You know he has a point. When you consider the hurdles we have to overcome it is a freaking miracle any of us pull this off.
Money, language, culture, travel, weather. I am begining to think that this is pure chance.
The only positive thing I have to say is that at least they are there !!
your last post was:
"Oct. 28 I leave for Vitebsk, Belarus to visit my girl the second time. We are going from Belarus to Moscow then to Sochi for a vacation on the Black Sea. We will also do the Fiance Visa Paperwork and I will file it upon return to USA. " what happened?
Sailor,
I hope that whatever the reasons for this decision does not cause you to pain the entire FSU female spectrum with the same brush.
Good luck to you too, mate.
Shit... I am pretty much upset... really pretty much. This guy really deserves happiness and this woman makes this shit...
You know this is too much for me. It really looks like the good guys have no luck with lockal girls while those whom I consider not worthy of anything win from the first try...
I am really not kidding. Greedy, closed, arrogant, selfish guys and liars for some reason have no problems. I've seen this sooo many times! But in the last 2 weeks two really good Americans were let down buy the girls here. One is Cast and whatever mean it may sound but I am glad that here I was just as an advisor and a travel agent and have no responsibility for Svetlana. But two weeks ago a guy came here and found out that the girl that he was writing to is already going to marry and is pregnant. There is an exuse that they haven't exchanged letters for the last 2,5-3 months but still it sux...
You know guys, I am beginning to think ower if I need to get this new licence for the dating agency whioe I have a tour agency and next week I am opening an advertising company... You know I am taking all this stuff too close to heart and it is really every time becoming too personal.
You know what I see. When a woman comes to an agency, she comes there not because she has good life, she feels and thinks miserable, she is not successful, lonely, looking for love and attention but when she gets it she feels like a small f...g princess and thinks "I am so cute and this guy is trying to get advantage of me. I deserve a better lot" The fact is that such person does not deserve it...
F...k... On Saturday I was planning to drive to Minsk to meet John and now the plans are changed. You know what, I feel bad.
I know I am butting in here, but is there any more to this story? Was the girl a little out of his league on the outside? Are expectations too high? Are there certain girls we should be avoiding in regards to personality or where they live?
I geniunly feel sorry for you cast, I would just like to learn from your experience, if you or felice care to expand a little on what happened.
Northwest,
This whole mirage of FSU women is nothing but a pure roll of the dice. You write e-mails and lose . Or you fly over there and still lose . And then you find the right one and still lose . You take that big, big chance as anything else in life. Nothing is certain but at least a marriage agreement will save part of your ass.........
Let us not get into the mode of “blame and shame”, this is not Sveta’s fault. She is the most wonderful person I have ever met and I feel truly blessed to have dated her, fallen in love with her and wanted to marry her. I have done all the wrong things, I have sent money every week, I have sent gifts and flowers, etc. She has been a lady throughout the entire relationship. Simply said, I feel she wants a strong man, a secure man and I am not that man.
Honestly, I am not like Izi and Toad; I do not lay down the law. I am a bit more insecure and I wanted reassurances of love that Sveta was not able to provide. It is totally my fault and she did nothing wrong. I will continue to help her and send her money for a couple months; that is just who I am. I really do not care that most of you think that is stupid or insane. I am who I am.
I wish this would have worked, she was my dream. I will not get back on that horse now that I have fallen. I do not paint anyone else with this brush.
Felice, please; thanks for your friendship and mountains of advice. This is not Sveta’s fault, she truly deserves happiness. I will miss you all. I love you Sveta-Good Bye My Love.
Sailor from what I know of you I think you are a really nice guy. Please don't give up as you told me earlier. Maybe not FSU but there is a whole world out there. I know you are heartbroken but you should have seen me when I split with Marina. Toad is still recovering from that conversation at 5 am.
What does not kill us makes us stronger so take a break and come and see me and the guys. We WILL get you drunk. Amber bock seems to be the weapon of choice at the moment.
If nothing else you have made some friends and there is strength in numbers. Jetson, Neon and myself share our srengths and weaknesses we even talk to each others girls. It is binding and gives strength.
Be strong within yourself, don't reach out, attract. It is easier and I am a great one to be talking. The English putz over here. I pick them beautiful and then they pick me over :))
For you others everything that Felice said is true. I learned, that it is why I seem so hard now.
These women respect authority and dominance even the most mouthy ones. I am sorry but just as with children a little fear has to be intstilled. Not of violence but that you will just go. If the boot gets onto the other foot look out!! I made that mistake many times now I do not.
It seems I am Adolf Hitler but in reality they get tons of rope it is up to them how they use it. Or abuse it.
So chin up buddy you have friends and somewhere to fall over. Could be much worse.
"Toad the Lawman"..???
Just call me Wyat from now on, mate.
And YES, Izi's call at 5:00 still rings in my ears. He owes me a bottle of vodka and a case of beer (but not at the same time, please :)
Go lick your wounds, Sailor; heal yourself and come back to try again...otherwise the alternative (a western woman) sucks.
Sorry to hear about your news, Cast. I wouldn't say that you are alone in your feelings on this issue. Some of us are wounded romantics. As far as sending money or helping out...you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. I am just now starting paper work on bringing woman over that I have been talking to for almost two years and even I have my doubts about the whole project.
