She seems genuine but I was put off a little with this suggstion to call her through this site. Latvia has phones and cell phones. I have been there myself twice coz I am half Latvian so I know they have "normal" mobiles and the sms does work to the UK and back.
So.....??? I am puzzled why she would say use the site. Why does she care if I use the sit to call her or call her directly?
If she doesnot speak english good enough - she may be shy to talk to you directly because she will not understand you. Hence the suggestion to call through the website because you can order a conference call and an interpreter will translate the conversation. During the conversation the lady can also tell you all her personal contact details if she's okay with it.
If she says something like "the agency won't let me tell you my phone, etc" - please report this to admin@fiance.com - we will investigate asap
So you are half latvian, suprize, suprize (...great, I am estonian, you know maybe you heard, a bit north:) What the hell you are doing in these dummies or scammers sites!
Go to Latvia and you can find loads and loads of russian girls who 99 pr. have mobile and 50 or more have EU citizenship! Why the hell you speaking of Vladivostok when UK is full lithuanian and latvian guest workers? And lots of them slavic?
Free dating sites and MSN personals are full of latvian or russian girls who speak decent english!
what's it got to do with you? And what are you doing on this site? Looking for a green card to usa? Anf yes I have been to Latvia and yes I found some girls for free!
so how old are you then and do you think estonia is richer than Latvia or about the same?
Are you also looking for a western husband? If so, you can go to Finland :)) It is not very far away you know. he he he.
About Latvian and Lithuanian girls in england, when they are here, they act differently to when they are back at home. they look for friends from their own country or turkish men. Turkish men always get foreign women in england, I dont know why. They should send them back to fuckin Istanbul. They can only sell kebabs anyway. At home Latvian girls are more serious but when they get here they become greedy and accustomed to English men (and turkish bastads) who have know idea about the problems faced in Latvia, estonia and lithuania.
ah but vladivostok is not very far from Alaska. People dont realise it. it is about 200miles or so from Alaska to the russian peninsula and then maybe 600-1000km to vladivostok. So, all you USA guys need to do is get on alaskan airlines and fly there in 2 hours. You can walk in winter across the ice too if you like, but dont forget to get your visa first.

I think you have left you run a bit late.
The temp in Vlad, has already dropped to -10 during the day and falling fast.
Not much chance of spotting any miniskirts.
There are bugger all international flights going in and out over the winter
And the hotels are crap and expensive.
Best bet would be to wait for early spring and cross the ice before the thaw.
I suppose the answer to the "no phone calls BUD" question is. #1-she doesn't have a phone, I find this one mildly difficult to believe because every Tom, Dick, Harry and Ludmilla has a mobile phone. #2-she may have been harrassed in the past and is being careful #3-she's being extremely careful #4-she really lives in Scam-a-lot. Pick one!
I had one like this that didn't want to give out the number, actually said she had no phone. At the time it wasn't so important to have that phone call as it was to verify that I was mailing with her and not some dude with nice pix of a lady, but no nudes, no porno, not like that. I kind of thought it was legit, well 50/50, because she didn't ask for anything, no money. That kinda fizzled out anyway. Nahja, seemed to be a pretty nice chick and gorgeous, like drop dead beautiful.
I'm bemused,
If one meets a lady in a local bar or club and asks for her phone number is she expected to automaically give it and without question?
So why should a pretty lady from FSU give her phone number to a guy that she has never met, particularly bearing in mind that 95% of guys that write letters will never travel to FSU or are just jerk-off's?
So latvian girls "change" and start to screw turks in UK! What a bad influence this country have to girls brains! I think I must stop visiting England!
All hope is in Vladivostok:)
Martin, I have to agree with you on the BAR point. Unless you hit it off very well from the beginning(which is tough these days)you're not going to get that number for at least a few meets. I have done a lot of thinking on this whole on-line dating/marriage deal. I've come to the conclusion that probably a lot of us guys in the beginning were hypnotized by the eye candy and have since settled into reality mode... well I have anyway. I'm using 2 websites now and am pretty comfortable with who I'm chatting with. Everything seems to be legit so I stay with this until I found out something different. Just be a sincere, nice guy and maybe the lady will say "hey stud, call me!!" Hey guys, there are websites that you can go to that actually don't control the situation. You pay your quid, dollars, whatever for membership and you and your interest are free to do pix,IM,phone,visit whatever w/o a middle person.
I have got a phone number from one lady at last and I called and although she wasn't in at the time, it did work. But there are still ladies who I am "wary" of because they do not answer your question regarding the phone number, they ignore it. Now, if they take ages to answer or only answer once in a blue moon, then I am even more sceptical of them, but some don't want to give their phone for honest reasons. You just have to make an informed decision whether the lady is honest or not.
This actual lady said that I wanted her phone number to see if she was real or not...So even they must know that some aren't and the scandal surrounding unreal ladies.
I would say that they ladies are 'wise' as to why, within the first few letters, a guy may be asking for their phone number or sending her a buch of flowers, he is 'checking her out' of course.
As I have said, repeatedly, before, these ladies are not stupid.
