I have been corresponding with a young lady in Kharkov. We have spoken on the telephone and exchanged emails for 3 months. I am planning a visit there in April. Everything seems to be fairly legimate. She is a very interesting young women and has alot of personality. I have no address for her other than a PO box she stays with her grandmother and claims she goes through her mail. She had taken recent photos, within the week. I noticed she has a fing on her left hand, actually on her ring finger. What is the significance of this in Ukraine. It doesn't resemble what Americans would call a engagment ring. Is there any significance of the ring?
I'd be more concerned about not having her address....a PO box??
Why should she care about her grandmother going through her mail? Can her grandmother read English?
Shouldn't her grandmother be happy that her granddaughter is corresponding with a foreign gentleman and potential suitor?
I never sent flowers or photographer before a meeting and never had a false address or no-show, flowers, gifts, photographer etc. is yet another money making commercialism of the industry.
