Yellow dessert bananas would be guineo maduro or bananas. Guineo is not used to refer to plantains.
So when they want green bananas, they don't say guineos verdes like you might expect, just guineos.
Both guineos and platanos tend to hang out in bunches.
Me: Me gusta su fotos. Voy a ir alli pronto por vacaciones. Posible organizamos un dia para reunirse?
25 yr old DC chica from SD: Hola gracias, todo es posible pero para eso tengo que tener dinero why por mala suerte no trabajo.
Now if she was already in Sosua, I just might try to work something out. A cabana for this one would be a safer option.
This very hot 30 plus advised me that I may not want a women like her who works in a club. I was you are exactly the kind of woman I am looking for. I can not wait to see what club she works in. Her body is unreal. I think it is very much enhanced.

Interestingly, it often goes on for a while getting "usted" from the other side while I am at "tu". Curious this age gap thing.

Mi gusta tus fotos, voy a Sousa para vacaciones, quieres encontrarme.
Just my limited Spanish.

Curious this age gap thing.[/QUOTE]I'm to the point, as messed up as most of them are writing in their own language, as long as I get the message across and they understand it, I'm good. I write the way they write up to a point. Most of the time, I have to correct some things they hit me with, before I can make sense of it. One or two words misspelled or misplaced in a message can change the whole meaning. Not to mention lack of punctuation throughout a message. Got to know when their sentences end, and a new one begins. And where commas should be etc etc.

Just my limited Spanish.[/QUOTE]Have you learned to enunciate to someone all of that, the same way you wrote it? If so, that's pretty good. I can somewhat. For me, it depends on what I need to get across. Some messages are complex, others quite simple.
[QUOTE=Surfer500;1607280]Que [b][u]guapa[/u][/b] eres tu[/QUOTE]Although guapo / guapa means "handsome / beautiful" in Spain and Central America (and possibly in South America? I have never heard it used that way in the DR, where it always means "angry". I suppose it would be complimentary if you were writing to a dominatrix.
In practice the chica would probably know what you mean from hearing it in Mexican novelas on TV, but "linda" or "hermosa" would be more idiomatic.

I know ones feminine and the other masculine. But who uses which and when?

But who uses which and when?[/QUOTE]The adjective has to agree with the grammatical gender of the noun. Dia is masculine (one of those masculine nouns that appears female), so it would be "dia lindo". (I'm not sure why you have the word order reversed--is this a greeting like buen dia or a remark about the weather like "nice day isn't it" or "what a pretty day" The normal way to say "have a nice day" would be "Que tengas un buen dia," but I suppose you could say "que tengas un dia lindo".
My understanding of "guapo" is that it is used somewhat sarcastically to describe someone who is rude. In English we might say "lovely person!" when someone is rude, and in Spanish the word "guapo" could be used in this way. In the DR it can also mean "feisty" or "overbearingly self confident. ".

Just my limited Spanish.[/QUOTE]How about:
"Me gustan mucho las fotos que me enviaste. Me voy a Sosua de vacaciones y me gustaria verte tan pronto como sea posible. ".
However I guess chicas will get your general gist regardless of whether the Spanish is grammatically correct or not, or if you use the American spelling "Sousa" for Sosua. However, sometimes there can be a complete change of meaning, or a misunderstanding. For example occasionally unwary students of Spanish forget that "embarazada" means 'pregnant' and not 'embarrassed' which would be "avergonzada. ".
