Best of luck with it all. Hope it works out well. 
Not as much as me! 
But thank you!
And just to update a bit more: Up to over 400 text messages back and forth now, and international texts are not included in any text plans! And, that’s since we started I.M’ing too.
Just can’t help but to send a “Miss You” or “Hey Gorgeous” text every now and then, and of course getting them form her always puts a big smile on my face! 
It pays to have a foundation other than sexual attraction for the long haul. With Daniela in Brazil, you don’t have the chance to act on it…not a bad thing. It gives you a chance at real rapport.
Any LTR I had that worked out…didn’t start in bed. I don’t want to be just sexually attracted to someone, I want to like them. I want to spend time with them because I enjoy their company as well. When I’m too old to get my legs in the air, I want to be with someone I really like. Wolf is my best friend. I love him to pieces but I like him just as much.
Good luck with her, Cowboy, I always wish you the very best!
Bella
XOXOXOX

This is so true
What Bella said.
Best of luck, Mark.
If you have a smartphone/blackberry/iphone, you can get the google chat interface for it. Then, you’re chatting over broadband, real time, and it’s covered in the dataplan - which is unlimited, no matter where you are.
Also, blackberry chat, AIM chat mobile, MSN Messenger mobile, etc - all the same.
See what kind of phone she has. Financially, it might be worth it to switch. And, Verizon has a buy one blackberry, get one free thing right now - maybe a “gift” for her to keep in touch more/better/cheaper?
I haven’t really been around much lately, excepting for to follow the drama of last week and to give Tisha my very warmest wishes!
And this post is not at all phero related, but I just got some awesome news and wanted to share it!
For the past several weeks I’ve felt like I was being pulled in a million directions, and like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders!
Then a week or so ago, Daniela told me that she might not be able to make it to Dallas next month, because she had rehearsals for her movie in July, but wasn’t sure when they were supposed to start yet.
Then just to top it off, yesterday, for whatever reason, the vast majority of text messages I was sending her started disappearing somewhere between here and Brazil, and she IM’d me yesterday with a little frown to let me know that she hadn’t received any texts from me. And that was after I had already sent her 3 texts that morning. 20 or so texts later and she had recieved a total of 2 of them. 
I was on the phone with Verizon for hours and hours, trying to figure out why the hell my texts weren’t going through, yet I still got her “miss you’s” and “thinking of you” messages, but she couldn’t get mine! I actually went and signed up with AT&T, just cause I couldn’t bear not being able to text her, but she never got the AT&T messages either, so I took them back their phone and canceled service with them! 
So for the past 2 days I’ve been moping around like a lost puppy and feeling lonely, cause I couldn’t let Daniela know how that I missed her or that I was thinking about her, for no other reason than to just let her know.
Well, we talked tonight and she told me that she had some great news: She’s going to be in Miami next week for 3 days! So guess who’s taking a couple of days off and flying to Miami to spend a bit of time with her?
I’ve been so excited since she told me that I feel like a kid on Christmas eve.
Funny, but you know who the first person was that I called to share my good news with? Bella! She is such an awesome woman, a great friend and has always been so supportive of me that it was just natural to want to call her first! Thanks for being you bella!
Aw, cowboy, thank you for the sweet compliment. The feeling is mutual. You know I want you to have your hearts desire. You deserve it. I’m so happy for you.
From what you’ve told me about Daniela, she seems sweet, nice and genuine.
Have a blast with her in Miami!
Christmas, huh? Just wait’ll til she gets a load of your package! 
Bella
You go and have fun Mark, always an inspiration, you don’t know how pleased I am for you, at this rate we’ll see you at next years Oscars hand in hand with the latest A list lady, Daniela
Well, todays the day I jump in a plane to Miami to go see Daniela! I got practically no sleep last night and have been up since 3:30, I guess cause I’m pretty excited. Funny, before logging on here I checked my I.M and she was up and on the computer too, so we chatted for a while.
I do have a bit of a report from Saturday night and what I would call a pretty major hit:
I wore 4 sprays of MX292 and 2 sprays of MX272, any surprise?
There was a girl that that I knew years ago, like 9 years ago. Way back when I met her she was 22 years old, had a 4 year old child and was going through a divorce. We became friends ( bar buddies really) for a short while, then she just disappeared.
She was at Red river Saturday night and we happened to be outside smoking at the same time. Ii had not seen her in nearly 9 years and I did not recognize her, at least partly because she had dyed her hair and partly because it had been so long and I never expected that I’d see her again, but she recognized me and seemed pretty surprised to see me there. She came over gave me a hug and asked if I remembered her, which at that time I still didn’t, but told her “of course I remember you”. We chatted for a few minutes and I kind of started thinking that I might remember who she was, but still wasn’t entirely clear. Before I was really sure we ended up going our separate ways and I just figured she was probably somebody that I’d met a time or 2 before, but not anybody that I really knew.
