Should I be alarmed if a lovely Moldovan lady (22 yrs old) I am speaking with spells her last name three different ways in English? Granted, they look like they could ALMOST be pronounced the same in English…well maybe. OK...now for some detail. I am in the USA, 31 yrs old, single, considered handsome, and looking for the whole package in a sweet and pretty lady. I am not seeking a FSU bride specifically, but I ran across what SEEMS to be a very nice one on friendfinder.com about a month ago. I flirted with her. We liked each other's photos...and since then we have talking almost daily on Yahoo Messenger. She talks to me from an Internet Cafe and sometimes goes to the cafe with a web cam so we can see each other. We also send emails to each other, and spoke on the phone for the first time last week. It was brief, yet sweet. (Her spoken English isn't great) Last night, on a whim, I saw her listing on Fiance.com. I asked her politely about it. She seemed surprised that I saw her on the site. She was not angry, as I could see her face on the web cam. She reluctantly admitted to being on the site as well as some other free dating sites. Although I am a little curious & jealous, I guess I don’t have a problem with that because, for now, I am still talking to a few other ladies on Yahoo Messenger that I have came across. Again, the thing that concerns me is that on the Fiance.com her last name is spelled one way. Then, also last night, we exchanged home addresses via email. She gave me her parents address in a village, as well the address for the place she stays at in Chisinau while going to the State University of Moldova. In that email she spelled her last name two different ways, AGAIN ...IN THE SAME EMAIL. One spelling to her parents home, another to the Chisinau address. That makes THREE DIFERENT WAYS ALL TOGETHER!..? I just sent her a polite email telling her I was a little confused about the three spellings. I really am interested in this "seemingly" sweet creature. I would like to visit her next summer, which she loves the thought of. She says she really likes me, thinks I am very good looking and sweet, and will make a good father. (I do look forward to having children with a wonderful lady) We have exchanged family photos. She even offered to remove her profile from the dating sites she is on and stop talking to other male friends she has on Yahoo Messenger if I asked her to. I think that is a sweet gesture, but premature....or is it premature? I have a big, yet cautious heart. (I AM TRYING TO BE LOGICAL HERE...NOT EMOTIONAL, AS I AM NEW TO THIS INTERNET DATING STUFF) Anyways, tell me your thoughts. PS- I just read the ANTI-SCAM book, and no she hasn't asked for money. saridder Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/2/2003 10:33:57 PM   My honest opinion, and it's just me, is that you are overanalyzing it way too much. All the good signs are there - she's offered to pull herself off the market, she enjoys talking to you on an almost daily basis, you've exchanged family photos, have both confirmed a trip next summer and are seemingly very happy and excited about the possibilities between you two. The only negative is a misspelled name, and that could be for a few reasons. A, she misspelled it. B, the translation from Cyrillic to Roman plus the translation of the name may to the Westernized format may allow for a few different possibilities. There's a few threads in this forum about a girl named Olesja. She signs it that way, but if you look at the title of the Topic - Olesya's Message, it's clearly spelled differently. When I lived in Germany, sometimes the "j" was a "y-sounding." So instead of Julia, the person's name might have been pronounced, Yulia. Once again, these are my rational thoughts and as an outside observer looking in you are overanalyzing it. My advice - Go enjoy each other's company and I hope you guys find true happiness. chipscher Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/3/2003 12:15:43 AM   Music, it is not uncommon for women to have several spellings in english. I know the name Anastasia can be written as that, Nastja, and Nastia. I forgot where it is (I am sorry) but there is a website of Russian names with english spellings, and many names can be spelled several different ways in English. Have you already thought that she can have 2 spellings, and the third (second in 1 e-mail) is a simple typo? I think that you should relax a bit, things seem to be going well, if she offered to take her name off, then that is cool for her to do it, but don't you go talking to anyone else! My opinion is that she is fine, and do not read too much into it! RandyS Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/3/2003 10:37:04 AM   Give it a chance. I also would like some help with a situation. I have been writing a young woman, 24, and she seems very nice. We talk about family and other things. I am 40 and just worry that she may be scamming also. Plus, she is from Mariupol and it seems that I have received some letters from girls there that didn't add up. Maybe i'm just over anylizing also...but. She did mention that if I come to Russia, she would like to see me...which i think is a good sign. Let me know what you guys think and offer any advice. Thanks. chipscher Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/3/2003 12:35:17 PM   Randy, if I may ask, what is your lady's name? I correspond with several people from Marioupol, and if we correspond with the same person, we can compare notes to see if she is ok or not. gladiatorUK Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/3/2003 3:06:44 PM   Randy....just seen your post and while I do not mean to be nit-picking,you sat your lady would be happy for you to visit Russia to see her.......but I hope you are aware that Mariupol is in Ukraine.....south east to be precise. Hope it may be a misunderstanding on my part. Musicman Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/3/2003 8:19:20 PM   Thank you gentlemen for your calming words of advice. I will likely see her online tonight and make sure I have the correct spelling of her last name so I can send a little something from USA. RandyS Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/4/2003 11:35:02 AM   Chip...her name is Irina. Gladiator...I stand corrected...it is in the Ukraine. Geography was never my best subject. And not very knowledgable on the new geo-political structure of the Former Soviet Union and Baltic States. Actually had to look that one up!!!! But i do plan on continuing with her and visiting that region next summer. Good day gentlemen. gladiatorUK Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/4/2003 5:04:25 PM   On a less than serious side Randy .........please make sure you get on the right plane!!And I hope everything goes well for you. chipscher Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/4/2003 10:48:56 PM   Randy, Irina Bukina? Irina Gorovaya? Irina Lugovskaya? If any of these are correct, please let me know Your Reply: Your name:   New Registration Password:   Forgot password?   refresh Code:   Russian brides > Main Forum > OGLA & OTHERS, PLEASE HELP A CAUTIOUS HEART
