Well, I head to Russia in 8 days to see the new girl. I am very encouraged, we have talked for 2-4 hours for the past three days and shared more than I care to write about here on this forum. She lives just east of Ural Mts. in Siberia. In fact, she crosses the border daily-working in Asia and living in Europe-a trip of 8 miles.
For those that say I should be looking for American girl, kiss my ass. For those that wish me luck-thank you. I am very excited and full of hope.
Castaway,
Well at least you're doing the right thing by getting out there and doing it rather than hiding behind a keyboard.
If you don't go to her to maybe 'snap her up' then some other guy will and if it is to be a wasted exercise then better to find out now than after 6 or 12 months of letters.
Good Luck.
Thanks Martin, I agree fully, get our butts over there and meet them in person. I can not do the "cattle call" type tours but after I talk to them online for a week, I make a decison to either dump em or move forward. This one is the first ever to spend hours a day talking with me and sharing her heart. Maybe...Gosh I hope so.
Castaway,
I spent some 5 years of letters with meeting some after maybe 2-3 months of letters, some wanted me, some just drifted away, I had been just one of a number of guys they had been writing to.
I met my, now, wife after 1 week, I had spent 5 years of waiting months but met 'the one' after only a week, I hadn't given her the chance to write or meet with anybody else!
It is all about 'he who dares wins', ladies will probably be wring with 5 or more guys but it will be the one who travels who has the best chance of winning what is effectively a race.
I was joking with one of my wifes friends last week, I asked her who she was writing with and she told me about a guy in UK. I then asked her who else she was writing with, she went bright red but one by one she admitted to writing with about 5 or 6 guys, it's standard!
Thanks Martin
I may spend my money supporting the bankrupt airline industry but I will go see them in person. I know what I need to know after a couple weeks of letters, provided she get involved and writes every day and puts some substance in the letters.
This lady did, she has written and spent more time online with me than my previous wife ever spend sharing with me-and that marriage was for 13 yrs.
I returned last night from Russia, and for us Floridians...it was damn cold! Bring your long underware! I noticed the temps east of the Urals was below freezing most everyday, and well below in some cities. I brought back a good head cold, and it kind of put a dent in my plans for our (my girl and I) last few days together in Moscow. Stay warm, don't catch a cold, and have a great time! Good luck.
Thanks Neon, but I have very hot blooded, I was only person in Moscow last week walking around in short sleeves, all other with jackets and fur hats and such. But I will plan for cold.
Glad Tel3 is working for you. I use it and 5stars for all my international calls. Very easy to use without the anoying PIN to remember and you can program your girls phone number so it is like speed dial. Now if I can just find a good plan for making return calls from Russia to US I would be very happy. Know of any?
And Nas, make sure to watch the final race this weekend. I'll be there for all the action starting Friday night. Got a hotel on South Beach so there will action to watch on and off the track! Missed the last couple of weeks of action while in Russia. Have to say I'm not a big Tony Stewart fan. Would be happy to see him go out early and have Jimmy Johnson win the championship. Probably not much chance of that.
Now off to the store to buy groceries. Been home 18 hours and put in a full day at the office... Ugh, this returning from Russia is difficult.