Awhile later she came over by the stage where I always sit and asked if I wanted to go outside for a smoke and to talk.
When we got outside she cozied right up next to me, and we started talking. She asked if I remembered going to dinner at Red Lobster with her way back when, which totally jogged my memory and then knew exactly who she was and how long it had been since I last saw her. She told me that she’s been married for 8 years, and she loves her husband but she’s not in love with him and never will be. Then she told me that when we met she was really shy, but that she wishes that she’s hooked up with me back then.
She said that to me several times, mixed in with telling me that I’m sooo hot! and asking why I’m still single. As we were standing outside talking she leaned in a couple of times and kissed me on the cheek, and at one point she reached over and started unbuttoning my shirt.
Before going back inside she told me that she wanted to give me her phone number and figured that she could tell her husband that she’s known me for years and he wouldn’t mind. I gave her my number as well and she told me that she was going to call me on Monday, but I told her that I’d be flying to Miami to see Daniela and might not get her call. And yeah, of course I told her about Daniela!
I had another minor hit or 2, but that one was kind of over the top.
Have a blast in Miami Mark! South Beach is music, food and rum all night long. A little pricey but worth it!
Thanks Renny I believe I’ll take you up on that! And, that’s where I’m staying! South Seas Hotel on Collins and 17th
I stayed just up the street on Collins, can’t remember the hotel name, one of the old art deco ones, in January before my second cruise. Very lively place!
Edit: just to note, between the humidity, the crowd, and the sea breeze, don’t bother with pheromones. Or at least plan on oil based.
Just a quick update before I take a little nap then meet Daniela for dinner and clubbing!
I got into Miami yesterrday, got the rental car and checked into the hootel, then grabbed dinner and hit Mango’s.
I was pretty damn tired because I had only gotten 3 hours sleep Sunday night and was gonna just have a couple beers and go back to the hotel early and crash. But, that didn’t happen! I ended up sticking around till after 4:00 AM and didn’t get back to the room at 4:30.
I LOVE MANGO"S!!!
Also met a cute little girl from the Dominican Republic and her friend. I shoulda taken a picture but only had my cell phone cam with me. Anyway she lives in New York now and told me that I had to come visit her, and that was after she asked if I was here with my wife or girlfriend, if I had either, and my telling her that I was only in Miami to meet up with daniela. We did exchange phone numbers though, so if I’m ever in New York, who knows!
Her friend got a little spunky too and started REALLY dirty dancing with me, and on a 1 -10 she was probably an 12.
I’ll come back and tell more when I get back home. Chow!
Oh yeah, I was wearing 4 sprays of MX292 and a cover scent of Zegna Intenso.
Well, I met up with Daniela last night at an awesome restaurant called Nobu’s and had one of the best meals of my life! After dinner we went to Mango’s and cozied up to each other.
I was wearing 4 sprays of MX292, 2 sprays of MX272 and 4 sprays of Instant Female Magic, coverred with Zegna Intenso.
All through dinner she kept telling me how good I looked and how great it was to see me and reaching across the table to hold my hand. I of course reciprocated, telling her that she looked amazing and how content I was in seeing her again.
When we finished eating she wanted to pay the check,because she said that she was the one who picked the restaurant. I of course insisted on paying, so she then offered to take care of the tip. I again told her that I wanted to pay, so then she wanted to pay for the drinks at Mango’s. I took care of the check and tipped the waiter quite well, so well that he told me the tip had already been included in the meal and he was going to bring me change. I went to use the restroom at that point and on my way back to the table the waiter handed me my change. When I got to the table and was going to leave an additional tip Daniela told me that she had already tipped him, quite well.
I have NEVER had a girl want to pay for anything before, and it was so nice and refreshing that she actually wanted to, even though I had no intentions of letting her. She also showed up at the restaurant with several gifts for me, which was so nice and completely unexpected. I of course had gifts for her too!
Last week when she told me she was going to be in Miami and made plans to get together, she told me that she had a question and asked if I thought we’d kiss in Miami, too cute! I told her that it would be entirely up to her. Anyway, when we got to Mango’s she told me that she had a question and an answer for me, then reminded me of when she asked me if I thought we’d kiss and wheat I told her, then said that she thinks we will. Of course that was my cue to lean in and kiss her, and the rest of the evening was spent cozying up to each other, touching, hugging and kissing. I told her her that I was going to keep her, and she said promise?
She had asked me to wear my cowboy hat because she says it’s sexy, and one of the gifts I brought for her was a cowgirl hat, so we wore the hats to Mango’s, which set us apart from the rest of the corwd. She noticed that we were getting a lot of looks and stares from people after we shared that first kiss, which was REALLY long and passionate, and asked me why everybody was looking at us. I told her it was probably because we were the only ones wearing cowboy hats, or that maybe they were wondering what that gorgeous girl was doing with a redneck.
