Greek god....many are just lonely and enjoy having their ego stroked...many are outright scammer's....many have no idea, or have not contemplated the serious implication's of a relationship with a foreign man....most are VERY busy..(like we aren't,lol)....i have a friend in NZ who is a former soviet citizen,she had 2 job's in Russia and was VERY busy...until she came to NZ...she(she is a psychologist) tells me we work much harder here than those in Russia...i have been to Russia myself and i have yet to visit a country that has so many public holidays as in Russia...god forbid they get full westernisation...then they will really know what busy is...i have 4 children...a company...and i still allocate time to pursue my greatest interest of all...that of a future partner...so dont buy her story "i have been really busy and have not had time to write"...and dont buy her story.."i use the agency and it is awkward to "find" the time to write"(we all have the same 24hrs a day,you dont find time,you allocate and organise it)...and dont buy her story"i dont have a computor and have to use an internet cafe,so i dont have much time to write"..they are all predominantly city dweller's and all their service's including internet access are "very" conveniently located to their homes and work...bottom line...if it takes more than 2-4 days to recieve a reply to your interest...it means they value their work and other interest's higher than their interest in you, or that of seeking a partner...let them go and find a genuine and serious one...of which there are so few....good luck...you will need this more than anything.
