that skype thing can be an ass to sort if you are new to it or you are me, i have had my problems with getting a picture a few times after downloading the program, or getting yourself through the site,, i wouldn't say its the easiest site to navigate,,,, its like a government department site,,, plainly confusing at times.
its a bugger Holy, if you are relatively new to this, thats where these vampires get you,, you just are not so blatant in questioning and as lonely said the gut meter gives them very little time.
the worst part is where you are now, getting confused between the honest and dishonest.
sometimes even the honest can dig holes over nothing because of embarrassments or what ever.
ok you have one thing you are unsure of, file it and carry on with what you are doing with it to see where it goes and now look for another..
to me the the brother thing is connected to that same confusing problem you have with her, its part of the same confusing question, the cafe, skype, brother..
if you can find another dodgy thing that isnt connected to the cafe brother thing then i would worry.
by the way i wouldnt hold much to the brother story,, its possibly a avenue she could take if needed, so uses it to satisfy your mind and i found their streets are safer then ours.
remember if you havent been to Ukraine, and you are serious with this FSU thing you will need to make the trip anyway to get a feel for the place, people and general travel probs.
with or without her you need to go some time.
if all else with her is ok at least you are thinking straight and are less likey to be really disappointed and taken for a ride, you are not oblivious to there rubbish now which is a big thing.
sunvolt, i hate it when simple questions aren't answered, but interesting request,, see how it goes.
i dont think you can be caught with any charges as you suggested.