She was really tired, as she arrived in Miami that morning at 4:00 AM and only got a couple of hours sleep, so we only stayed till around 2:00 AM, then I took her back the hotel, walked her to her room, shared another great kiss and said goodnight, then went to my room feeling more content than I’ve felt in a long, long time. We of course made plans to meet up today at 2:00, after she’s met with her attorney and immigration concerning getting her green card.
I’ll update again later, but so far this has turned out to be an amazing getaway.
I want to see a pic with the two of you in the cowboy hats! New avatar, please!
Ask and ye shall receive!
Weelll, I was supposed to fly back today, but at lunch daniela told me that her plans for tonight were changed to tomorrow night insteead (dinner with relatives), soooo, I changed my flight to tomorrow, bookede a room at the Ritz Carlton - her hotel, and we’re going out again tonight!
glad to see that you’re having a great time Mark!
While you’re there…
Hope the rest of the trip is just as awesome.
Ok, my last night in South Beach was f*****g awesome!!!
I met Daniela for lunch at a restaurant called Rio’s, which was terrific. She text messaged me and asked if I wanted to meet there, saying it was her treat. I told her I would meet her anywhere, but we’d see about her paying. I showed up at the restaurant with a card for her and she hands me a card and another gift. Damn, and I thought for sure my card would have been a surprise for her!
We had a great meal and she somehow had already made arrangements with the waiter to slip her the check without me seeing and was paying the tab. But, I did catch it and really did try to pay, but she just was not going to let me!
For dinner, Daniela and I met a friend of hers that was with her in Dallas the first time we met. We had dinner at this great Italian restaurant, and with our dinners we had beer and 2 bottles of fine wine. At dinner Daniela turned the conversation between her and I toward sex. We did not have sex that night and that’s all I will say on the matter, now or ever. But, we did exchange I Love You’s a number of times while we were in South Beach, so that should probably say something.
After dinner we went back to the hotel bar and had several drinks and were already getting pretty tipsy, then Daniela sees someone that she gets excited about seeing and says he’s one of the top ranked soccer players in the world, and goes over to say hello.
Well, Danieal’s father is pretty well known in Brasil and I suspect she is too, and apparantly he knows of either her or her father. So, next thing I know I’m being introduced to some dude named Ronaldinho and it’s like we are all best friends, but being from the U.S. I have no clue who the hell the guy is. We get invited to join his posse at a secluded area by the pool and have a few more drinks, then he invites us to go to what’s supposed ot be the hottest nightclub in South Beach and party with him..
The only problem is that everyone is speaking in Portuguese and I’m feeling totally left out. And Daniela is telling me what’s being said. Anyway about 8 of us pile in a van and take off for the club.
We get to the club and park right out front. There’s about 200 -300 people in front trying to get in, but the driver makes his way through the crowd and a minute later it’s like a parting of the Red Sea, with bouncers making a path for us, then escorting us inside and to the VIP area.
Well, I guess it turns out that this Ronaldinho guy is pretty damn well known because we become the center of attention in the club and everybody wants to know us. And, the waitresses are bringing bottle after bottle of champaign, filling the tables up with Heineken, Jaeger, and all kinds of other bottles of alcohol.
It was fucking wild!!!
Everyone was paying attention to him, including Daniela, and I was feeling really out of the loop, and a little irritated too. Anyway, we stuck around till about 4:30 in the morning then made our way out of the club, back to the van and back to the hotel.
I walked her to her room, kissed her goodnight and went to my room and passed out. Then woke up 6 hours later still drunk, checked out of the hotel and made my way back to return the rental and get to the airport.
Daniela was not up by the time I had t leave, so I felt kind of sad for not getting to say goodbye and get a kiss and a hug, but on the way to the airport I get a text message from her saying “Hey baby, I apologize for last night, I still love u, in case u’re wondering. Xoxo”. That text turned out to be her saying she was sorry for paying so much attention to Ronaldinho.
Then there was probably another 20 text messages back and forth to Daniela before boarding the plane, and when I landed in Dallas and turned my phone back on I had 3 more texts, including one that said “Hey baby, I want to see you SOON! Xoxoxoxo”, which put a smile on my face.
After sitting on the plane that was supposed to only be a 2 1/2 hour flight for almost 6 hours before getting off in dallas, I needed a little cheering up.
And now it’s back to the grind, and having to miss Daniela till I get to see her again.
All in all it was an awesome trip and I fell in love again for what I hope to be the last time!!!
CONGRATS!!!
And.. OMG!
You hung out with Ronaldhino!?!?!??!? giggle
Formerly of Miami, I understand the scene. Wow!!! I am super impressed!
Congrats again, Mark - and hot damn!!
