7 months ago I introduced myself on this forum and explained that I had picked a beautiful face out of about 2000 ladies over 30 years of age, and was now writing to this person. I was surprised when several forum members kindly suggested that perhaps I should be writing to 10 or even 20, as the chances of this one correspondence being successful was remote to say the least.
However I had begun a journey, and decided that I wanted only to write to this person and see what happened. I had obtained her personal e-mail address from a company other than the one that this forum is attached to. Her home address and work telephone number were also given, as security against scammers by this company.
Her letters were direct, not through an agency, with some spelling mistakes and some grammar that was not quite perfect, and I knew straight away that this person was real and genuine. I suppose I felt that it would be disrespectful to write to others at the same time. We got to know each other gradually and became friends, but my confidence in any future was a little slim by most of the stories that I read here.
We met last week in Russia over several days. After spending a day together sightseeing, I was smitten, and she liked me too a great deal. We are going to take the relationship forward, meeting again soon.
I can't describe the humility this has made me feel, that I picked one girl, travelled to see her, refused to take any back up plan, or any intention to contact an agency and date others if it didn't work out, and yet the whole thing was a huge success.
I am an average looking English guy of 49, very athletic and fit due to my work and the sport I pursue. My lady is 15 years younger, and beautiful.
Tringa,
I am happy that you feel you have found your match. Now that the easy part is over, I hope
over the near future your relationship blossums. As far as corresponding to only one girl, to each his own. I don't know the numbers but it is rare that you make one trip to see one girl and it works out. Can you imagine what your feeling would be if there was no chemistry when you flew to see girl in Russia and came up empty...you would be writing of how wise all those guys were in having a backup plan. I still think it is a wise move...it has helped me immensely.
Hi Tringa, I'm 32 and i'm currently emailing a girl from russia two years younger than me, we've emailed each other for the last two months every day without fail. I've got fond of her and she's sent me alot of pictures of herself. She is to beautiful. I would like to go out to see her in the next couple of months, but i feel scared going to a country which i can't speak any of the language. But in my heart i feel i need to do it. Tell me went to meet her, How did you feel and was you nervous like i am, when i decide to go.
Beemer,
thanks for your good wishes, and I'm certainly not suggesting that everyone try this method, guess I've been very lucky.
Adman,
thank you too. I was in the same city as you, Volgograd. Other than dine out and visit the monument, not a great lot to do there.
Mickey,
I've had some wacky adventures in my life so I wasn't afraid of venturing into Russia on my own, the only thing I was nervous of was that the girl may not like me, but I had to go and find out. The Russian women are beautiful, elegant, sophisticated. Many of the ones in their early and mid twenties looked as if they had attended etiquette school for young ladies for several years, and they would turn heads where ever they went, anywhere in the world. But these were city girls, and some of them seemed to be a little aloof with it. However, if you have the chance to have a relationship with a beautiful Russian girl, it is well worth mustering up the courage and going. Everyone I met was really nice, and never did I feel unsafe, but some of the taxi drivers are crooked and will try and charge you 3 or even 5 times the normal rate, find out the going rate and barter firmly with them. You can usually find someone who speaks a little English. Carry a photocopy of your passport in your pocket in case the police stop you.
Adman,
I was in the same city as you, Volgograd. Other than dining out there was very little to do. Boy did I have some fine steaks.
