help you be seen as someone that has a good family life.  Family relationships are extremely strong in Latin cultures including Panama.

The appearance of Panamanians is considered to be relaxed, easy going and live an informal lifestyle.  Although the appearance is relaxed, it is tradition that women always dress to impress when leaving the house.  

Women are treated very well by their significant other where ever they go.  Panamanian women are seen as delicate, and rarely do you see a women shake hands with someone, instead they lightly brush cheeks when greeting others. 

Panamanian relationships tend to get very serious very fast.  Men often express their intentions of marriage very early on in the relationship to make sure that the women knows what she is getting into.

Panama’s culture puts emphasis on the personal relationship with one person and typically don’t take time to build any other personal relationships with anyone else after you have settled down with your love.  Many other cultures may see this as being “snobby,” but to the traditions in Panama, it is simply just another tradition.

Because of all the influences on the culture of Panama, finding love can be an elevating exprenece.  In just one country, you may experience many different cultures and be able to fall in love in a way you would have never expected.
